| [Straits Times] AN INDONESIAN court sentenced to death a man who confessed to killing 11 people, including his lover whose mutilated body was found in a suitcase. Verry Idam Henyasyah, who has bragged of plans to make a pop album about his crimes, held his head in his hands after the Depok District Court handed down its verdict, then smiled and waved to reporters as he was escorted out. The five-month-long trial revolved around the murder of the 30-year-old's partner, Heri Santoso, whose dismembered body was found in a suitcase in the southern outskirts of the capital, Jakarta, in July. Separate trials will be held for the other killings, which Henyasyah said occurred between 2006 and mid-2008. Those victims were found in shallow graves in the backyard of his parents' house in East Java province. They include a woman and her 3-year-old daughter. 'He's a sadist ... who has never shown remorse for his actions,' presiding judge Suwidya told the court, sentencing the defendant to death for premeditated murder. Henyasyah's lawyer said he would appeal. A group of female admirers have zealously attended many of the baby-faced Henyasyah's court hearings, asking for autographs and requesting him to sing. The former Koran recital teacher, who claims he used to be a model, has said he intended to record a pop album in prison titled 'My Last Performance.' |
