Brandon Bernard: First execution of Trump's final days

U.S. set to execute Brandon Bernard, who was 18 at the time of his crime,  despite appeals

Death row inmate Brandon Bernard has been killed by lethal injection at a federal prison after the US Supreme Court rejected a last-minute request to delay his execution.

Bernard, 40, was just 18 when he took part in the 1999 double murder of an Iowa religious couple, whose bodies he burned in the boot of their car in Texas.

He told Todd and Stacey Bagley's family he was sorry shortly before he was put to death.
