The execution of a serial killer who has been in prison for 50 years in the U.S. has been postponed.

According to foreign media such as the BBC, on the 27th (local time), it was reported that the execution attempt, which took place in a correctional facility in Boise, Idaho, failed to proceed as planned.

The execution was scheduled for 10 a.m. (local time), but the prison failed to find a suitable vein to administer the lethal injection through an IV drip.

In an attempt to carry out Thomas Creech’s execution, they stuck an IV needle into veins in his arm and leg ten times but ultimately failed.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons announced, “The state’s death warrant had expired, and we are considering the next steps, including the possibility of seeking another warrant from the court or postponing the execution indefinitely.”

In response, Thomas Creech’s defense criticized the authorities, attributing the failure to the lack of experience and training of the personnel involved in the execution process.

Thomas Creech has been in prison for 50 years since 1974 on charges of committing five murders in three states and killing a fellow inmate in 1981.

This incident recalls a similar situation in 2022 when an attempt to inject poison for the execution of death row inmate Kenneth Smith in Alabama failed because they could not find a vein.

In response, Alabama authorities reportedly executed him using nitrogen gas.

The method of execution using nitrogen gas involves putting a mask on the death row inmate and injecting nitrogen gas, causing them to die from hypoxia.

Nitrogen gas execution drew significant surprise and criticism, as it marked the first-ever instance of such a method being employed worldwide
