Killer scoffs fast food for final meal before he's executed after remorseful last words
A death row inmate had a last meal that included pumpkin pie and a pint of ice cream before he was executed on Thursday. Child killer and torturer Richard Fairchild was executed in Oklahoma, US
An executed man had a last meal that included a pint of ice cream and pumpkin pie - before saying his death was "justice".
Richard Fairchild ordered a last meal of two quarter-pounder cheeseburgers, large chips, pumpkin pie, a pint of chocolate ice cream and a large coke to drink.
He was executed on his birthday by lethal injection on Thursday and his death was recorded at 10.24am.
The former marine died in an execution chamber at Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester at the age of 63 and expressed remorse for what he did in his final words.
"Today's a day for Adam, justice for Adam," Fairchild said before he was given the first of a controversial three-drug cocktail at 10.10am.
"I'm at peace with God. Don't grieve for me because I'm going home to meet my heavenly father."
Death row inmates in Oklahoma have to adhere to a budget of $25 (£22) dollars for their final meal.
State protocol says that "reasonable effort shall be made to accommodate the request, which shall not exceed $25."
Earlier this year, another child killer Benjamin Cole, who was executed despite concerns for his competency by his lawyers, ordered a vegetarian lasagne.
His lasagne, salad with dressing, tortilla and a fruit drink packet were served at 7.30pm on Wednesday, October 19.
Fairchild was sentenced to death for torturing and killing his girlfriend's three-year-old son Adam Broomhall in 1993.
Prosecutors said held both sides of the boy against a scorching furnace before throwing him on the table because he wet the bed. The little boy never regained consciousness and died the same day.
The Oklahoma attorney general's office said "the method of Adam's murder can only be described as torture."
Broomhall's uncle said he was surprised to hear Fairchild express remorse for his nephew's death.
