According to Daily Star and other foreign media, Christopher Collings, 49, was recently executed by lethal injection at Bonterre Prison in St. Francois County, Missouri.
He spent more than 90 minutes with a religious man about six hours before his execution, after which he was served his last meal.
The last meal was a bacon cheeseburger, fried mushrooms, potatoes, and salad.
Also, minutes before the execution, his last words were recorded.
He said "Right or wrong, I'll take this situation as it is. I'm sorry to everyone hurt in this life"I hope to see you in heaven someday."
The lawyer said "The death penalty is an act of revenge" We say goodbye to our friend, but his generosity, kindness, and gentle spirit will be remembered"
Netizens posted comments such as "Return a crime, not revenge", "It's brazen to say heaven","The girl's family will live in pain for the rest of their lives".
Meanwhile, Collings woke Rowan (then 9 years old), the daughter of a family she had known, up from her sleep in 2007 and took her to a camper van and raped her. He claimed at the time that he was drunk on alcohol and drugs.
He tried to take the girl home again, but it turned out that he killed her because he recognized her face.
In addition, the girl's body was buried in a remote pit to destroy evidence, and it was discovered after a police investigation.
