Suspect "Ryan"
Not long after executing one serial killer, Indonesia is reeling from the news of revelations of another macabre series of deaths, reputed to have been carried out by a Koranic teacher.
Very Idham Henryansah ("Ryan"), 33, has apparently admitted to slaying one man and cutting up his body, and a total of 10 other bodies have been found in ricefields close to his parents's house in a rural area of Java.
The investigation that began in Jakarta, has thrown up another view of the religious teacher, including nude photos of his male lover. The first murder stemmed from an argument in which another man demanded sex with Ryan's boyfriend, but ended up being cut into pieces.
Ryan used the man's ATM card to withdraw 6 million rupiah, which led the police to him. He then confessed to killing four other men, plus a whole family from his hometown, and burying the bodies in ricefields next to his parents home.
The whole affair has become both a national scandal and an embarrasment to Indonesian authorities. TV sceens are filled with grisly footage of decaying bodies being exhumed, as questions are being asked as to why no-one in a rural community seemed to be aware of the mutilated bodies lying in their fields.
