In her younger days the charismatic Mona Fandey had been a pop singer and dancer. But it’s as a headline-making witch doctor and killer that she is most widely remembered.

Read this issue’s International Casebook Of Women Executed For Their Crimes – “Mona Hanged For Witchcraft Murder” for the full, shocking story.
