Synopsis: A 6-part series by The Straits Times in Singapore, exploring recent real crimes that gripped, horrified and laid bare the issues that afflicted societies in Asia. Episodes drop every fourth Tuesday of the month from April 25, 2023.
From April till September 2023, listen to the events surrounding a spine-chilling find in a Bangkok temple. Or the gruesome death of a domestic helper in Singapore.
But for the first episode dropping on April 25, you will discover a 21st-century crime that could well happen in more countries in an increasingly interconnected world. This was the insidious cybersex underbelly in South Korean society that trapped girls in a digital prison in 2019.
We at The Straits Times, investigate how these tragedies left their mark on victims and communities, and also exposed the dark side of societies.
Listen to MoneyFM’s Hongbin Jeong as she chats with Ernest Luis, Podcast Editor of The Straits Times, Tan Tam Mei, Executive Producer for True Crimes of Asia, and Chang May Choon, The Straits Times South Korea Correspondent, to talk more about the series.
