Eight convicted drug smugglers have been executed by firing squad in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
The executions took place in Besi prison on the island of Nusakambangan early on Wednesday morning local time.
\nHowever, the execution of a ninth convict, a woman from the Philippines, was postponed at the last minute.<\/p>\n
Among those killed were Australians Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran. Earlier, the men’s families were allowed to see them for the last time.<\/p>\n
Australia had appealed to Indonesia to delay the executions, citing alleged flaws in how their case was prosecuted.<\/p>\n
Those put to death also include Nigerian nationals, a Brazilian and an Indonesian.<\/p>\n
