The US state of Georgia has executed its oldest death row inmate, a 72-year-old man.
Brandon Astor Jones was sentenced to the death penalty 36 years ago, after being convicted of killing a shop manager during a robbery.
His execution was delayed by several hours after his lawyers filed a last-minute appeal with the Supreme Court.
According to BBC News, Jones was given a lethal injection in the early hours of today at a prison in Jackson, after accepting a final prayer.
