The Jars Murderer | Lam Kor Wan | 1982 |...

About this episode

From an early age, Lam Kor Wan had endured a tumultuous upbringing. Moving homes across countries, changing schools, receiving physical and verbal punishment from his father, and even committing acts of voyeurism and molestation. 

All this, however, would pale in comparison to his most heinous acts; as he roamed the streets of Hong Kong as a taxi driver looking for his victims, thereafter cementing himself as one of the country's most notorious serial killers. 

Part 1 - We explore the troubled background of Lam Kor Wan, and the events that led up to his first murder.

Part 2 - We follow Lam Kor Wan as he continues his heinous streak, and how it all eventually came to an end.
