The shocking crime of the shaman

The first victim was 9-year-old Agnes Ng. Agnes was last seen by her sister and a friend at the Church of the Resurrection in Toa Payoh at around 4 pm on January 24, 1981. The little girl was waiting for her sister to finish school to go home with her.

Agnes’ body stuffed in a brown travel bag near the stairs was found by a carpenter on the ground floor of Area 11, Toa Payoh Lorong 7, at around 02:20 on January 25, 1981. The girl was drugged and sexually assaulted before being killed.

A week later, a woman named Agnes’ mother threatened her next victim, Agnes’ sister.

The police had difficulty solving the case due to the lack of clues at the location where the body was found. The pressure grew when the second victim, Ghazali Marzuki, 10, was found almost two weeks after Agnes.

Young Ghazali stayed at his grandmother’s house at Block 344, Clementi Avenue 5, on February 6 for the Lunar New Year holiday. While Ghazali was at the playground with his two cousins, a woman approached them, asking for help gathering some items. Ghazali agrees to help and follows him into the taxi. That was the last time the boy was seen alive.

The morning of February 7th, Ghazali’s body was found near a fence in the grass just in front of Area 10, Toa Payoh Lorong 7, with three burns to his back, and stab wounds to his arms. The burns are thought to have been caused by electric shock after death.

Police found traces of blood leading from Ghazali’s body to the elevator in Sector 12 a few meters away. The perpetrator did not realize that the body was bleeding from the nose so the crime was exposed.

The police surrounded the area and searched every house. Blood stains were found between the stairs to the 5th and 6th floors and the stairs leading to the 7th floor. In front of the first house on the 7th floor, they found a man named Adrian Lim, wearing a shirt and trousers, as usual. .go somewhere. Lim lives with his wife Catherine Tan and his mistress Hoe Kah Hong.

Lim’s apartment was very strange, lit with yellow lights, striking the eye as soon as he entered was the altar. Police found religious items in the apartment, with crosses, Hindu and Chinese statues on the altar, some covered in blood. Suspicion is heightened when a drop of blood is found on the kitchen floor.

Lim said he killed chickens in the kitchen during the last Lunar New Year holiday. But later tests showed that this was human blood.

Lim’s pair of sandals, shorts and handkerchief were all covered in blood. A bloody robe was found in Hoe’s bucket. Police also found narcotics and syringes suspected to contain Ghazali’s blood. The boy’s hair was found under rugs and sofas.

The police searched the house thoroughly, finding a bottle of blood in the fridge, and a slip of paper in the phone book with Agnes and Ghazali’s names on it. The girl’s name was published in the media, but Ghazali’s body was only found that morning.

An Area 12 resident said that in the early hours of February 7, he saw Tan coming out of the elevator, carrying a child on his shoulders, Lim also with him. They headed to Areas 10 and 11.

Lim, Tan and Hoe were arrested and charged with murder.

Adrian Lim was born in 1942, dropped out of high school after graduating from high school, worked in various jobs but was always obsessed with the supernatural.

After learning Malay and Thai mantras and amulets, Lim quit his job to become a “medie”. Lim claims to have healing powers. He would speak different languages ​​while on the field, and convince women to sleep with him to clean up the “evil” within.

Doctor Lim said he went to the clinic at least 40 times for hormone injections to improve his sexual abilities.

Lim told police that fortune-telling and healing were just tricks to lure young women into believing that having sex would prolong life.

Lim has two children with his first wife. In 1974, Catherine Tan, a bartender, went to see Lim for treatment on the advice of friends at a nightclub. Since then, Tan has been dominated by Lim. He moved to live in the Lim couple’s apartment, made his first wife unacceptable, took the kids away after a few days.

Tan becomes Lim’s “holy wife”. They officially married in 1977, after Lim divorced. He beat her, persuaded her to work as a prostitute and striptease. He also asks her to convince other women to sleep with him as part of his “treatment”.

Hoe Kah Hong, a factory worker, becomes Lim’s follower and lover after witnessing a “cure” by deception.

When Hoe first met Lim, Hoe was surprised when Lim smeared the egg on his sister’s body and then smashed it to reveal black needles. Lim Khai heats the needles until they are black, while the hot needles penetrate the eggshells easily because the heat softens the shells. Then he used powder to cover the pinhole.

Another time, he covered the faces of Hoe and his sister with a black cloth, dipping their feet in a tub of water to electrocute them to make them more beautiful. Hoes are also given urine to ward off evil spirits.

Lim convinced Hoe that the problem was caused by her husband, Benson Loh, a welder. During a “treatment” session on January 7, 1980, Benson died of an electric shock to Lim’s hands. Lim confessed to killing Benson because his presence prevented him from having sex with Hoe.

At that time, Hoe informed the police that her husband died while turning the electric fan open.

During the trial, Lim revealed that he killed two children in retaliation after being accused of rape by a cosmetics salesman named Lucy Lau – another “holy wife”.

On November 7, 1980, Lucy told the police that Lim had raped her. He couldn’t accept that a woman as popular as himself was accused of rape. He says Lucy is jealous of the other “holy wives” and seeks revenge after she refuses to leave them.

During the subsequent plea trial, Lim said the main reason for injuring the children was to make offerings to the god Kaliammam to get rid of the rape charges and solve other problems.

After 41 days of trial, on May 23, 1983, Lim, Tan and Hoe were sentenced to death. Tan and Hoe appealed, claiming mental illness. Both appeals were rejected. All three were hanged on November 25, 1988.
