In 1996, Singapore’s first serial killer, John Martin Scripps, is hanged for the violent killing of three tourists just a year earlier. His murders took place in Singapore and Thailand. The case came to be infamously known as The Body Parts Murder. 

In the pilot episode of TrueCrime SG, I speak with Mr. Tan Ooi Boon, a reporter who broke the story in the Straits Times.  

TrueCrime SG is hosted by Loretta Lopez
