In the early 1980s, the murders of two young children, Agnes Ng Siew Heok and Ghazali bin Marzuki, led to investigations that resulted in the capture of one of Singapore’s most notorious murderers: Adrian Lim, his wife Catherine Tan Mui Choo, and his mistress Hoe Kah Hong. The trial turned out to be the second-longest murder trial in Singapore at the time, lasting for about two months, during which disturbing accounts of rites and rituals were unveiled. The trio were ultimately sentenced to death and were hanged on 25 November 1988.
