Hymns were sung before executions

The eight prisoners executed in Indonesia refused blindfolds and sang Amazing Grace and Bless The Lord O My Soul, before their singing was silenced by gunfire.

Just hours before their death by firing squad, Bali Nine ringleaders Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran organised a special last meal of KFC fast food for their fellow condemned prisoners.

Australia said it will withdraw its ambassador to Indonesia after two of its citizens were among eight drug traffickers executed by the south-east Asian country, but was wary of escalating hostilities with its near neighbour despite a public outcry.
