Indonesia gears up for executions
Indonesia made ultimate arrangements on Tuesday to kill eight foreigners by firing squad, as crying family members paid final visits to their loved ones and ambulances taking white coffins reached at the drug convicts' prison. Relatives of Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan, the Australian ringleaders of the so-called "Bali Nine" heroin trafficking group, arrived at Nusakambangan jail requesting for mercy for their loved ones, with Sukumaran's sister fainting in sorrow. They are among nine prisoners, involving nationals from Brazil, the Philippines, Nigeria and one Indonesian, experiencing imminent execution.

Researchers separate the DNA of identical twins 
Police have now a way to identify suspects who are identical twins. Scientists at the University of Huddersfield in the United Kingdom have discovered a new way to identify differences in the genetic profiles of identical twins. Now scientists have found a test involving melting DNA that could tell identical twins apart in a matter of hours and reveal who that genetic material came from. The team has determined that heating genes will break hydrogen bonds that form due to a person's environment and habits. The technique however requires a relatively large sample.
