    Pradyuman Thakur was just seven years old. Barun Thakur, ever the devoted dad, had driven both kids to the gate of their private school. In less than ten minutes, Pradyuman would be dead.
    He had been stabbed twice in the neck before being rushed to the hospital. Allegedly, the school did not tell his parents about Pradyuman's injuries or call the police. By noon the same day, the local police arrested Ashok Kumar - it was reported that the confession was tortured out of him and he was . A month later, the CBI arrested a sixteen-year-old student.

    EP 121: When Lucila Lalu's Butchered Legs were Found in the Garbage - the First Chop-Chop Lady of the Philippines

    On 27th May 1967, Lucila Lalu's butchered legs were found wrapped in newspapers in the trash. Days later, her torso was found in a vacant lot. Who would have wanted to kill the young, successful, mother and entrepreneur?
    Could it have been her common-law husband - the already married policeman Aniano de Vera? Did jealousy push him over the edge after he found out about Lucila's sordid affair with the much younger boy toy Florante Relos?
    Perhaps it was a different lover, or could she have been an unfortunate, unlucky victim of a serial killer...?

The InfatuAsian Pod ,

Teddy is amazing, mysterious, and hilarious

I look forward to listening to Teddy every week. The girl does her research and presents a true crime case with an Asian twist. I love her accent and the banter she brings with her friends. Is true crime supposed to be this fun?

Mon1221 ,

Not good

She really should learn how to pronounce the cities and states properly.

MsGML ,

Everything given away in the first minute.

It’s all spoiled so soon. Was interested in the Abby Choi case, but they said what happened in the first minute. Why bother listening to the rest?
