Chilling images reveal final hours of Bali Nine pair

Chilling new images reveal just how close the Bali Nine ringleaders are to facing the firing squad.

The shocking images include a mortician stenciling the names of the pair and date -29th of April- on to wooden crosses.

The deaths are expected to take place at the stroke of midnight.

Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan will make the most of their final days with loved ones as Jakarta firms its plans to execute the Bali Nine pair.

After visiting the men, whose execution looks set for Tuesday, their brothers begged the only man with the power to save them, Indonesia's President Joko Widodo, to consider it again.

Chinthu Sukumaran said his brother had made peace with the situation, "but he and we all feel that this is a grave injustice and it did not have to be this way and it still doesn't have to be this way", he told reporters.

"We ask the president to please use his powers to intervene and save their lives."

Michael Chan said mercy must be part of Indonesia's legal system and implored the president for his mercy.

"He's the only one that can stop it and it's not too late to do so," he said.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott is due to meet French leader Francios Hollande on Monday, having pledged to work together to stop the executions, while UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon has added his voice to global calls to halt the execution plans.

But Mr Joko appears to have closed his ears to calls for mercy from the families and the world.

Before leaving for a summit in Malaysia on Sunday, the president known as Jokowi told reporters: "I've already talked several times about it, I don't want to talk about it again," news website Rappler reported.

Sukumaran's mother Raji and sister Brintha also visited on Sunday, making the sad journey with Chan's mother Helen, brother Michael and fiancee Feby Herewila and other friends.

The brothers also revealed the pair's final wishes - Sukumaran's to be allowed to paint for as long as possible, and Chan to attend a church service with his family.

Lawyer Julian McMahon took a fourth, more disturbing self portrait from Sukumaran's cell on Sunday, depicting the artist shot through the heart.

The legal team has lodged a challenge with the constitutional court but the attorney-general hasn't acknowledge it, arguing the pair have exhausted their appeals.

His office is yet to respond to moves by lawyers for Filipina Mary Jane Veloso, who filed a second request for a judicial review late on Friday.

Indonesian Zainal Abidin's appeal is expected to be rejected on Monday, as he's already been moved in readiness for his execution.

And lawyers for Rodrigo Gularte plan to file another appeal on Monday, with documentation of his long-standing mental illness.

Jakarta should make clear on Monday the situation that unfolded over the weekend that has only nine of the 10 prisoners Indonesia had readied for execution expected to face the firing squad.

Frenchman Serge Atlaoui apparently won a reprieve based on an administrative matter.
