Washington state abolishes death penalty.

 

Washington has become has become the 20th US state to ban the death penalty, after its Supreme Court ruled the punishment was applied in an "arbitrary and racially biased manner".

 

The eight people currently on death row in the north-western state immediately had their sentences commuted to life.

The news was welcomed by campaigners.

 

A total of 23 people were executed in the US last year, but Washington has not carried out the death penalty since 2010.

Judges sitting on the Washington state Supreme Court unanimously backed Thursday's decision, made during an appeal by death row inmate Allen Eugene Gregory, who raped and murdered a woman in 1996.
