T
he Attorney General has announced that three convicted murderers were executed at Nusakambangan Island in Cilacap, Central Java, early on Friday morning.
'The executions were carried out at 0:00 a.m.,' Junior Attorney for General Crimes Mahfud Manan said in Jakarta on Friday, as quoted by Antara news agency.
Suryadi, one of the convicts, who hailed from Palembang, South Sumatra, was found guilty of killing a whole family in 1991, while the two others, Jurit and Ibrahim, were convicted of murder in Musi Banyuasin regency also in South Sumatra in 1997.
Their petition for clemency was rejected in 2003 by then president Megawati Soekarnoputri.
The bodies of Jurit and Ibrahim will reportedly be flown to Palembang, for burial in their home village in line with requests from their families, while Suryadi's will be buried in Kalipasung cemetery in Cilacap. (nai)
