BEIJING, Feb. 28 (Xinhuanet) -- Myanmar drug lord Naw Kham and three of his accomplices, convicted for the murder of 13 Chinese sailors on the Mekong River in 2011, will be executed on March 1st.

The Kunming Intermediate People’s Court said on Wednesday the four will be executed by lethal injection in the city of Kunming, in southwest China’s Yunnan Province. The court has arranged for the consulates of Thailand and Myanmar in Kunming, as well as the convicts’ relatives, to meet with the convicts.

Naw Kham and his gang members were found to have masterminded and colluded with Thai soldiers in an attack on two Chinese cargo ships, in October 2011. Nicknamed "the Godfather," Naw Kham was the boss of the largest armed drug trafficking gang on the Mekong River, which flows through China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.
