Summary

Adrian Lim's fascination with the occult, and his obsession with power, drove him to transform himself into a black magic "bomoh". He promised his followers whatever they desired, but in exchange he would need from them, everything that he desired...

Lim's depravity quickly escalated; he became increasingly violent, turned his attention to younger and younger victims, revelled in torture, rape and eventually murder.

I'm Sruti, I'm Hannah and welcome to Redhanded. I know a lot of you guys have been asking us to talk about the capital riots

0:22.2

and are we going to talk about Trump and second impeachment, all of that stuff. We know guys, we are on social media

0:28.1

we've seen you asking. We just feel like if we get into it now, we're never going to talk about this case or any case that we've got planned for the next month.

0:35.7

So we have done a full kind of 30 minute episode on it and put it up on Patreon on under the duvet last week.

0:43.6

It is up there. It's there for five dollar patrons and overseas. You can go listen to it if you're like really keen to hear our thoughts on it.

0:50.7

It just feels like so much that we can't bring it into these main episodes right now.

0:55.5

But what we are going to do is keep an eye on what's happening, see how things unfold and then Hannah and I are really keen to

1:02.3

I don't know, look at some sort of episode on QAnon, like a deep dive into all these conspiracy theorists, like where this is going

1:24.3

And also compartmentalisation is important. Yes.

1:27.8

Yeah, we're all living through a generalized harm of anxiety and safe spaces are important.

1:33.6

So we're not going to talk about it for the next hour and a bit because we don't need to think about it for the next hour and a bit.

1:38.6

1:47.4

Masquerading is a geographic. I don't know what it is, but it is absolutely bananas.

Like I'm just going to put this out there as a loud, confident and possibly wrong prediction.

2:03.7

I'm going to guess that not many of you know it.
