New Zealand's First Serial Killer | Hayden Poulter | 1996 | 2/2

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.

//

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.

FYI we have just started a YouTube channel where you can watch these Heinous stories:https://www.youtube.com/@GrimAsia_1UpMedia

Best of Heinous - The Killer Geisha | Sada Abe | 1936 

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.
