Six other convicts with death penalty are still at large, and five are to be executed this year, Tony added.
Tony said the attorney general office has executed 27 convicts with death penalty in the past 15 years since 2000.
He cited Suryadi from Palembang, convicted for the murder of the whole members a family in South Sumatra in 1991 was already executed in 201S.
Among the foreign convicts with death penalty already executed included drug dealers Mohammad Abdul Hafeez of Pakistan and Adami Wilson alias Adam alias Abu from Malawi.
Tony said the five convicts to be this year had gone through all available ways to seek clemency but failed.
Earlier the Coordinating Minister for Political Affairs, Security and Law Tedjo Edhy Purdijatno said execution of the five convicts is awaiting a letter from the Attorney General.
Appeal for clemency by the five convicts has been rejected by the president, therefore, their verdict has been final, Tedjo said after a meeting with President Joko Widodo Thursday morning.
"The execution is not ordered by the president, but the president has passed order that the legal process must be properly carried out. That is in line with the government commitment in law enforcement," he said. (*)
