A man was executed by injection for abducting, sexually torturing and killing a 15-year-old boy in 1990.
Michael Carl George, 39, was executed Thursday night at the Greensville Correctional Center for murdering Alexander Eugene Sztanko. The slaying came just four years after George was released from prison, where he had served time for killing an 8-year-old boy.Alexander was abducted as he rode a motorcycle along a dirt trail in Woodbridge. After handcuffing the teenager to a tree, George sodomized him, used a stun gun to shock the boy's genitals and then shot him in the head with a handgun.
"It brings an end to a very tragic killing, but unfortunately probably will never bring closure for the family," said state Del. David G. Brickley, a witness to the execution.
