Letters from a killer executed in the US for slaying his girlfriend two days before Christmas are for sale on Trade Me by his former Kiwi pen pal.
Hamilton man David Perfect said he was selling the letters as he now wanted "closure" from his relationship with death row inmate William Earl Lynd.
Lynd was put to death by lethal injection in Georgia in May 2008 after being convicted of shooting his partner, Ginger Moore, 26, in the face during an argument outside their home in 1988. He shot her again when she regained consciousness.
Lynd then put Moore in the boot of a car and drove away.
Prosecutors argued Moore was still alive when Lynd heard a thumping noise coming from the trunk, so he got out and shot her a third time before burying her body in a shallow grave. Lynd later drove to Ohio, where he shot another woman who told police what happened before she died.
