Bali duo verdict on April 6

An Indonesian court hearing the appeals of two Australian death row convicts will announce a verdict on April 6, one of the judges determining the case says.

Bali Nine members Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan are among a group of 10 prisoners, mostly foreigners, facing imminent execution for drug offences after president Joko Widodo rejected their pleas for clemency.

“Both sides have been given ample opportunity to present evidence and testimony,” judge Ujang Abdullah told the court.

“The [panel of three] judges will decide on the case after studying the evidence submitted.

“The court is adjourned until Monday April 6 when the judges will read out the verdict [in both cases].”

More to come.
