    The Akihabara Massacre | 2008

    On 8 June 2008, the crossing of Kanda Myojin-dori and Chuo-dori in Akihabara, Tokyo, was bustling with the usual weekend throng of shoppers and tourists. However, chaos would soon break out as a van drove straight into the crowd, before the driver stepped out with a knife; in what would turn out to be one of the most heinous crimes in Japanese history.

    The Orchard Towers Double Murders | 2002 | 2/2

    On 8 Jan 2002, a security guard doing the rounds at Orchard Towers would stumble upon a peculiar sight at the carpark: a silver Daewoo Chairman that had been at the same spot for the past four days. Upon closer inspection, he would pick up on a foul odour emanating from the vehicle, and discover the remnants of one of the most gruesome cases in Singapore.

    Part 1: We are introduced to the key players in this case, Kho Nai Guan, Lan Ya Ming, and Michael McCrea; and how their lives and fates intertwined.

    Part 2: We follow the events of the gruesome murders, and how the perpetrator of this heinous act was finally brought to justice.

Not everyone’s cup of tea

The story telling is great, detailed and well researched. The re-enactments are a bit much. Seems to be intentional in drawing the listener into the mind of the criminals. Could be a slippery slope, indulgent.

Great story telling on cases that we may never know about from Asia without this podcast. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
