Trang A Co, 27, was executed by firing squad

Trang A Co, 27, was executed by firing squad at dawn in Vietnam’s northern province of Bac Giang as part of the government's unyielding crackdown on the narcotics trade.
He had been found guilty in November 2004 of trafficking more than 3kg of heroin from neighbouring Laos in the two-month period before his arrest in July 2002.
