Pannir Selvam was arrested at Woodlands Checkpoint, Singapore on September 3, 2014 on suspicion of possessing 1,833.2 grammes of heroin.

The family’s lawyer, N Surendran, said they were informed in the afternoon that the execution would proceed, after earlier being told in the morning that it had been halted.

Datchinamurthy is among four Malaysians facing execution after their most recent appeals were dismissed.
