A Texas man was executed Thursday for murdering his girlfriend’s 13-month-old daughter in what prosecutors described as a brutal, 30-hour "exorcism."

Blaine Milam , 35, was convicted of killing 13-month-old Amora Carson in December 2008 after attempting to expel a demon from her body inside his trailer in Rusk County, east of Dallas, according to The Associated Press.

He was pronounced dead by lethal injection at 6:40 p.m. at the state penitentiary in Huntsville.

The Associated Press reported that prison officials said Milam appeared anxious when he arrived at the Huntsville Unit prison early Thursday afternoon, adding he said he had a headache. He was then placed into a small holding cell adjacent to the death chamber.
