TrueCrime SG Podcast

Crimes of passion, revenge or just unfortunate accidents? Some of have gone unsolved for years, while others saw swift justice. I’m Loretta Lopez and in TrueCrime SG, I’ll be speaking with reporters from the Crime desks of The Straits Times and The New Paper. They were the ones on the ground, following the cases. Some of these were bizarre, but most times heartbreaking. What did they see? How did they feel? Why do these cases still bother them?

The Anthony Ler case
He played the grieving husband at his wife's funeral. He claimed innocence and said that it was all a big joke that went fatally wrong. Anthony Ler had an answer to everything and pointed the finger at anyone he could, to get away with the planned murder of his estranged wife Annie Leong.  This week, I talk with Mr. Melvin Singh, Copy Editor at The Straits Times for his take on the Anthony Ler case.   TrueCrime SG is hosted by Loretta Lopez Credits: Gokelam Ponniah Achary, SPH LibrarySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The McDonald's Boys case
Two 12-year old boys and schoolmates, Toh Hong Huat and Keh Chin Ann went missing on May 14, 1986. This case would turn out to be one of Singapore’s greatest unsolved mysteries. Host Loretta Lopez speaks to Ms Seto Nu Wen, sub-editor with The Straits Times, who embarked on an investigative report 15 years later, that brings her and her colleague, just a little closer to one of the boys' families.     Image credit: Ms Nur Ashiqin Jaffar  Research credit: Ms Gokelam Ponniah AcharySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
