‘The hangman was too tired to hang me – three times’ - BBC News
On death row in Malawi, Byson Kaula was nearly executed three times - but on each occasion the hangman stopped work before hanging all the prisoners on his list. So he survived… until the country stopped executing people altogether.
Byson Kaula says jealous neighbors were responsible for him being found guilty of murder. It was 1992 and murder in those days carried a mandatory death sentence.
============================================
Some people have all the luck.
