REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- National Police Chief General Sutarman has said his personnel are ready to execute death row convicts and are awaiting directives from the Attorney General's Office.

"We are waiting for requests from the Attorney General's Office. We have prepared a team that will carry out directives as soon as they are issued," the police chief said here on Wednesday.

"Even though we are ready, we are still waiting for directives from the Attorney General's Office that acts as the executor," the police chief noted.

He remarked that the National Police have a trained firing squad. "The National Police already have an executor team that has been trained and prepared under the Jakarta Regional Metro Jaya Police and the Regional Police of Central Java.

The firing squad executor team comprises seven members of Police Mobile Brigade (Brimob).

Earlier, the Attorney General's Office stated there are six death convicts to be executed soon. They are Agus Hadi, Pujo Lestari, Gunawan Santoso, Tan Joni, Namaona Denis, and Marco Archer Cardoso.

In December 2014, the Attorney General's Office had said it will execute two death row convicts at the end of the year.

The two murder convicts will be executed in Nusakambangan Island off Central Java's southern coast, Head of the Legal Information Center of the AGO Tony T Spontana had said.

The death row convicts have been identified as GS and TJ. GS has been convicted of a premeditated murder in North Jakarta while TJ has been convicted of a premeditated murder in Tanjung Balai Karimun in Riau province, he noted.

Spontana had observed that the execution of another four death row convicts, which was originally planned to be held in 2014, has been delayed pending their legal certainty. The four have been convicted of drug-related crimes.

There will be no cancellation of planned executions, he had stressed.

He had also explained that the Attorney General's Office will coordinate with the Supreme Court as the Constitutional Court had received more than two applications for judicial review.

"Of course, we will coordinate with the Supreme Court with regard to two more requests for judicial review," he had said.

Attorney General HM Prasetyo had denied that the executions scheduled for 2014 will be cancelled.

"Nobody has said that. You have misquoted a statement. There will be no cancellation," he had pointed out.

According to Prasetyo, he had discussed the matter with the Supreme Court to reach a solution after the Constitutional Court had ruled that application for a judicial review could be filed more than once.

In 2013, the AGO had executed Suryadi from Palembang, South Sumatra, for killing a family in Pupuk Sriwijaya complex in 1991.

Two others, Jurit and Ibrahim, were also executed for premeditated murder in Sekayu, Musi Banyuasin, South Sumatra, in 2003.

In 2013, the AGO had executed Mohammad Abdul Hafeez from Pakistan and Adami Wilson, alias Adam alias Abu, from Malawi following their convictions for narcotics crimes.

A total of 118 convicts have been executed in the country so far, according to data from the AGO.
