Episode 155 - Deadly Shame - In A Not So...

Grip Tape
About this episode
July 28th, 2019, was the day Menhaz Zaman was supposed to be graduating from Canada’s York University. Instead police were on their way to his parents home for a welfare check.

The call had been made by members of an online community after he’d sent them disturbing photos.

When police arrived, a young man answered the door calmly. But what lay within the home revealed the true chaos that had erupted within his mind.
