A former police officer has been executed despite a last-minute legal batte over allegedly 'expired' death drugs.
Robert Fratta, 65, was found guilty of hiring two people to kill his estranged wife Farah Fratta almost 30 years ago following a contentious divorce.
He was administered a lethal injection on Tuesday evening at Huntsville state penitentiary in Huntsville, United States and pronounced dead at 7:49 p.m.
