Andrew Chan's neighbours recall a 'good bloke' as tributes build outside childhood home

Childhood neighbours of executed Bali Nine inmate Andrew Chan have remembered him as a kind and courteous young man.

Flowers, candles and a Christian calendar are among the growing tributes outside the home in Enfield, in the city’s west.

Chan and fellow Australian inmate Myuran Sukumaran were executed on Indonesia’s Nusa Kambangan island today, alongside six other prisoners.

Eva Mouawad lives just a few doors down from the Chan family and expressed her heartbreak at his death at the hands of a firing squad.

“It’s tragic, it’s sad,” she told media outside the home.

“It’s really not fair. It makes me sick.”

Ms Mouawad’s son Elias recalled a kind and courteous young man who was always happy to help his neighbours when needed.

“He was a good bloke, we used to play footy in the street,” Elias Mouawad said.

“It does make me angry, it’s sad, very sad.

“Why would you do that? Imagine that was your son.”

Elias’ brother Patrick said Chan was a friendly young man who could be seen doing laps of their street in his car.

“Andrew was a very nice man,” he said.

“It’s very sad for the street that he had to go.

“He [kept] to himself, he comes from a very good family.”

Chan’s father Ken was too ill to travel to Indonesia to farewell his son and was seen greeting a family friend in the street.

"They're all very tired now because they stayed up," the family friend said.

"It's a heartache.

"I think the anger's going to come for a lot of us, it's not here yet. It's just sadness."

Mr Chan was able to say goodbye to his son in February when he travelled Bali to visit Kerobokan jail.

The tributes come as a photo has emerged of Andrew and his bride Feby's wedding, just a day before he was executed.

Chan can be seen placing a ring on his bride's finger as his spiritual counselor, Salvation Army minister David Soper, presides.

Earlier, the Chan and Sukumaran families released a joint statement thanking their supporters.

"In the ten years since they were arrested, they did all they could to make amends, helping many others," the statement read.

"They asked for mercy, but there was none.

"They were immensely grateful for all the support they received.

"We too, will be forever grateful."

Meanwhile, actor John Jarratt has appeared in Sydney’s Martin Place urging a boycott of Indonesia.

Meanwhile, a woman has staged a solo protest outside the Indonesian embassy in Canberra following news of the men’s executions.

With an Australian Federal Police car parked outside the building’s gates nearby, the woman levelled blame for the men’s deaths towards Indonesian leader Joko Widodo.

“Widodo’s a coward, Widodo’s a murderer, Widodo killed our children,” the woman said.

“A strong man would have changed this.”

She held a sign reading “Widodo a coward” and urged others to join her.

The rear of the sign read, “Mr Widodo please help”, seemingly from an earlier protest.

Flowers and protest messages have also been left at the Indonesian consulate in Maroubra, in Sydney’s east, including one simple note that reads, “I pity your heart Joko”.

Members of the Chan and Sukumaran families reportedly became hysterical after they heard shots ring out from the field where the condemned men faced an Indonesian firing squad.

Relatives and friends of the Bali Nine organisers were in a tent near the killing field when the executions were carried out at 12.30am local time (3.30am AEST) on Nusa Kambangan prison island, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.

Some have since posted comments on social media.

Yesterday Sukumaran's mother and sister sobbed and begged President Joko Widodo for clemency.

"Please don't kill my son. Please don't," said the mother, Raji.

Sukuraman's sister, Brintha, was spotted yesterday wailing as she made her way through a crowd of people outside the gates at Cilacap port.
