Alabama murderer killed by lethal injection in third U.S. execution this week

A man convicted of the 1994 execution-style shooting of a store clerk in Alabama was put to death last night - the third U.S. execution this week.

Derrick Mason, 37, was given a lethal injection and pronounced dead minutes later at 6:49pm at Alabama's Holman Prison.

Strapped to the gurney, Mason gave a brief statement, apologising to the victim's family 'for the hurt and pain I caused' them.
