HUNTSVILLE, Texas –  The Mexican government condemned the execution of a Mexican national for fatally beating a former Baylor University history professor and attacking his wife more than 16 years ago.

On Wednesday, the Mexican government’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement saying the execution of Ramiro Hernández Llanas, 44, through lethal injection was “in clear violation of the judgment of the International Court of Justice.”

"The Government of Mexico expresses its most vigorous protest at the failure to comply," the ministry said.

Hernández Llanas was in the United States illegally when he was arrested for the October 1997 slaying of 49-year-old Glen Lich. Just 10 days earlier, Lich had given Hernández Llanas a job helping with renovations at his ranch near Kerrville, about 65 miles northwest of San Antonio, in exchange for living quarters.
