  • Summary

  • Crimes of passion, revenge or just unfortunate accidents? Some of have gone unsolved for years, while others saw swift justice.

    I’m Loretta Lopez and in TrueCrime SG, I’ll be speaking with reporters from the Crime desks of The Straits Times and The New Paper. They were the ones on the ground, following the cases. Some of these were bizarre, but most times heartbreaking.

    What did they see? How did they feel? Why do these cases still bother them?
