A: Pizza deliverywoman killer executed ( United Press International )

JARRATT, Va., Mar 19, 2004 (United Press International via COMTEX) -- Brian Lee
Cherrix was executed by injection in Virginia's death chamber at Jarratt, a
decade after he raped and killed a young mother.

Cherrix, 30, was sentenced to death for the Jan. 27, 1994, murder of Tessa Van
Hart, 23, a mother of two who worked as a pizza deliverywoman on Chincoteague
Island.

She had been lured to a remote area of the island to deliver a pizza where she
was sodomized and shot twice in the head, the Washington Post said. Members of
her family, including her husband and mother, attended the Thursday night
execution.

Cherrix, of Accomack County, Va., was pronounced dead at 9:10 p.m. at the
Greensville Correctional Center. He declined to make a final statement,
Corrections Department spokesman Larry Traylor said.

Cherrix, who has claimed innocence, decided not to seek clemency and instructed
his defense attorneys not to file any final appeals, attorney Michele Brace
said.
