Dark Asia with Megan looks at the 2001 murder of Annie Leong in Hougang, Singapore, and how her estranged husband Anthony Ler recruited a 15-year-old boy to carry it out.
Before his wife was murdered, he had already practiced crying at her funeral. He even told the teenage boy he recruited to kill her that he would make his grief look real. And when she lay dying, he played the part of a desperate husband trying to save her.
On May 14, 2001, 30-year-old Annie Leong was brutally attacked outside an elevator in Hougang, Singapore. She had gone upstairs to retrieve a pen, leaving her four-year-old daughter with her estranged husband, Anthony Ler. Moments later, she was fighting for her life.
But Annie’s murder was no random attack. Behind the scenes was a disturbing arrangement involving a married couple on the verge of divorce, mounting financial problems and a 15-year-old boy who had come to regard an older man as someone he could trust.
The teenager had repeatedly hesitated. He had even tried to walk away. But what began as a promise of easy money became something far more sinister.
Join Megan as she investigates the murder of Annie Leong, the manipulation behind Anthony Ler’s deadly plan and the chilling evidence that exposed one of Singapore’s most disturbing murder cases.
How does a husband go from planning his wife’s murder to comforting her in her final moments, knowing exactly who put her there?
