A man convicted of murdering two people in the American state of Oklahoma was sentenced to death on Thursday. The killer had shot dead two people, including an Indian, in 2002. Michael Dewayne Smith was executed by lethal injection at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester, according to reports.
Smith killed two Indians
Smith murdered Indian store clerk Sharat Pulluru and another person, Janet Moore, in separate incidents on 22 February 2002. Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond released a statement on Smith's execution, saying, “It has been a difficult 22 years for the families of Janet Moore and Sharath Puluru.
I am grateful that justice was served
He has suffered. Both were murdered because they were at the wrong place at the wrong time. I am grateful that justice was served. Last month, Sharath's brother, Harish Pulluru, issued a statement demanding that Smith not be pardoned.
