A man who killed nine black people attending a Bible study in an historic church in the US city of Charleston has been sentenced to death.
Dylann Storm Roof, 22, was last month convicted of 33 federal offences, relating to the June, 2015, shootings at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Those killed were aged between 26 and 87 years.
The US Justice Department reportedly said he was the first person to receive a death sentence for federal hate crimes.
The jury took only about three hours to reach its verdict.
