Ahmad Suradji

Indonesian cattle farmer Ahmad Suradji is a serial murderer. He assassinated almost forty women between the late 1980s and early 1990s. Also known as Nasib Kelewang, he performed black magic and worked as a sorcerer.

Girls and women were strangled with cords and buried up to their waists in graves as part of a ritual. The remains of his victims were found near his house on the outskirts of Medan in 1997, after he had been on a murdering spree for 11 years. In 2008, he was convicted of execution by firing squad. Three of his wives were also convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
