Burmese drug convict executed

A Burmese drug convict was executed on Tuesday, the first in Thailand =
this year.

Hla Win, 60, who was on death row for attempting to smuggle 11.2kg of =
heroin out of Thailand, was shot dead at Bang Khwang maximum security =
prison, Corrections Department officials said yesterday.

He was the second inmate to receive capital punishment for heroin =
trafficking in recent years, they added.

Altogether, 16 prisoners were executed in Thailand in 1999, including =
one woman and Thaung Nyunt, 51, an illegal Burmese immigrant accused of =
killing his Thai wife, her nephew and niece with an axe three years ago.

attempting to smuggle 11.2kg of heroin out of Bangkok Airport to =
Indonesia in 1993.

Hla Win, who denied his guilt and appealed his case to the Supreme =
Court, had allegedly used a Nepalese woman to act as his courier.-dpa
