While many would like to regard Christmas as a day of family gatherings and celebration, the same cannot be said for a certain segment of Hong Kong. Because on that fateful day nearly 80 years ago in 1941, entire neighbourhoods would be reduced to rubble, civilians would be trapped in burning buildings, and soliders would be slaughtered in tight alleyways; marking 25 December 1941 as Black Christmas, a day that Hong Kong desperately wants to forget.

It was a quiet Saturday morning in July of 2009 when the residents of North Epping in Sydney, Australia woke up to start their weekend. However, the illusion peace soon started to waver as they noticed that the local newsagency was still closed way past 9am, something that had never happened before. Further calls and house visits by concerned neighbours also yielded no reply, which was when relatives and in-laws Kathy and Robert Xie decided to pay a visit, only to uncover a truly brutal scene. Part 1 - We follow the scene as it unfolded on that quiet Saturday morning in July of 2009, laying out the horrific findings made by the Xies and the police. Part 2 - We dig into the investigation by the police surrounding the Lin Family Murders, as well as their complicated relationship with the Xies.

Extremely wicked, shockingly evil and vile are words we've all heard describe Ted Bundy. This episode we discuss Ted Bundy's heinous crimes and the lives of his victims before they were murdered. His killing spree supposedly began in January 1974 and went until February 1978 when he was finally apprehended. We discuss his escapes from jail (yes, escapes plural), his trials (yes, trials plural), and the bitemark evidence that finally put him away. Unfortunately, we don't delve into the "science" of forensic odontology since we covered it in Episode 25, so if you care to learn more about the inaccuracy of bitemark evidence you can go listen to that episode. There is a listener's discretion advised as there are detailed descriptions of assault, sexual assault and some of his victims were children. Even though he was a necrophile, we did not go into that.

In December of 1970, Pakistan held its first ever democratic elections, paving way for a historic result as the East Pakistan-based Awami League, headed by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, won a national majority in parliament. But what was also historic about this moment, was the fact that it lighted the fuse for one of the worst events in recent human memory. Just three months later in March of 1971, Pakistan military would begin Operation Searchlight, raiding upon the East Pakistan capital on Dhaka, and slaughtering thousands of students, teachers, politicians, and opposing military all in one night.

In November of 1996, authorities at the local Irvine, California police station receive a call about a robbery currently taking place. Within minutes, police rush down to the apartment block where the call originated from, but one of the officers spot a blue mustang loitering just outside. On a hunch, this officer approaches the mustang, and a woman rolls down her window to greet the officer calmly, stating that she was Sunny Han. A few moments later, he is called to backup the unit investigating the scene, where he is met with utter confusion. Inside the apartment, he finds a young woman tied up and bruised, looking identical to the lady in the mustang outside. She too, says her name is Sunny Han. Part 1 - We dig into the root of the puzzle behind the identical Sunny Hans, as well as the grim circumstances that led them to this point. Part 2 - We look further into the motives that were left unsaid, and the verdict that would further split an already broken family apart.

From the chaos of war-torn Malaya to the boardrooms of Beijing, Kuok built his empire with patience, precision, and a belief in long-term power over short-term profit.He never raised his voice.

Sixteen-year-old Robert Kuok begins a long walk home. He is angry, disillusioned, but determined to change the world.Episode 2: Sugar RushRice built Kuok Brothers Ltd. But sugar? That's what will make them legends.

But foreign partners try to box him in. In response, he rewrites the rules - mastering policy, strategy, and global trading - until the Kuok name commands respect from London to Kuala Lumpur.Episode 4: The Sugar King To control sugar from source to shelf, Robert ventures into Indonesia and strikes a deal with a powerful, but unpredictable, ally. But as politics sour, he must fight to hold onto the empire he's built before it slips away.Episode 5: Shangri-LaKuok bets on hospitality. The result?

It was a quiet Monday morning in May of 1967 when a garbage collector would stumble upon something that would shock the Philippines. Amidst a pile of trash, rotten food, and broken furniture, were a pair of human legs severed just above the knees. Cleanly cut, pale, and cold to the touch. What was even more shocking was that there had been a similar discovery just days before. Part 1 - We follow the investigation as trace the mystery behind the severed limbs, linking them to the enigmatic figure of Lucila Lalu, and the precarious web of connections that she spun. Part 2 - We hone in on several key suspects in the case, and look into the possible scenarios as to what could have happened to Lucila Lalu.

SoftBank has backed some of the most game-changing startups of our time — Uber, Grab, TikTok — companies that reshaped how we move, eat, and connect.The man behind it is Masayoshi Son — a founder unlike any other.

In September of 1945, World War II officially ended with Japan's surrender, putting an end to countless deaths and years of brutal human combat. But from the ashes of war, whispers would soon emerge about a secret facility deep within Manchuria; whispers about horrific human experiments, chemical testing, and a cold inhumanity far beyond most peoples' imaginations. But what really happened behind the secret doors of Unit 731? And who was the enigmatic figure masterminding it all - General Shiro Ishii?

Pedro Pascal called Harry Potter author JK Rowling a "heinous loser" on Instagram over her position on trans issues. So does this mean he WON'T be in the new Harry Potter reboot? Will Disney take any action against him to mitigate damage against Fantastic Four and The Mandalorian? Probably not.
On the 15th of July, 2009, 30 year old former journalist Teoh Beng Hock walked into the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s Selangor headquarters in Shah Alam, Malaysia. He was there on investigation for suspected misuse of public funds, and was called in as a witness. However, things would take a turn when he didn't return home later that evening, and in fact, CCTV cameras showed that he never left the building. Instead, he would be discovered the next afternoon nine floors below the MACC's office, sprawled on the fifth floor balcony, in a pool of his own blood. Part 1 - We dig into Teoh Beng Hock's profile, his political involvements, and why he was called in to the MACC headquarters on that fateful day. Part 2 - We look into the curious statements put out by the MACC themselves regarding the incident, and the blowback that ensued from the tragic incident.

In the summer of 2005, school teacher Jung Yu-Jin had just come back home from a long at work when he received a disturbing phone call. On the other end of the line was a plea from a desperate mother, calling to report that one of her daughter's friends had been assaulted at school, the very same one that Jung worked at - The Gwangju Inhwa for hearing-impaired students. Enraged, Jung spends the next few days reaching out to his colleagues and superiors at the school, only to be stone-walled at every turn. But what he didn't know, was that behind the silence, he was on the verge of uncovering something far more sinister. **Thank you for tuning in to another successful year of Heinous.

On his first day back in office, Trump has raised a middle finger to our justice system he swore to uphold, and opened the prison cells to release all of the Jan6 insurrectionists, including those charged with the attempted Violent Overthrow of the Government, and those who used weapons and brute force to maim and kill law enforcement. Michael Popok makes the historical comparison between Biden's pardons and Trump's and offers how the Democrats need to use Trump's choice of violent criminal supporters of his over democracy and law and order, against him at the midterms, as his voters wake up to find he did exactly what they did not want him to do and release the Jan6 criminals.
