“In 1906, Mohammed Mesfewi, a Moroccan serial killer was sentenced to be walled up alive after he was found guilty of murdering 36 women.

Mesfewi worked as a shoemaker and trader in Marrakesh. Assisted by a 70-year-old woman named Annah, Mesfewi would kill young women who came to his shop to dictate letters.

He would use drugs to incapacitate his victims before decapitating them with a dagger.

Moroccan authorities found the remains of 20 mutilated bodies in a deep pit under his shop, another 16 were discovered in the garden outside.

He was caught after the parents of one young victim traced her movements back to his shop. Annah died under torture and Mesfewi confessed that he killed them for their money; often the sums were very small.

After being convicted, Mesfewi was initially sentenced to be crucified on May 2, 1906. Due to international outcry, the sentence was changed to beheading.

However, public sentiment in Marrakesh was for him to suffer so every day he was led from his cell, into the market square, and lashed ten times with a rod made from thorny acacia, for four weeks.

It was finally decided because of the heinous nature of his crimes and as a warning for all, Mesfewi would be walled up alive in the Marrakesh marketplace bazaar on June 11, 1906.

The cell was about 2 ft (0.61 m) deep and wide and about 6 ft (1.8 m) high.

On the day his sentence was carried out, Mesfewi screamed for mercy and fought with his jailers when he was led to the cell.

After his entombment, the crowd would be silent, but then cheer every time they heard him scream inside.

Mesfewi could be heard for two days before falling silent on the third day.”

If he really did it good but I don’t have a lot of faith in people back then doing a thorough investigation :patrice: you torture somebody long enough they will admit to anything just to get it to stop in that moment. They say they found bodies but “they” say a lot of shyt especially when a lynch mob gets that blood thirst:yeshrug: I can’t find a whole lot of info on this, just the same story repeated almost word for word on different sites.
