Inside the Abandoned Home of Malaysia’s Most Infamous Witch Murderer
After Mona Fandey’s arrest in 1993 for the gruesome murder of politician Mazlan Idris, public curiosity didn’t stop at the courtroom. One of the most haunting questions still asked today is: what happened to Mona Fandey’s house — the place where it all unfolded?
Where Was Mona Fandey’s House Located?
Mona and her husband, Affandi Abdul Rahman, lived in Shah Alam, Selangor, but the infamous murder took place at a house in Pahang, allegedly used for “rituals.” While the precise address was never made public for safety and privacy reasons, the property was located in a remote area near Raub, Pahang, surrounded by dense jungle.
The House Where the Murder Happened
According to court testimony, the murder was carried out in a spare room outfitted for a ritual cleansing ceremony. After Mazlan was killed and dismembered, his body was buried behind the house in a pit covered with cement, which investigators later uncovered.
Reports from neighbors and local police say the house was never reoccupied after the crime. It was sealed off during the investigation, and due to the extreme nature of the case, the property was reportedly abandoned.
Is the House Still Standing?
Over the years, rumors have swirled that the house:
- Was demolished quietly by local authorities,
- Remained standing and became a ghost hunting hotspot, or
- Was reclaimed by the jungle, slowly rotting in silence.
There is no public confirmation of the house’s current status — a deliberate choice, likely to prevent trespassing or morbid tourism. Locals say even in the years following Mona’s execution, no one dared go near the site.
Why the House Still Fascinates People
The house isn’t just a crime scene — it became a symbol of fear, superstition, and unanswered questions. Many believe it was used for black magic rituals long before the murder, and stories of strange noises and ghostly sightings continue to circulate in Malaysian folklore.
