Heinous – An Asian True Crime Podcast

It's the evening of the 20th of August, 2007. A young girl named Nurin Jazlin Jazimin had gone by herself to a night market near her home in Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur, looking to buy a hairpin. But unfortunately, she does not come back.  Investigations would comb through her family members, school mates, and witnesses at the market that night. Some had seen her for a fleeting moment, while others could only offer their sympathy and support.  But on the 17th of September, nearly a month after Nurin had disappeared, a bag appeared outside a shophouse in Petaling Jaya. Inside was the body of a girl.   Part 1: We explore the events surrounding Nurin's disappearance, and the initial reactions from her family members and her community. Part 2: We follow the investigations following the discovery of the bag, and the trick circumstances surrounding the case as authorities tried to look for Nurin's killer.   Join your fellow Heinous fans and interact with the team at our website or through our socials (IG, TikTok) @heinous_1upmedia. - Love Heinous?

In August 1975, Typhoon Nina unleashed relentless rain across central China. Then, the unthinkable happened. The Banqiao Dam gave way. A massive wall of water tore through the communities below, sweeping away homes, villages and lives. But Banqiao was only the beginning. As dams downstream began to fail, the disaster spiralled into one of the deadliest flood catastrophes in modern history. Yet years before the catastrophe, concerns had already been raised about the region's dams and their ability to safely handle extreme flooding. Warnings were issued, recommendations were made, but not all were acted upon. So when the rain began to fall, was Banqiao simply overwhelmed by an extraordinary natural disaster? Or had decisions made years earlier left the region dangerously vulnerable? This is the story of the Banqiao Dam disaster — and the flood that swallowed a region.   Join your fellow Heinous fans and interact with the team at our website or through our socials (IG, TikTok) @heinous_1upmedia. - Love Heinous?

In October 2006, a 28-year-old Mongolian woman vanished without a trace in Malaysia. It took weeks and persistent questioning before investigators would make a horrifying discovery in a secluded forest; fragments of her remains, scattered after her body had apparently been blown apart with explosives. Her name was Altantuya Shaariibuu, and her murder would unravel a scandal that reached the highest levels of Malaysian politics. As investigators dug deeper, two elite police commandos were implicated in her killing, while connections to powerful political figures raised troubling questions about who might have wanted her dead. But nearly two decades later, despite convictions and years of courtroom battles, one question continues to haunt the case: Who really wanted Altantuya silenced, and why?   Part 1: We trace the shocking events as it happened, following Altantuya as she landed in Malaysia, and how she came to meet her tragic demise.   Part 2: We follow the fallout from the court hearings and the controversy that soon followed, detailing the lengthy court battle that still failed to answer the most important question: why?   Join your fellow Heinous fans and interact with the team at our website or through our socials (IG, TikTok) @heinous_1upmedia. - Love Heinous?
