The Torture Bunker | Leonard Lake and Ch...

Mediacorp
About this episode

In 1985, what seemed on the surface to be a routine call for petty theft soon escalated into something unimaginable. Authorities arrived on the scene and began questioning the suspect, only to find that his face didn't match the picture on the ID provided, the car's registration showed that it belonged to someone else, and more disturbingly, the suspect had a pistol with an illegal silencer in the trunk of his car. Things would only get more confusing as the suspected admitted to living under false names, and mentioned several others as well. But before the police could pry any deeper, he had swallowed a cyanide pill and died in the hospital days later.

Part 1 - We trace the background of the suspect, revealed as Leonard Lake, as well as that of his mysterious partner, Charles Ng.

Part 2 - We pick up from the heinous crimes that the duo have embarked upon within their bunker, and the disturbing details that would be uncovered from its depths.
