Netflix is adding another true crime series to its library, this time looking at Raja Kolander in Indian Predator: The Diary of a Serial Killer.
The docuseries is set to arrive just seven weeks after a programme on the same theme, Indian Predator: The Butcher of Delhi, directed by Ayesha Sood.
The new three-part series, directed by Dheeraj Jindal and written by Sudeep Nigam, will follow Raja Kolander’s exploits after he was accused of murdering journalist named Dhirendra Singh and 13 others.
He allegedly would eat various parts of his victims’ bodies, including their brains.
