At 12:41am, on March 8, 2014, Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 takes off from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, seemingly without any issues. The plane was heading to the Beijing Capital International Airport. 40 minutes after takeoff, the flight was flying at a normal cruising altitude of 35,000 feet. The two men in the cockpit check in regularly with air traffic-control and didn’t report anything unusual. Then, all systems onboard seemingly malfunction and communication with the flight is lost. And after missing its scheduled arrival time in Beijing, 4 hours later, Flight 370 and all 239 people onboard are officially declared missing.

This week's episode is a twofer.According to the World Health Organization, one in three women around the world experience physical or sexual violence, mostly by an intimate partner. In Asia, is it one of the deadliest forms of violence— killing more people per year, than armed conflict and wars. Yet, it continues to be among the least reported human rights abuses, and continues to be dramatically overlooked by governments and policymakers.Domestic violence during this pandemic has increased by 20%, so this episode will highlight this growing public health crisis by sharing the stories of two women: Arbe Chan Man-yi, and Lamu.REFERENCES:https://time.com/4668658/violence-women-v-day-domestic-asia-homicide-sexism/https://thediplomat.com/2020/04/chinas-hidden-epidemic-domestic-violence/https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/commentary/coronavirus-covid-19-family-violence-abuse-women-self-isolation-12575026http://factsanddetails.com/china/cat4/sub21/entry-4456.htmlhttps://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1377004/ex-boyfriend-prime-suspect-murder-air-hostess-arbe-chanhttps://grammar.yourdictionary.com/vs/difference-between-murder-and-manslaughter-legal-terms.htmlhttps://www.findlaw.com.au/articles/4296/good-behaviour-bonds-explained.aspxhttps://www.thestar.com.my/news/regional/2018/04/19/hong-kong-man-strangled-exgirlfriend-in-anger-over-her-new-lover-court-hears-in-wardrobe-corpse-triahttps://www.inkl.com/glance/news/i-didn-t-mean-to-kill-her-wardrobe-murder-accused-told-hong-kong-police-after-strangling-girlfriend?section=coronavirushttps://sg.news.yahoo.com/t-her-no-one-court-094116886.htmlhttps://www.thestandard.com.hk/section-news/section/11/194929/Grim-details-of-how-stewardess-was-killedhttps://www.todayonline.com/world/hong-kong-man-found-guilty-murdering-dragonair-flight-attendanthttps://sg.news.yahoo.com/oscar-mok-found-guilty-murdering-090110353.htmlhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/toxic-relationships/201706/the-truth-about-abusers-abuse-and-what-dohttps://au.finance.yahoo.com/news/tiktok-star-30-dies-after-being-set-on-fire-during-live-stream-025925102.html
For decades, curry, has been synonymous with Asian cuisine. The smell of curry is so potent, that it has been used in the past by drug smugglers to disguise their goods. According to the book Murder Most Foul, as recent as September 2012, a smuggler in Birmingham, UK, was caught after attempting to import 68kgs of heroin, worth more than $30 million, by hiding it in a container filled with 600 boxes of curry spices. And a couple years before that, curry was also used to hide something far more sinister... a dismembered body.References:https://medium.com/@xreasons/7-reasons-why-singapores-crime-rate-is-so-low-d695a030426chttps://twitter.com/unsolvedsg/status/1289911300076650496https://books.google.co.in/books?id=VSeJAAAAQBAJ&pg=PA39&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=falsehttps://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/courts-crime/from-the-straits-times-archives-in-the-1984-curry-murder-six-were-chargedhttps://books.google.co.in/books?id=VSeJAAAAQBAJ&pg=PA39&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=falsehttps://www.sammyboy.com/threads/a-recap-of-the-shocking-murder-case-in-s%E2%80%99pore-whereby-the-body-was-cooked-with-curry.223188/https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/infopedia/articles/SIP_596__2008-12-12.html#:~:text=Investigation%20of%20the%20murder,Board%20holiday%20chalets%20in%20Changi.https://goodyfeed.com/a-recap-of-the-shocking-murder-case-in-spore-whereby-the-body-was-cooked-with-curry/
~Supernatural Halloween Special~At the foot of the rolling green Aravali hills lies one of India's most haunted places-- Bhangarh fort. While barely a structure remains fully intact, the skeleton of the once glorious mansions, and winding streets still show the beauty of an age long past. And if you are brave enough to stay back in the city after the sun has set, and the security guards have locked the gates up tight, you might still be able to experience moments of that era—because those who have survived the night, recall sightings of translucent soldiers who are there one second, gone the next, music playing from within seemingly empty walls, and cold feelings of being touched and caressed.References:https://www.oyorooms.com/travel-guide/bhangarh-fort-trip/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhangarh_Forthttps://theculturetrip.com/asia/india/articles/the-story-of-bhangarh-fort-indias-most-notorious-haunted-site/https://www.tripoto.com/rajasthan/trips/bhangarh-fort-storyhttps://blog.thomascook.in/12-things-to-know-about-bhangarh-fort/https://medium.com/@srishtisingh0312/bhangarh-fort-rajasthan-are-ghosts-only-to-blame-for-all-deaths-inside-the-most-haunted-place-of-919094fff078Haunted Places podcast
Between 1986 and the summer of 1991, ten women were killed in the rural village of Hwaseong, South Korea. The crimes, targeting women aged 13 to 71, became notorious for their brutality, and because they were the first known string of murders in the country with a modus Operandi.Just last year, after 32 years, DNA evidence finally linked one man to all 10 unsolved murders and many other crimes, bringing an end to South Korea’s longest running cold case.

On the 31st of December, 2000, while the rest of Japan celebrated and counted down to the New Year, the people in a tiny suburb of Tokyo, were mourning, and filled with hurt, anger, a sense of revenge—all sins that they were meant to leave behind. But they couldn’t. They wouldn’t. Because almost exactly 48 hours earlier, their town was rocked by the discovery of an entire family murdered, in a brutal, bloody scene, that till today, 20 years later, they still don’t have any answers for.

NEPAL: The Nepalese royal family, was at the time, one of the most powerful monarchies in the world. But on a cold summer evening, 22 members of the aristocracy would gather for an informal evening dinner, and in exactly two hours, most of them would be dead, plunging the country into mourning, and spurning political turmoil that would eventually bring down the country’s entire royal dynasty.REFERENCEShttps://www.pri.org/stories/2011-06-01/why-nepals-crown-prince-went-killing-spreehttps://www.nytimes.com/2001/06/05/world/dipendra-29-nepal-s-king-for-2-days-of-suspicion.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4I7E0-c1wchttps://adst.org/2019/07/death-love-and-conspiracy-the-nepalese-royal-massacre-of-2001/https://adst.org/2019/07/death-love-and-conspiracy-the-nepalese-royal-massacre-of-2001/https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2001/06/11/for-nepals-crown-prince-palace-was-also-a-prison/c50c64ea-f451-46fa-b4d5-0629e0fa02b5/https://www.thecampfirecollective.com/blog/topics-in-ethical-hunting/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjXBEhpyAPohttps://adst.org/2019/07/death-love-and-conspiracy-the-nepalese-royal-massacre-of-2001/https://eprints.soas.ac.uk/23601/1/Hutt_royal_palace_massacre_conspiracy_theories_and_nepali_street_literature.pdfhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4I7E0-c1wchttps://www.pri.org/stories/2011-06-01/why-nepals-crown-prince-went-killing-spreehttps://open.spotify.com/episode/2afrJFyelPxTd62238nfmX?si=jRv10vuWSc2xc8XjVl0D9g
INDIA: In 2010, a woman was savagely murdered in her apartment. In less than a week, the police had a suspect in custody and enough evidence to convict him. But, it would take 9 years, and 2 more investigations, before the victim would get any sort of justice.REFERENCESDV Guruprasadhttps://www.oxygen.com/killer-motive/crime-time/top-motives-murder-fbi-morrall-lust-love-greed-hatehttps://indianexpress.com/article/cities/bangalore/bengaluru-techie-murder-9-years-after-crime-gym-trainer-sent-to-life-imprisonment-6107818/https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/071119/payal-surekha-murder-order-by-cbi-special-court-today.htmlhttps://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/bengaluru/2011/jan/20/accused-claims-cops-forced-him-to-confess-220598.htmlhttps://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/071119/payal-surekha-murder-order-by-cbi-special-court-today.htmlhttps://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/techie-murder-sacked-from-job-gym-coach-plotted-revenge-for-weeks/articleshow/71951168.cmshttp://www.face2news.com/news/57603-murder-of-information-technology-professional-payal-surekha-case-life-imprisonment-to-accused.aspxhttps://www.deccanherald.com/content/494739/cbi-files-charge-sheet-payal.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJGDEFkriIchttps://indiankanoon.org/doc/186806925/https://thewire.in/books/police-torture-interrogation-jinee-lokaneeta-excerpt
