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

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.

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

The Imperfect Perfect World | Menhaz Zaman | 2019 | 1/2

On the night of July 10, 2001, Sef Gonzales walked into his family home in North Ryde, Sydney, and into a scene that would shock an entire nation. His mother, his father, his sister. All gone. All killed inside the house they called home.

 

In front of the cameras, he wept, he pleaded, and he played the role of a devastated son so convincingly that for a time, the world wept with him. But grief, it turns out, can be performed. And the detectives would soon notice the cracks.

 

Part 1 - We follow investigators as they look closer into the horrific scene on 10th July, as well as the family dynamics that allowed such a tragedy to take place.

 

Part 2 - We look closer at the man at the epicenter of this heinous crime, Sef Gonzales, and uncover a shocking trail that would be impossible to refute.
