Dylan Roof, the 22-year-old white supremacist who killed nine black worshippers in a church in South Carolina in a racially motivated attack has been sentenced to death.
Roof carried out the attack at the historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in June last year, wanting to ignite a racial war between whites and blacks in the country.

Mirror UK reports that Roof declined to plead for his life in front of jurors by saying: “I still feel like I had to do it.” The report adds that Roof stood with his hands at his side and his face emotionless, as a clerk read the verdict aloud in court.
