A man convicted of murder during the robbery of $15 when he was 18 years-old has been executed in the United States.
Mr Adremy Dennis, now 28, was the seventh man to be executed in the state of Ohio this year.
He was pronounced dead at the state prison in Lucasville after being injected with a lethal dose of chemicals. His was the 935th execution in the United States since the death penalty was restored in 1976.
Governor of Ohio Bob Taft denied clemency yesterday, saying the case had been thoroughly reviewed and the crime was brutal.
Dennis was convicted of aggravated murder for killing Kurt Kyle with a sawn-off shotgun after encountering his vicitm and a companion in a driveway in Akron, Ohio.
He stole $15 from the companion but killed Kyle when he said he had no money, police said.
Dennis was 18 when the crime occurred in June 1994.
Prison spokeswoman Andrea Dean said Dennis was allowed a special meal the evening before his execution - fried catfish, lasagna with meat sauce, garlic bread, sweet potato pie, pecan pie and pumpkin pie, all with whipped cream, as well as vanilla and chocolate ice cream.
