The execution of a prisoner for killing a fellow cellmate over a chess game took two hours as his executioners struggled to find a vein in his arm for the lethal injection, reports said Friday.
Christopher Newton, 37, was said to have joked with prison workers and even had a toilet break, The Indianapolis Star newspaper reported.
The delay in carrying out the execution was the longest since Ohio state reintroduced capital punishment in 1999, the report said.
'Yes, boy, I could sure go for some beef stew and a chicken bone. That's it,' Newton said in his final brief statement before he died at 11:53 am (1553 GMT) Thursday.
It is believed Newton's weight, at just over 120 kilograms, was a contributing factor in the difficulties in administering the death penalty.
Executions normally take 20 minutes, the newspaper said.
