A German drug company, Fresenius Kabi, may become the prime supplier of execution drugs to US death rows following the decision taken last month by the State of Missouri to use propofol in lethal injections.The switch to propofol, which was announced by Missouri prison on the 17th May, is a response to the unavailability of the previously used execution drugs, sodium thiopental and pentobarbital. Other states, also unable to procure the old execution drugs, are now likely to follow suit.
