Mona Fandey
Nur Maznah binti Ismail (1 January 1956 – 2 November 2001), known professionally as Mona Fandey, was a Malaysian pop singer and murderer. She was executed on 2 November 2001 at the age of 45, after being convicted of the murder of Batu Talam state assemblyman Mazlan Idris in 1993.
Maznah started singing and dancing at a very young age. Adopting her stage name Mona Fandey, she released her debut album titled Diana in 1987, with her husband Mohamad Nor Affandi Abdul Rahman endorsing and funding her career, booking several TV appearances, but her career hardly took off.
Following her failure as a singer, she and Affandi turned to practicing witchcraft, and by becoming a bomoh Mona is said to have attracted high-profile clients, including politicians from UMNO. Malaysian shamans and traditional medicine practitioners, who often claimed to act as intermediaries for supernatural spirits and gods, were traditionally popular with the rich and famous, including local politicians seeking an advantage over their rivals at election times. By providing services to wealthy clients, Mona was able to fund a luxury lifestyle of staying in 5 star hotels and owning several expensive cars (from brands such as Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz and BMW) as well as purchasing several mansions throughout Malaysia.
Mona left behind a daughter from her first marriage named Mazdiana Affandi, with two step-sons from her marriage with Affandi.
In 1993, the couple were approached by Mazlan Idris, a politician who was eyeing the position of the Menteri Besar of Pahang. The couple agreed by promising to give Mazlan a talisman comprising a tongkat and a songkok supposedly owned by Sukarno, the first President of Indonesia, with an offer of RM 2.5 million. In exchange, Mazlan agreed to pay RM500,000 and giving them 10 land titles as guarantee for the remainder.
Mazlan was reported missing on 2 July 1993 after withdrawing almost RM300,000 from various banks in Kuala Lumpur and thereafter meeting Mona at Raub, Pahang. Soon afterwards, Mona was reported to have gone on a shopping spree in Kuala Lumpur where she bought a new Mercedes-Benz and also bought a new cell phone, gold jewelry, sofas, kitchen cabinets, a TV and a video recorder. All items were paid for in cash. On 15 July 1993, Mona checked into Tung Shin Hospital for plastic surgery on her face, forehead and nose.
After arresting the couple's assistant Juraimi Hassan on 13 July 1993 for an unrelated drug consumption offence and questioning him at Dong police station, on 22 July 1993 Mazlan's dismembered and partially skinned body was discovered by the Royal Malaysia Police, buried six feet deep in a pit covered with cement on a property owned by Mazlan in Pahang. His body was dismembered into 18 parts and buried in a hole at the storeroom of an unfinished house. Police also found an altar and statues of deities, as well as knives and an axe at the scene.
On 2 August 1993, Mona Fandey, her husband Mohamad Nor Affandi Abdul Rahman and the couple's assistant Juraimi Hassan were charged with the murder of Mazlan Idris and remanded in custody.
