Georgia carries out first execution of the year for 1992 stabbing
The US state of Georgia has carried out its first execution of the year, putting to death a man convicted of killing a 73-year-old neighbour in 1992.
JW Ledford Jr, 45, was pronounced dead at the state prison in Jackson, more than six hours after his initial execution time. The delay came as he waited for a ruling from the US Supreme Court, which denied his request for a stay.
