Face to face with Mona Fandey

Notorious: Mona was apparently happy with the publicity she got during her high-profile case and had even thanked reporters ‘for putting in such nice stories and pictures’.

SHE remembered some of our names and faces more than a year after we first met her – at the preliminary inquiry into her sensational murder trial in 1993.

Mona Fandey stood at the back of the police truck which ferried her and stared straight down at us pressmen, who represented every media house in the country, along with the hundreds who turned up to catch a glimpse of her at the court compound.
