Regulation 61

There shall be present at the execution of the death sentence the officer in charge of the military prison and a medical officer of the prison.

There may also be present any minister of religion in attendance at the prison if so requested by the person who is to be executed, and such other persons as the officer in charge of the military prison considers proper to admit.

As soon as the sentence of death has been carried out, a medical officer of the military prison shall examine the body of the person executed and ascertain the fact of death and shall sign a certificate to this effect which shall be delivered to the officer in charge.

The certificate referred to in paragraph (3) shall be in Form 11 in the Schedule.

A Coroner shall, within 24 hours after the execution of the death sentence, hold an inquiry under section 277 of the Criminal Procedure Code (Cap. 68).

A copy of the verdict of the Coroner shall be forwarded to the Registrar of the Military Court of Appeal and to the office of the Armed Forces Council.

When a sentence of death is avoided by the escape of a person sentenced to death, execution of such sentence shall be carried into effect at such other time after his re-capture as the President of a subordinate military court shall order.

No execution carried into effect or intended to have been carried into effect under any order or warrant shall be rendered illegal by reason of any omission or error as to time and place of execution, or any defect in form as to such order or warrant, or any omission to comply with these Regulations.
