House defends decision to keep black magic illegal

Jakarta: In what could be seen as a promotional line, a man claiming to be “Ki Barong”, Ki is Javanese and usually refers to a man possessing power, wrote on his Facebook wall that he “is the mightiest of all dukun santet (black magic shamans).”

Ki Barong said in his post that he could cast deadly santet spells, so baneful that no victims could be cured by any means.
