Atlanta - The US state of Georgia on Thursday executed a man convicted of beating another man to death with a wooden closet rod in 1994, a prison spokeswoman said.

Joshua Bishop, 41, who had also admitted to being involved in a second murder, died by injection at 9.27pm (01.27 GMT) at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson, said Lisa Rodriguez-Presley, a spokeswoman for the Georgia Department of Corrections.

His execution was the third in Georgia this year and the 10th in the United States, the non-profit Death Penalty Information Centre said.
