Vampire killer executed in US
WASHINGTON: A man convicted of killing and mutilating a 12-year-old boy whose blood he claims he drank was executed by the US state of Texas, authorities said Wednesday.
Pablo Vasquez, 38, was put to death by lethal injection in Huntsville at 1835 (0035 GMT Thursday), Texas penitentiary officials said.
Vasquez, who was 20 at the time of the crime, killed David Cardenas while at a party; he struck the boy in the head with a pipe and slit his throat.
In police transcripts of a videotaped 1998 confession, Vasquez said he heard voices telling him to drink the dead boy’s blood.
