It is 27 April 1997 and a woman is found dead in a sugar cane plantation in North Sumatra.

The discovery of her body will solve years of missing person's cases in the surrounding area and lead to the arrest of Indonesia's most prolific serial killer to date.

In Part 1 of Indonesia's Worst Serial Killer, we look at serial killings through the ages, what makes a serial killer, and why serial killings are on the decline.
