On 6th June 1994, two men decided to get ready for an interview at one of the most famous hotels in the city of Singapore. What was supposed to be a normal walk-in interview turned into a horrific crime as the two men decided to rob guests in their hotel room, which quickly turned into a murder crime scene. 

What ensued was a lengthy search for the culprits. Despite the presence of multiple pieces of evidence, including sketches and media coverage through newspaper articles, the case remained stagnant for a gruelling 18-month period, with no significant progress made in identifying the perpetrators.

A significant breakthrough occurred when the police noticed an unrelated car robbery. However, these were not your typical robbers. One of them had left a disturbing and distinctive mark—a bloody handprint—as their signature inside the hotel room where they committed the terrible crime of taking a guest's life. 

Listen to the episode of The Oriental Hotel Murder as we dive deeper into the evidence and understand the events that turned a simple robbery into one of the most talked about murder cases in the country of Singapore.
