Gribaldi

Muhamad Gribaldi Handayani (born 20 July 1966) is an Indonesian serial killer and former police officer who killed seven acquaintances, including a lover and his third wife, in various incidents from 1999 to 2004. He was eventually convicted and sentenced to death for the crimes, but his current status is unknown.

Early life Muhamad Gribaldi Handayani was born on 20 July 1966, in Medan. Born into a family of police officers, he spent his formative years in Dumai before returning to Medan to complete his high school and later college education in administrative law. He had boarded a taxi operated by 44-year-old Rusdi Hutahuruk of Medan, who supposedly began mocking Handayani by claiming that he appeared to be of Chinese descent due to his paler skin tone and facial features. When Hutahuruk stopped by the road to relieve himself, an angered Handayani took out his service pistol and shot him four times. The pair eventually developed a deep bond, with Handayani offering to give her a job as a civil servant in Pekanbaru. Under this pretence, the pair travelled to Bagan Batu on 5 July, where Gusmarni was shot seven times while urinating. The motive for this crime was apparently that she had demanded too much money from him and that she was three months pregnant.

As a majority of the victims had been killed in Riau, prosecutors decided that they would put him on trial there. Due to the overwhelming amount of evidence against him, Handayani was swiftly convicted and sentenced to death. Since his conviction, there have been no reports indicating that his death sentence has been carried out, and it is unknown if he is still alive, but many media reported that he was executed on July 9, 2006
