I'm Hannah, I'm Sruti and welcome to Redhanded and we need your help. We're asking for things straight away.

We lured you in, we got you, we got you with that great title of a great case we're about to deliver. But before we get to that, friends, you will also get to benefit from this thing we're going to ask you for.

Because basically we are going to do a very special Redhanded. We haven't done one in a while and we're going to do a very special one.

Coming up very soon and for that we need your scariest, scariest stories. They don't even need to be yours. Maybe you know a friend who knows a friend who knows a friend who got haunted because they touched a creepy doll. I don't know. Find the story please send it to us.

But crucially we need audio or video even better that accompanies these cases and that doesn't mean you sending us a voice note of the story. It doesn't mean you sending us a picture of your face which like we love you. You're very beautiful. But that's not what we need.

We basically need ghost evidence in audio and or video form maybe even a photograph something like that. So if you have that please send it into us and we will craft something beautiful out of it there for us all to love together.

Absolutely get our content teeth into so send it please to redhanded patreon at gmail.com. You don't need to be a patreon. It's not going to be patreon only content but that's the best email address so that we can keep things separate and sane.

Exactly. So that's that bit. Let's get on to the next bit which is the show bit. And this is one we have wanted to cover for a while. We actually interviewed Ryan White who made a documentary about this case ages ago in the pandemic times.

But even going through it all again to write this episode I really thought about the news at the time and how wrong all the reporting was and how it was never really correct us. So anyway here we go the assassination of King Jong Nam.

On the 12th of February 2017 city isher was in the hard rock cafe in Kuala Lumpur which is the capital of Malaysia if you have not been to school.

And she was celebrating her birthday. She posted a video of herself blowing out her birthday candles filmed by a friend.

That video was posted on Facebook and it was also the last post that city isher ever made into the zuckerverse.

A few days later city was arrested. The police asked her where she had been on the 13th of February the day after her birthday celebrations.

City told the police the truth. She'd been in Kuala Lumpur Airport with her boss who she knew as Mr. Chang.

And she was making a video for a Japanese YouTube channel. City rang Mr. Chang to confirm her story but his phone number was no longer active.

Then the Malay police told City that she was being arrested for murder. She was dumbfounded. She simply didn't understand how that could possibly be true.

City had been filming a prank with her boss.

Prank comedy is very big in East Asia. There are thousands and thousands of YouTube channels of girls running up to kiss strangers in the street.

People dressed as spiders, scaring old ladies pretending to be sick on the subway. That sort of thing.

Yeah, sort of like slapstick comedy may have had its day in the West but in the east it is very much going strong.

I feel like there was a show here. It was called like Just for Laughs or something. But I think it might have been a lot of European, like continental European.
