Hadj Mohammed Mesfewi
Plamen1402: Created by translating the page "Hadj Mohammed Mesfewi"
'''Hadj Mohammed Mesfewi '''(died June 13, 1906), called the "[[Marrakesh]] Arch-Killer", was a [[Morocco|Moroccan]] [[serial killer]] who murdered and executed at least 36 women.
== Murders and execution ==
Mesfewi worked as a shoemaker and trader. Supported by a 70-year old woman named Rahali, he invited women to eat, drugged them, and killed them in their sleep.
26 corpses mutilated with a dagger were found buried under his shop, while the other ten could be discovered under another property he owned. He robbed victims to enrich himself.
His execution on May 2, 1906, was supposed to be done by crucifixion, but since foreign diplomats considered this method too brutal, Mesfewi was walled on June 11, 1906, in Marrakesh, and died two days later.
