Very Idham Henyansyah (born 1 February 1978), also known as Ryan, is an Indonesian convicted serial killer.[1] Very confessed to killing 11 people and was sentenced to death by the Indonesia criminal court. Very is awaiting execution at Kesambi Penitentiary in Cirebon. He was arrested in 2008.[1]

This case achieved notoriety throughout Indonesia due to the gruesome nature of the murders. The body of one of the victims was found at a roadside in Jakarta cut up into seven pieces[2] and was skewered with a crowbar.[1] Very buried his other victims' bodies in the backyard of his home in Jombang Regency in East Java.[3]

After his arrest, he became known as the "singing serial killer" after entertaining the court officers, fellow inmates and media audience in his jail cell by singing a song from his upcoming album.[2][4]

In February 2009, Very released an autobiography titled The Untold Story of Ryan. In the autobiography, Very indicated that he was formerly a Qur'an recital teacher and later became a male model.[2]

Very is openly homosexual and he confessed that most of his victims were also homosexual men. Very admitted to killing one of his victims after the victim offered him money and a car to have sex with his boyfriend.[2] However, in October 2010, he announced that he was planning to marry a female convicted drug dealer, Eny Wijaya, whom he had met in 2008 when they were both detained at the Jakarta Police Narcotics Detention Center. Eny Wijaya was released from Pondok Bambu Penitentiary around September 2010. One of his reasons for marrying Eny Wijaya despite his being homosexual is to fulfill his mother's wish that he be married to a woman.[1]
