A Death Row killer gorged on a lavish final meal including pecan pie and onion rings ahead of his execution on Thursday (February 23).
Donald Dillbeck, 59, was locked up in Florida State Prison, US, over the 1990 murder of Faye Vann, 44.
Dillbeck was a fugitive at the time, having escaped from prison where he was being held for killing a police officer.

He'd also murdered another man in Indiana prior to that, when he was just 15, reports the Mirror.
On the morning of his execution he was visited by his spiritual advisor before tucking into his final meal request, prison spokeswoman Michelle Glady said.
Settling down for the meal at 9.45am, he ate fried shrimp, onion rings, mushrooms, butter pecan ice cream, pecan pie and a chocolate bar.
State rules in Florida make a limit of $40 (£33) on last meals to avoid extravagance - and all food must be bought locally.
None of his relatives came to visit him.
Then at 6pm the curtain between the death chamber and the viewing room opened and Dillbeck gave his last words.
“I know I hurt people when I was young. I really messed up,” he said before a foul-mouthed attack on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
“But I know Ron DeSantis has done a lot worse. He’s taken a lot from a lot of people. I speak for all men, women and children. He’s put his foot on our necks. Ron DeSantis and other people like him can suck our d***s.”
The execution was Florida's first in nearly four years and the third under Republican Gov DeSantis.
Dillbeck was 15 when he stabbed a man in Indiana while trying to steal a CB radio, court records show.
He fled to Florida, where Lee County Deputy Dwight Lynn Hall found him in a Fort Myers Beach parking lot. While Hall was searching him, Dillbeck hit the deputy in the groin and ran. Hall tackled him and, as the two wrestled, Dillbeck took Hall's gun and shot him twice.
Dillbeck was 11 years into a life sentence for killing the deputy when he walked away from a work release assignment catering a meal for a seniors event, according to court records. He then bought a paring knife and walked to Tallahassee.
Ms Vann was waiting for her family when Dillbeck approached her car with the knife and demanded a ride, saying he'd forgotten how to drive, court records show.
She honked the horn, tried to drive off and fought back that Sunday afternoon, but Dillbeck stabbed her more than 20 times and slit her throat.
He crashed the car a short time later and was captured after running from the scene.
