Ahmad Suradji

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ahmad Suradji ( 1949 - July 10, 2008 ), also known as Nasib Kelewang or Datuk Maringgi , was an Indonesian serial killer who murdered and executed at least 42 women and girls between 1986 and 1997. To this day he is considered to be the worst serial killer in Indonesia .

Ahmad Suradji was a rancher and popular faith healer who lived with his three wives on the outskirts of Medan . After the number of missing persons he received, the police appeared and searched his property on May 2, 1997. A body was eventually discovered in a nearby sugar cane field , which led to his arrest. A total of 42 female corpses between the ages of eleven and thirty who he had murdered over a period of eleven years were discovered around his house. Many of the victims were prostitutes .

During his interrogation, he testified that his late father had in a dream ordered him to kill 70 women and drink their saliva. He confessed to leading the women into the sugar cane plantations, where he buried them up to their lower bodies (as an alleged part of the ritual) and then strangled the defenseless victims with an electric cable. Then he stripped the corpses, drank their saliva and buried the bodies of the dead so that the heads pointed towards his house, as this gave him "additional energy".

Suradji was sentenced to death on April 27, 1998 for 42 murders and executed on July 10, 2008 by firing squad . One of his wives was sentenced to life imprisonment as an accomplice .
