(UTV|COLOMBO) – A serial killer who preyed on gay men along the US east coast has been executed in Florida.
Gary Ray Bowles was executed by lethal injection after the Supreme Court rejected a last-ditch appeal.
Bowles admitted to killing six men in 1994 from Florida to Maryland but was only convicted of three deaths.
Sometimes dubbed the “I-95 killer”, most of his victims were found near the interstate corridor that spans the entire eastern seaboard of the US.
Investigators say the 57-year-old West Virginia native left an abusive household as a child and worked as a prostitute to gay men for a number of years before beginning his killing spree. (BBC)
