  • Mr Cruel 6 - The Murder of Karmein 1

    Mr Cruel 6 - The Murder of Karmein 1
    Jul 16 2024

    This is the first in a series of podcasts about the enduring mystery that is the unsolved abduction and murder of Karmein Chan in 1991.

    In this series, Eamonn from Melbourne Marvels and Jay from Whoismrcruel.com will discuss the fallout from this event by analysing contemporary media reports on it in the hope that it may give us a different perspective on the Mr Cruel mythos.

    In episode 1 of this series, Eamonn and Jay dissect the very first media conference Victoria Police held on the crime, the day after she was abducted and also what was reported in The Age and the Herald-Sun on 14-15 April 1991.

    As part of this discussion, Eamonn Jay discuss the ramifications of Victoria Police providing a 5 year old photograph of Karmein to the media, the fact that the media began to incorrectly report that all Mr Cruel attacks had occurred on school holidays as well as other items of interest.
