Missouri set to carry out first US execution since pandemic began

The US state of Missouri is set to execute a death row inmate by lethal injection on Tuesday, the first execution in the United States after a two-and-a-half-month hiatus because of the coronavirus pandemic. Walter Barton, 64, was convicted in 2006 of the 1991 murder of Gladys Kuehler, an 81-year-old woman who was stabbed to death in Ozark, Missouri. Barton's lawyers filed a last-minute appeal for a stay of execution with the US Supreme Court, but the court denied the application without commenting on the case.
