Singapore hangs two drug traffickers [View All]

Singapore executed two convicted Malaysian drug traffickers yesterday, despite appeals for clemency from lawyers and a human rights group.

Vignes Mourthi, 23, was found guilty of drug trafficking last year after his arrest in September 2001 for smuggling 27 grams of heroin. The other man, Moorthi Angappan, was convicted of helping him.

Anyone caught in possession of more than 15 grams of heroin in Singapore faces the death penalty.

At the crematorium yesterday, distraught relatives climbed into the hearse carrying Mourthi's body, opened the casket and began beating his chest, trying to revive him. His mother, Kumari, took out a white towel and wiped her son's neck and face.

He was smuggling what was about the size of 1/2 of a McCrap hamburger patty. Ok, I can live with this if you have the same sentence for CEO who steal, politicians who are corrupt or lie, and world leaders who commit Crimes Against humanity, and Media Whores who lie.
