The Curry Murder | Singapore Oct 10, 2021

Show notes

In 1987, Singapore police were informed about a grisly murder that took place three years before. According to the informant, three men had killed a caretaker in an Orchard Road church and dismembered his body. They cooked his remains into a curry, then scooped it into black plastic bags and went about disposing of it across town, in various public trash cans. Did this actually happen, or was it all a sick hoax? Or was it perhaps the perfect murder?For pictures and more information, join us on Facebook Want to support our podcast?

Between 1987 and 1996, Dimitris Vakrinos murdered five people and attempted to kill another seven. He killed or attacked anyone who crossed him, no matter who they were. Because of his varied methods of murder and the fact that his victims were all different, police were unaware that a serial killer was active in the ancient city.

154: The Murder of Dr Helen Davidson | England Aug 22, 2021

Show notes

On a gloomy November afternoon in 1966, 49-year-old Dr Helen Davidson, a beloved GP, was bashed to death in Hodgemoor Wood while birdwatching. Her body was found the following day and as soon as news of her murder hit her hometown the rumour mill began to churn. Who would kill the beloved doctor? Did she stumble across something she shouldn’t have seen? Or was the murder personally motivated – what was at play: jealousy, vengeance perhaps? To this day, the case with more suspects than convictions remains unsolved. It is a true murder mystery, a whodunnit that played out rather more like an Agatha Christie mystery than a real-life crime.Sponsor: Trip CBD: To take a TRIP to happy days go to drink-trip.com.
