Singapore executed a Malaysian man convicted of drug trafficking on Wednesday despite appeals on the grounds he had an intellectual disability, his family said.
Nagaenthran Dharmalingam, 34, had been on death row for more than a decade for trafficking 44 grams (1.5 oz) of heroin into Singapore, which has some of the world's toughest narcotics laws.
His lawyers had filed multiple appeals against his execution saying he was intellectually disabled.
