Mekong murderers executed today in Kunming

MYANMAR drug lord Naw Kham and three of his accomplices, all of whom were convicted of murdering 13 Chinese sailors on the Mekong River in 2011, were executed by injection this afternoon in Kunming, southwestern Yunnan Province.

Prison official Lu Yongchang previously said the four have not overreacted to the verdict, but have exhibited some physical changes, such as increased blood pressure.

The prison prepared lunch in their hometown style this noon and also allowed family members to visit them yesterday.

Some of the four prepared wills, which were handed over to their relatives this morning.

Lu said the convicts had their legal rights fully respected while incarcerated.

Zhao Biao, a provincial police officer, said the prisoners have been treated equally and have not been discriminated against, adding that their religious beliefs and dietary habits have been respected.

During their ten-month jail term, the four underwent physical exams three times daily, Zhao said.
