Bali Nine ringleaders Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, along with six others including Nigerians have been killed by an Indonesian firing squad, local media is reporting.
The Jakarta Post reported Chan, 31, Sukumaran, 33, and six other prisoners were taken to a jungle clearing on the island Nusakambangan.
They were shot dead by firing squads comprising 12 police privates shortly after midnight (7.00 p.m. Nigerian time).
Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso, the Filipino drug mule, was spared after new information emerged about her case.
The Australian duo were accompanied by their nominated spiritual advisers in some of their final moments, although it is understood they did not witness the executions.
Sukumaran had pledged to face the firing squad with ‘strength and dignity’ and was planning to go without a blindfold. Their last meal was KFC.
Chan, 31, and Sukumaran, 33, were the first to be shot in the round of executions.
