Barlow and Chambers execution

The Barlow and Chambers executions were the hangings on 7 July 1986 by Malaysia of two foreign nationals, Kevin John Barlow (Australian and British) and Brian Geoffrey Shergold Chambers (Australian) of Perth, Western Australia, for transporting 141.9 g (5.01 oz) of heroin. The two men became the first Westerners to be executed under Malaysia's new tougher laws for drug offences.
