Australian drug smugglers Andrew Chan (inset left) and Myuran Sukumaran (top right) are set to be executed by firing squad today. The duo are part of the Bali Nine who were convicted in 2005 of plotting to smuggle around 18.2lbs heroin from Indonesia to Australia.
The shooting is planned for this evening despite Indonesia's Constitutional Court agreeing to hear a legal challenge brought by the pair, with a hearing set for May 12. Chan married his fiancée (centre right and left on Sunday) of less than three months inside the prison yesterday, where coffins (bottom right) were seen arriving in the evening. Crosses with the pair's names and a date of death - today - have already been made. Sukumuran has vowed not to wear a blindfold when he faces the firing squad tonight so he can look his killers in the eye.
