Indonesia shaman accused of killing at least 12 people

Indonesia police have arrested a village shaman accused of killing at least 12 people after several bodies were found buried in the man's garden.

Slamet Tohari, 45, admitted to police that dozens of victims were interred on his land.

He has been charged with the premediated murder of clients at his home in Banjarnegara in Central Java.

Police said he promised to magically multiply money and when clients wanted their cash back, he poisoned them.

He was arrested this week after the son of his most recent alleged victim told police Tohari's home had been his father's last known location.

Paryanto's family had been unable to contact him since 24 March.

He told his son his location via a WhatsApp message and asked him to notify the police if he did not return by 26 March. A police report was made the following day.
