Patrick Soultana

Farida Nadjiebullovna Zargar (born in 1988 in Kemerovo, Russia) was stabbed several times and then strangled by Soultana on August 5, 2010. Soultana declared to a witness that he intended to rob Zargar, but that he killed her because she started screaming. On November 9, 2010 Soultana threw the bank card and identifier of Zargar through the letterbox of a police station in Spijkenisse. The camera images were later broadcast in Opsporing Verzocht, but Soultana was not recognized. On November 26, 2010, Zargar's bicycle was found in Mallebos and on March 8, 2011 her key ring was also found. After Soultana's arrest, several items belonging to Zargar were found in his bedroom, including her passport, watch and bracelet, with blood traces being on some of them. After Soultana killed his victim, he sawed off her foot and buried it in a pot under his shed, burying Zargar's body in Mallebos afterwards. On November 11, 2011, Zargar's body was found, by pointing from Soultana.

Nanda Kerklaan (born 1966) was found in a ditch at the Malledijk in Spijkenisse in the morning of January 28, 2010. She was badly injured and was barely conscious due to a head wound and severe hypothermia. She was resuscitated on the spot and transported to the hospital. After being examined, she appeared to have multiple cranial fractures, four broken ribs and a collapsed lung. According to a forensics doctor it was due to considerable external violence. On February 2, 2010, Kerklaan died of her injuries, without being able to tell what had happened to her. The police stated to the media that the possible cause was an accident. Soultana, however, confessed to an informant that before the Zargar case, he killed Kerklaan after he had tried to rob her.

Together with a friend, then 21-year-old Timothy S., on March 24, 2011 Soultana robbed a Polish man from Włocławek. In doing so, both men hit the man on the head several times with an iron bar, took his belongings and left him for dead. The man, however, survived the attack. Both perpetrators were convicted of attempted murder. Timothy S. was also a co-suspect in Kerklaan's murder, but was acquitted.

In 2014 suspicion arose that Soultana is also the killer of 50-year-old Joke Lorsé on August 11, 2009. In Simonshaven, the woman was beaten to death with a blunt weapon while walking with her husband. Her husband explained that an unknown man jumped out of the bushes and knocked him unconscious. After he recovered, his wife laid dead beside him. However, the statement was dismissed by the police. The husband Ernst L. was sentenced to 12 years in prison but appealed to 9 years.

Soultana allegedly stated to a police informant that he had killed five women. Besides Zargar, Kerklaan and possibly Lorsé, two more women should be victims of Soultana according to the police.
