Frank G. Spisak Jr. was executed early on Thursday morning in Ohio.
Spisak, a Hitler devotee, killed 3 men and wounded another during his 1982 murder spree on the Cleveland State University campus. He was pronounced dead at 10:34a.m.
Spisak is the first condemned inmate to be put to death so far this year in Ohio, and the 7th so far in the USA. His execution is the last in which the state will use the drug sodium thiopental, in the midst of nationwide shortages and the discontinuation of its production in Italy. The state intends to use a single drug - Pentobarbital, also called Nembutal - in future executions, the next of which is scheduled for March 10th.
