Indonesia executed a man convicted of killing 42 women and girls in a series of ritual slayings he believed would give him magical powers. Ahmad Suradji, 57, was killed by firing squad late on Thursday in western Indonesia despite a last minute appeal by Amnesty International. “He appeared resigned to his fate,” a spokesman for the Attorney-General’s office, Bonaventura Nainggolan, said. “His final wish was to see his wife. We fulfilled this.”
