A man found guilty in the 1979 rape and murder of a six-year-old girl was executed in Florida on Thursday.
Bryan Frederick Jennings was pronounced dead at 6.20pm local time after being administered a three-drug lethal injection. Jennings was sentenced to death for the killing of Rebecca Kunash, whom he drowned in a canal, according to reports.
Jennings said “no” after being asked whether he had a final statement. Kunash’s relatives did not comment publicly following Jennings’ execution.
“The execution took place without incident. There were no complications,” Jordan Kirkland, Florida department of corrections spokesperson, said, per the Associated Press.
