This is the story of the man who created India’s first crime show: every week he was on television screens around the nation narrating the exploits of the most devious criminals of the time, until January 10, 2000, when he found himself at the center of a criminal investigation. The difference was, he was no longer researching or hosting this case, but instead living it – in the eyes of the police, the man that covers murder for a living, had just covered up the murder of his own wife. This is the story of how the host of India’s Most Wanted, became one of the most Wanted Men in india. This is the story of Suhaib Ilyasi.   Join our Desi Family on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thedesistudiosJoin our Desi Family on YouTube (for INR payments): https://youtube.openinapp.link/member   Buy Our Merch: https://kadakmerch.com/collections/desi-studios Sources: Suhaib Ilyasi vs State on 5 October, 2018 Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code, 1860 Section 304B in The Indian Penal Code, 1860 Section 201 in The Indian Penal Code, 1860 No longer India’s Most Wanted: The rise and fall of Suhaib Ilyasi Suhaib Ilyasi - Wikipedia Suhaib Ilyasi Court Says TV Host Betrayed Not Just His Wife\'s Faith But Public Too Suhaib Ilyasi v.

Where do you feel the safest in the world? For most of us, the safest place on Earth will be within the four corners of our home. It is the certainty of intimately knowing your surroundings, with its many variables, that makes us feel safe at home. I know that the ringing of the doorbell at 10 PM is the guard asking me to move my car, or tapping sounds are from a pipe I have procrastinated to get fixed. The chances of something going wrong in my own home is minimal, almost impossible. That’s why when Yashomati Parekh left her daughter home alone in Kolkata, she wasn’t expecting to return to a scene that changed the city forever. This is the story behind India’s first execution post Independence. This is the story of Hetal Parekh.

The cases you usually hear on true crime podcasts, the ones we usually cover, have a clear perpetrator and a clear victim. One person is in the wrong, the obvious suspect, the “villain” in the case. One person is innocent, the one who has been wronged and whose justice we long for. But then come cases that flip on their head our conception of wrong or right, good or evil. Today’s story is of one such case. It is a case of a woman, abused, tormented and emotionally tortured until she snapped. This is the story of Dr. Chamari Liyanage. 

1 bath tub, 3 dead bodies. A marriage in turmoil. A feverish lover. The house on 20 Grass Tree Close, Bridgeman Downs, Queensland Australia holds all the answers. On 22 April 2003, the police are summoned to decrypt this mystery. Clues lay scattered around the residence. But less physical evidence awaits them. The people evidence comes first. A debaucherous father, a complicit mother, and the vendetta of their enemies in Fiji stand in contrast to the wrath of one man – Max Sica. Who killed Neelma Singh, Kunal Singh and Sidhi Singh? Who is behind Queensland’s largest every investigation, that some till date question, if it lead to a satisfactory answer? Find out, in part 2 of The Singh Sica Triple Murder.

Home. A word that denotes haven, tranquility and family, but it often transforms into a hell for many. Houses are fascinating, take the cement structure of a home that hides away tales and tragedies, musings and maladies, all while standing upright and resolute. From the outside, a house can cast a certain image and connotations. A tin-roofed hut in a slum for example connotes suffering, ailment, a sick child being nursed by an even sicker mother, wreaking sewage. On the other hand, a grand mansion symbolizes prosperity, wealth, grand dinners and children running around the fireplace and a solemn happiness. But that’s not what makes houses fascinating, it is the juxtaposition they offer that does. That slum could very well have a kid studying endlessly under a light bulb while her mother smiles away as she cooks a simple stew. Happiness can easily be found regardless of the exterior. Vis a vis the grand mansion that exudes stature and class can hide behind its walls dark secrets. One such mansion stood on 20 Grass Tree Close, Bridgeman Downs, Queensland Australia. This is the story of its inhabitants and their dark secrets. This is the story of the Singh and Sica family.  Sources: Australian man convicted for killing 3 Indian-origin siblings Massimo Sica - Wikipedia Singh spa bath murders: Three Brisbane siblings brutally killed by Max Sica | news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site Triple-murderer Max Sica accuses Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman of blocking his path to exoneration - ABC News 69.
