Hadj Mohammed Mesfewi was a Moroccan serial killer who was found to have killed at least 36 women. He was a cobbler and public letter writer. The bodies of 26 women were found under his shop and an additional ten were found buried on property owned by Mesfewi. He was aided by a 70-year-old female accomplice named Rahali, also reported as Annah, during the course of the murders. They would lure young women to dinner, administer a narcotic, and then murder them in their sleep. The victims were then robbed of any valuables they possessed and subsequently buried. They were also mutilated with a dagger.
