Ryan had a very uncontrollable temper and an angry disposition. He killed a friend of his and her baby because the mother made him mad. After the authorities arrested him, he sang a song to the police officers. It was then that he got the moniker of the “The Singing Serial Killer.” In addition, he also sang for his fellow inmates, court officers and the media. He sang songs from his upcoming album.
In February 2009, Henyansyah released his book titled The Untold Story of Ryan. In the book, He confessed that he was a male model and a Korean Recital Teacher. He came out of the closet after his teenage years. One of Ryan’s friends came home with him for sex. The man asked to have sex with Ryan’s boyfriend when he saw a picture of him. Ryan was enraged and killed the man on the spot. Ryan’s mother wanted him to get married and asked that he marry a woman. Ryan agreed to the request and in October of 2010, he asked a fellow detainee and a drug dealer to marry him. They met at the police station where they were both arrested. Eny Wijaya was eventually released from custody when Ryan announced that he would be marrying her because that is what his mother had requested.
The fact that Ryan was in prison for murdered when his mother requested, he marry a woman pretty much explains the state of this family’s dynamic, dysfunction to the core.
