Christopher Collings, 49, convicted of raping and murdering nine-year-old Rowan Ford, was executed by lethal injection in Bonne Terre, Missouri, US. His lawyers attempted to halt the execution with the Supreme Court, arguing against the credibility of the key witness and the involvement of the victim's stepfather in the crime. Missouri Governor Mike Parson denied a clemency request for Collings, stating the execution was justified by the severity of his crimes.
