First of Bali Nine sentences due today

Two members of the Bali Nine are due to be sentenced in Indonesia today.

Australians Renae Lawrence and Scott Rush appear in court in Denpasar, for the first in a series of hearings this week.

Prosecutors want 19-year-old Rush to be jailed for life and Lawrence for 20 years for their part in the failed attempt to smuggle $4 million worth of heroin from Bali to Australia.

The drug mules were caught in April last year with eight kilos of heroin strapped to their bodies.
