A US white supremacist
who targeted black and Jewish people in a nationwide killing spree has
been put to death in the US state of Missouri.
The 63-year-old was convicted of seven other racially motivated murders. He claimed to have committed 20 in total.
His execution came after the US Supreme Court upheld an appeal court's decision to lift a stay of execution.
