    The Purge at the Water’s Edge - The Sook Ching Massacre | Heinous History | 1942

    It was February of 1942. Singapore has just fallen to the Japanese. 

    But for its residents, the surrender wasn't the end of the terror, it was the beginning of something far worse. Within days, the Japanese Imperial Army rounded men up at screening centres set up across the island. Some were released, while others were loaded onto trucks. The trucks drove to Changi Beach, to Punggol, to Sentosa. And they never returned.

    This is the story of the horrific period in Singapore's past known as Sook Ching; who gave the order, who carried it out, and why the full truth has never quite been allowed to surface.

    The Imperfect Perfect World | Menhaz Zaman | 2019 | 2/2

    It's a Sunday morning in July 2019 on a quiet street in Markham, Ontario. The kind of neighbourhood where nothing ever happens.

    Somewhere across the world, in an online gaming community, messages are coming in. Photographs. A confession. Players are staring at their screens, unsure if what they're reading is real, or just another disturbing joke from the guy they know as an online troll.

    But unfortunately, this wouldn't end up being just another joke. Because shortly after, four people would end up dead. A grandmother. A mother. A father. A sister. And the man who killed them is still inside the same house where he murdered them all.

    Menhaz Zaman had spent years building a lie; a carefully constructed fiction about university degrees, engineering careers, and a future that never existed. And when that lie was finally about to unravel, he made a choice that no one who knew him saw coming.

     

    Part 1 - We look into the background of the Zaman family, as well as the how the brutal family murders were carried out by Menhaz.

     

    Part 2 - We dig into the chilling evidence uncovered by investigators as they try to make sense of this senseless crime. Online messages, warning posts, gruesome images, all signs indicating that trouble had been brewing for a lot longer than anyone had expected.

    Hey Heinous fans, thank you for your listenership and support through our latest season of Heinous.

    The team is taking a break to retool and recharge so that we can come back with even more new heinous cases. But in the meantime, we will be releasing full versions of some our most popular stories to tide you over.

    //

    From an early age, Lam Kor Wan had endured a tumultuous upbringing. Moving homes across countries, changing schools, receiving physical and verbal punishment from his father, and even committing acts of voyeurism and molestation. 

    All this, however, would pale in comparison to his most heinous acts; as he roamed the streets of Hong Kong as a taxi driver looking for his victims, thereafter cementing himself as one of the country's most notorious serial killers. 

    Part 1 - We explore the troubled background of Lam Kor Wan, and the events that led up to his first murder.

    Part 2 - We follow Lam Kor Wan as he continues his heinous streak, and how it all eventually came to an end.

    The Puppet Master of Kitakyushu | Futoshi Matsunaga | 1996

    In March of 2002, a seventeen year old girl bursts into a police station in Kitakyushu, Japan, to make a startling report. She tells the authorities about a man, an apartment, and about the people who were brought inside but never made it out alive. She tells them that the dead were dismembered and boiled and disposed of so thoroughly that nothing remained. She tells them that the man who orchestrated all of it did not do the killing himself but coerced others do it. 

    She tells them she is the only one left who can say any of this, because everyone else is dead.
