Police on Monday lifted five more bodies from holes in the backyard of a serial killer`s house after recovering four others from the same area in Maijo hamlet, Jatiwates village, Jombang district, East Java last week.
Verry Idham Henryansyah alias Ryan (34) who sparked public horror last week after he was arrested for mutilating a friend, butchering four others and burying them in two holes in the backyard of his home, admitted on Sunday he had battered to death five more people who had previously been reported missing by their families.
The chief of the Jombang Police Resort, Adjunct Senior Commissioner M Khosim, said Sunday, Ryan had admitted that the five people reported missing by their families were among the victims of his killing sprees.
The five victims whose bodies were found on Monday were identified as Nanik Kristanti (28) and her daughter Silvia Ramadhani (3), residents of Kepuh Permai Housing complex, Peterogan, Jombang; Agustinus Fitri Setyawan (28), a resident of Jalan Dr Soetomo; M Zainul Abidin alias Zaki (27), a resident of Dapur Kejambon, Jombang; and M Aksoni (28), a resident of Slawe village, Tarik sub-district, Sidoarjo district, East Java.
“Ryan has admitted the five were among his victims. He confessed to the murders when he was shown pictures of the five people,” Khosim said.
Until Sunday (July 27), Ryan still refused to reveal the place where he had buried the bodies of the five victims, nor was he prepared to explain the motive of the killings.
But a joint team of the Jakarta and East Java police on Monday successfully dug up and lifted five bodies from the holes where the five victims were suspected to have been buried in the backyard of Ryan`s father`s house in Jatiwates village, Tembelang sub-district, Jombang East Java.
“Based on Ryan`s confession to having murdered the five victims, we are investigating the suspected location and digging it,” director of the Criminal Investigation Department of the East Java Police, Senior Commissioner Rusli Nasution said on Monday.
Two bodies were lifted from a hole beside a septic tank, two from a hole near the house`s kitchen and one in a hole where previous victims were found. It was believed that they were the bodies of Nanik Kristanti and her daughter Silvia Ramadhani, Agustinus Fitri Setyawan, M Zainul Abidin alias Zaki M Aksoni.
Previously, on July 22, 2008, police found four bodies buried in two holes in the backyard of Ryan`s father`s house in Jatiwates village, Tembelang sub-district, Jombang district, Eat Java. Ryan had also admitted to murdering the four.
