RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Gov. Tim Kaine will not stop the execution of a former Army counterintelligence worker from Maryland who is set to die by electrocution for killing a northern Virginia couple.

Sixty-year-old Larry Bill Elliott is scheduled to be executed at 9 p.m. Tuesday at Greensville Correctional Center in Jarratt for the January 2001 shooting deaths of 25-year-old Dana Thrall and 30-year-old Robert Finch.

Prosecutors said Elliott killed the couple to win the love of former stripper and escort Rebecca Gragg, who was involved in a custody dispute with Finch.

The U.S. Supreme Court also refused to block the execution.

Elliott made the rare choice of electrocution, an option taken by only four of the 80 inmates executed since they were given a choice in 1995.
