October 25, 2008 Saturday – Double killings at University. Leong and Vin were both found dead by Sam at level 8 while putting up decorations for Halloween night. They were both tragically murdered. “Is definitely not my day to have heart attack twice!” said Sam.
It was suspected that Leong was on his way to level 8 at around 18:13 hour to pass Vin more deco materials when the assaulter stabbed him on the chest at the elevator. His body was left lying on the floor of level 8 between the elevators obstructing the elevator doors from closing. It was a clean stab to the heart that delivered nothing but death. Nonetheless, subsequent stabs to the chest indicated nothing more but “stabs of frustration” or “stabs of enjoyment” analyzed by one of F.I.T’s top Forensic Psychologists.
Almost concurrently, as Sam found Leong’s body and was trying to call the police department he heard a loud scream by an A level female student, who wished to remain anonymous, at the corridor. “I came out from the toilet, and I saw a figure hurriedly disappear. Next the dead victim caught my eye and I couldn’t help but to scream” Vin, the next victim, was found hanging from the ceiling. The assaulter seemed to have murdered the victim while he was on the chair decorating the ceiling. Evidence from the crime scene indicated that the victim was already dead before being hung up. The assaulter seemed to just vanish into thin air like a phantom as there were no other escape routes other than the elevator since the stairways was temporarily closed for re-paint.
“Right in front of the Department’s office!” reported by a staff of Psychology Department. No doubt, our assaulter must be a professional with careful planning.
Based on the killings, we could assess some profile of our assaulter:
- Should be a male based on the depth of stabbing
- Around medium sized body to lift up a whole body to be hung
- Professional in killing victims, quick and agile
- Knife as weapon brings up the character who releases frustration through killing yet enjoying it
- Knows very well of his targets as well as the layout of the campus
- Keeps to time closely
“He is smart, attentive to details, and knows well of his surroundings. You can run, but you can’t hide.” said Assistant Lieutenant Angelreena Lim.
October 24, 2008 Friday – Another shocking tragedy at HUC. Madeline, a 22 year old Chinese female was gruesomely murdered to death in her white MYVI. She was found dead by the parking attendant around 18:40 hour when he doing his patrolling since the car was the only few left at the parking lot. “I can’t believe what I saw with my own eyes, such violence, and such cruelty”.
Her car was parked at the far end of main block’s car park. It is suspected that the murder took place around noon. According to testimonials by the victim’s friends, she was supposed to attend a replacement class at 13:00. Autopsy confirmed she was caught unaware in her car while listening to some songs. Her head was smashed by the car steering wheel that caused a fracture to the skull. She was stabbed to death on the chest while unconscious. A song list was found at the crime scene indicating the victim was trying to choose selected for the upcoming Halloween Night.
Here are the pictures taken from the crime scene.
F.I.T managed to crack a certain pattern of all the killings that happen so far. A report from Lieutenant Angelreena Lim pointed out the similarities of the cases.
- HUC psychology students
- Young Chinese male and female victims
- The last two happened to be in the Halloween committee
- Grace and Gareth was also found to be a Halloween enthusiasts
- They were all stabbed to death by the assault of a knife
- The same note was left at the crime scene comprising of a particular trademark and tagline.
- The crimes were conducted without leaving any eye-witnesses
Lieutenant Angelreena had spoken to the head of Halloween Committee, Jessica to warn about the possible next victims. It is highly suggested that everyone from HUC psychology department, especially from the Halloween committee to travel in pairs around the premises. It seems that the “GRINCH” of Halloween is on the loose.
October 23, 2008 Thursday – Kai, a psychology student was found dead by (maintenance guy) outside the maintenance office of HUC main campus at around 13:00 hour. He was believed to be stabbed to death on the chest.
According to the (maintenance guy), Kai was suppose to meet him at 13:15 at the maintenance office to send and discuss about the floor plan for the upcoming Halloween Night.
“I seriously could not believe such tragedy is happening right here at HUC. Above all, at my workplace!! I’m beginning to have doubts about coming back here. I have a family to feed, reported by the grieving (maintenance guy).”
F.I.T is doing their best to investigate the case. So far, there seemed to be no witness during the assault. However, it is evident that this homicide is link to the previous two cases as the assault left the same marks at the crime scene.
So, who is the killer? And what is he trying to tell us? Will there be more victims? F.I.T Assistant Lieutenant Angelreena Lim is determining to find out. “There must definitely be a story to all these killings.”
