Famous Criminals

[jw5]

Cannot forget Adrian Lim, even though it was so long ago. Self professed medium with a wife and a mistress, whom he made use of to lure young kids to his flat, where he would perform his evil acts.

It appears that he was the last of random or serial killers, as famous killers through the years have had specific victims or victims they knew.

Including more recently:
1. Took, in the Huang Na case.

2. the South African who killed the Brit in a hotel and cut up his body and threw into the river.

3. the factory supervisor who killed his China gf and cut up her body and also threw into the river.

4. Anthony Ler who induce a boy to kill his ex wife.

5. One eyed dragon, who shot and killed someone over a dispute, possibly over money.

Any others that you recall or cannot forget?

Six hours, two murders

POLICE had their hands full yesterday with two murders involving foreigners occurring within six hours of each other.

The grisly murders, one in a Henderson flat in the early hours of the morning and another in a Geylang hotel around mid-day, were committed in dramatic fashion.

The earlier case has reached some form of closure, with the prompt arrest of a 36-year-old Chinese national for the fatal stabbing of his close friend, flatmate and colleague. He will be charged in court today with murder.

The suspect in the later case, however, is still on the run. Police are looking for a dark-skinned man, alleged to have killed a young woman and stuffed her naked body under a hotel bed.

Lee Kim Lai (1960-25 April 1978) was a police officer who was murdered on 25 April 1978 for his service revolver by three men.[1] A serving Police National Serviceman, he was performing police sentry duty at the Police Reserve Unit 1 base of the Singapore Police Force at Mount Vernon when he was abducted from the front gate and forced into a taxi. The policeman's body was later found with multiple stab wounds in the abandoned taxi, the driver of which was also killed.

Interesting case bro. Cannot remember it.
Were the killers caught eventually? What were they going to use the gun for?

For the waves he caused which eventually turned into a tsunami hitting all Singapore charitable foundations.

How about Phey Yew Kok. His crime is so "unspeakable" that he cannot be brought to justice.

Did he kill anyone while committing the robberies?

No sure, but in Singapore law, the punishment for armed robberies is the death penalty.

He was also a secret society member.

I think that the death penalty as punishment for armed robberies was a more recent change in the law. Don't think that this was the case in the 1970s.
Can anyone confirm?

Who can be a bigger criminal than despot Lee Kuan Yew who abducted peaceful activists, forced them to sign fake confessions, tortured and beat them with hired merceneries, and imprisoned one man w/o trial for 32 years??? Oh, didn't he make his first daughter-in-law commit suicide too??
