Nguyen's fate 'close to hopeless'
"The condemned Aussie's legal team has not given up hope that an unexpected twist might save their client from the gallows."
Sydney Morning Herald
"WITH her son two days from execution in Singapore and her spirit crushed, Kim Nguyen's hair has started to turn white.
"Her anguish painfully clear after repeated requests to the Singapore Government to spare her son from the gallows have been rejected, Ms Nguyen is also noticeably losing weight."
Strain begins to show as execution nears
Australian government did not try hard enough
"According to human rights lawyer Tim Robertson SC, there remains a loophole in Singapore's extradition Act which could allow Van Nguyen to be saved from the gallows. It's part of an ongoing argument that Australia should have plea-bargained for his life as part of negotiations with an accused doubler murderer to Singapore two years ago."

Good to read your comment, Theo. Yes, he was a man all right. I've lived in a few places near to where he lived. Thanks for the ref to Ship Inn, I didn't know that one.
