INDONESIAN EXECUTED FOR 42 MURDERS

Ahmad Suradji, 57, was executed by firing squad in Indonesia, despite the protests of Amnesty International. Suradji was convicted of ritualistically slaying 42 women and girls and burying them in a field next to his house because he thought it would magically give him magical powers.
He lured them to the field and buried them up to the waist, telling them it was part of the ritual. He then strangled them and buried their bodies with the heads pointing toward his house.
Suradji's wife, Tumini, was also sentenced to death for assisting with the murders, but her sentence was later reduced to life in prison."
