Four more skeletons found<\/p>\n
MEDAN: Four more skeletons of women allegedly killed by the
\nnotorious shaman, Achmad Suradji, alias Datuk, have been found
\nburied in a sugar plantation in Sei Semayang, North Sumatra, over
\nthe last two days.<\/p>\n
This brings to 20 the number of women's skeletons and bodies
\nbelieved to have been killed by the 45-year-old Datuk.<\/p>\n
Local police officers, assisted by residents, dug up the four
\nskeletons in separate places yesterday and Wednesday. Three of
\nthem were found in one grave Wednesday while the other was found
\nnot far from the first site.<\/p>\n
The state-owned sugar plantation company, PTON II, lent its
\nheavy equipment to make the excavations possible.<\/p>\n
"All the skeletons were sent to the Pirngadi General Hospital
\nfor laboratory examinations. Temporary examinations show all the
\nremains are of women," a police officer said.<\/p>\n

\nthe officer said.<\/p>\n
The shaman has admitted to killing 42 women, of the 70 he
\nplanned to kill for the sake of his "supernatural power".<\/p>\n
Police were alerted to the killer when a man reported to
\npolice that his daughter disappeared after going to the shaman's
\nhouse for treatment.<\/p>\n
Two of the shaman's three wives have also been detained for
\nassisting their husband.<\/p>\n
The Local evening daily, Garuda, reported Thursday that the
