The killing field (photo above) where Indonesia eight convicts spent their last moments alive looks like a makeshift parade ground being readied for a school sports carnival or fete.
Sheets of purple tenting material are stretched over a.....
series of four metre high open frames which have been hammered into a patchy stretch of grass in front of a low bank.
The area is known as Limus Buntu which roughly translates as Limus 'deadlocked' or dead end.
Crosses for each of the eight prisoners who were to be executed in the early hours of Wednesday morning are in place and a shirtless man is seen working alongside at least five other people on the site.
'You can also see nine piles of wood that have been installed at the location.The nine piles were laid for nine death row [prisoners] to be executed at midnight tonight,' one witness said.
The photographs of the kill site emerged on the Indonesian news outlet detik.com, which has claimed that the area was a firing range and that Indonesian authorities had arrested people trying to get there.
The photographs reveal the close range - just a few metres apart from each other - in which the condemned drug traffickers found themselves when they were transported to the spot just after midnight on Tuesday, Indonesian time.
