The odd final words of the oldest man to ever be executed have now been revealed.
In 1990, Billie Wayne Coble, 70, was convicted of murdering his estranged wife's parents Robert and Zelda Vicha, and her brother, John Vicha and was put on death row.
He was found guilty of ambushing the three victims, shooting them dead at their home in Axtell, US, over 30 years ago, reports the DailyStar.
Then, the killer kidnapped his estranged wife - sparking a lengthy police chase.
While in the car he stabbed her before crashing the vehicle, but his wife survived and testified against him.
The Vietnam war veteran was then sentenced to death in Texas and it took until February 2019 for him to finally be executed.
The pensioner had a few strange words to say before he died from a lethal injection at the state death chamber in Huntsville, Texas.
According to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, his last words were: "That will be five dollars. Take care."
Coble was arrested and jailed in 1990 and was sentenced to death row in the same year.
But then, in 2007, the death sentence was overturned and Coble was granted a new trial.
But the following year the jury once again sentenced him to death.
Reports claim the pensioner has never shown any remorse for the killings and has been described as having a "heart full of scorpions".
Just eight days before he was executed Coble was interviewed by Susanna Reid, where he seemed pretty relaxed about his impending doom.
Coble said: "Death is a death. A person said one time 'that's a horrible way of dying'. I said 'what is a good way'.
"Who is not going to leave this world? Aren't we all? It depends on how long a person has already lived.
"The longer you've lived, the easier it is to accept death."
