Texas executes killer

Austin: Texas has executed a man convicted of murdering a woman by stabbing her repeatedly after breaking into her San Antonio home in 2004.

TaiChin Preyor (46) died by lethal injection at the state’s death chamber in Huntsville, a prisons official said.

The execution was the 543rd in Texas since the US Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976, the most of any state.
