The Australian Federal Police (AFP) say they cannot promise no more Australian citizens will face the death penalty as a result of investigations into transnational crime. A-F-P Commissioner Andrew Colvin says he regrets Indonesia's executions of drug smugglers Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran last week.They were arrested in 2005 in Bali for trafficking more than eight kilograms of heroin, with Indonesian police acting on help from the A-F-P. But Commissioner Colvin has defended the decision to inform Indonesia, saying the A-F-P lacked the evidence to arrest the Australians before they left for Indonesia.
