Ohio Man Executed
The man who killed and dismembered a woman and scattered her body parts in Ohio and Pennsylvania has been executed through the first U.S. lethal injection using just one drug, not the conventional three drugs.
The execution of Kenneth Biros originally scheduled for 10 a.m., was delayed about an hour while he waited for word from the U.S. Supreme Court on a last emergency appeal. The court turned down the appeal just before 10 a.m.
Biros had argued the state's new method would be painful.
In 1991, Biros killed 22-year-old Tami Engstrom near Warren, Ohio, after offering to drive her home from a bar. After dismembering her, he scattered her body parts in Ohio as well as Butler and Venango counties in Pennsylvania.
