Manila: China has executed a 34-year old Filipina drug mule who was convicted of drug trafficking in 2011, prompting waves of condolences aired on radio and TV to her family in the Philippines.

“It is with profound sadness that we confirm that our Filipina [compatriot] was executed in China this morning,” said Raul Hernandez, spokesman of foreign affairs department.

The woman, whose name has not been released, was allowed to meet briefly with her family members who travelled to Shanghai on July 1, ahead of her execution on July 3, said Vice President Jejomar Binay.

The relatives wanted her body to be cremated, said Binay, adding they also asked for privacy.
