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.

On the morning of 16 June, 2005, a cleaner was making his usual rounds along the banks of the Kallang River in Singapore when he spotted something odd in the water. At first, he dismissed it as just another piece of thrash, but when he picked it up, a severed torso fell out, leaving him in complete shock. 

Part 1 - We follow the police investigation as they look into the grisly findings along the Kallang River, and its connections to a Chinese migrant named Liu Hong Mei, and her illicit lover Leong Siew Chor. 

Part 2 - We dive deeper into the motive for the gruesome murder, and relay the events as they happened on that fateful June day in 2005.
