Authorities in the US state of Tennessee failed to carry out the death sentence of 50-year-old Christa Pike, the newspaper Kommersant reports.
According to the outlet, the woman was given two doses of the drug intended for lethal injection, but she remained conscious. This was set to be the first execution of a woman in the state's history in nearly 200 years.
The case drew widespread attention precisely because death sentences against women in the US are carried out extremely rarely. The report gives no further details on the convicted woman's fate or on how state authorities plan to proceed.
