The Indonesian government has cremated one
of the four persons executed Thursday night
for drug trafficking.
However, bodies of the three others were
being prepared for burial.
Controversy had been trailing the handling of
the process, which saw the other 10 prisoners
slated for death – including citizens from
India, Pakistan and Zimbabwe – spared at the
last minute.
Authorities did not give a reason for the
reprieve, but the prison island where they
were expected to be executed in outdoor
clearings was hit by a major storm as the
other sentences were carried out.
Attorney General Muhammad Prasetyo said
Friday the 10 inmates had been returned to
their cells, suggesting their executions were
not imminent.
“The fate of the other 10 we will determine
later. We will see when the right time will be,”
Prasetyo told reporters.
“But one thing is for sure — we will never
stop executing people on death row.”
