The year was 1993 and witchcraft was on every Malaysian's lips, Maznah Ismail (1956 - 2 November 2001), better known as Mona Fandey has struck a new time low with her new found infamy over the death of Mazlan Idris, a state assemblyman for the constituency of Batu Talam in the state of Pahang.
There was a moment in time far back in the late 1980's, Mona Fandey was a household name with numerous hit songs during the phase in her life she was a successful Malaysian pop singer that were both sensible to the public and also endearing as a public moral campaign.

However, as time goes by and her fame begins to falter, Mona rediscovers herself entranced by witchcraft and the supernaturals. The then pop star was now a practitioner of the black arts. The transition was not quite acceptable by her fans and family, but the ordeal was not fully despised. The outcome of her new career was an encounter with immense fear and shock to the entire general public, the path she took was the path to her own hubris.
On Jul 22 1993, after he had gone missing when trying to boost his political career with the aid of Mona and associates, Datuk Mazlan Idris was found chopped 18 parts and buried in a store room in Mona's house in Pahang. On the day of his disappearance, it is reported he withdrawn RM 300,000 from a bank. Basing on the official news report, it is said that Mona and co had demanded RM 2.5 million. Mazlan paid the couple RM 500,000 as deposit, and gave them 10 land titles as surety for the remaining RM 2 million. What is also known about this case is the involvement of black magic rituals for a supposed "invincibility" talisman for Datuk Mazlan to obtain major support for political gain.

The paper trail that led to the capture of Mona Fandey was due to her, again, own hubris when she decided to go shopping spree where she bought a Mercedes-Benz and had a facelift. This eventually sparked a full on investigation onto the infamous bomoh for the upperclassmen. What was discover throughout the investigation was the hideous nature of a former pop singer to achieve stardom again. She insisted the murder was an accident that was caused by Datuk Mazlan's incompetence to stay in the ritual taboo, and so to dispose the body and cover the accident, she, her husband Mohd Affandi Abdul Rahman and their assistant Juraimi Hassan decided to cconduct the gruesome deed of dismembering the state assemblyman to 18 parts and bury him.
The trial of Mona Fandey and co received international and national fame, polarized stance led to Anti-death penalty movements including Amnesty International voiced their opposition to the execution of the trio. The verdict was done, the trio is hanged. What was found curious about the pre-dawn execution of the trio, Mona and her assistant Juraimi were calm and collected, not a single shred of remorse was reflected on their face. Truly stone cold. The trial and case of Mona and co not only led a fear about the practice of black magic amongst the top society, it actually spawn numerous tv and film adaption. It also led to the state of morality between murder and fame, similar to the life of Mona Fandey.
Mona Fandey, from famed and morally correct pop singer, dies a notorious murderess in the bounds of black magic. When the star falls, the burn.
