Miami:
A 48 -year -old man is to be executed by a deadly injection in the Southern American state of Florida to kill a newspaper employee in April 2000, which was abducted on his lunch break.
Michael Tanzi is to be killed at 6:00 pm (2200 GMT) at Florida State Jail in Riford to kill 49, 49, Janet Acosta.
Tanj will be the third death line prisoner to reach Florida and 11th in the United States this year.
Tanj confesses to the murder of Acosta, an employee of the Miami Herald newspaper, and sentenced to death in 2003.
While she was having lunch in her van, she kidnapped Acosta, forced her to withdraw money from the ATM machine and sexually assaulted her before strangling her and dumping her body.
He also confessed – but never accused – with another woman’s murder, and a police detective described Tanj as a “serial killer” to Miami Herald.
Tanj’s lawyers have tried to prevent their execution that there may be problems with fatal injections as he is “sickly prone to obesity”, but his appeal has been rejected.
Their execution is one of the two to be done in the United States this week.
42-year-old Mikal Mahdi is to be killed by a firing squad in South Carolina on Friday for the 2004 murder of an off-duty police officer.
Mahdi will be another person executed by the firing squad in South Carolina this year.
The Supreme Court has performed the largest majority in American execution since the reinstatement of death sentence in 1976 using deadly injections.
Last year, 25 execution took place in the United States.
The death sentence in 23 out of 50 American states has been abolished, while three other – California, Oregon and Pennsylvania – are adjourned.
