True Crime Cases in Hong Kong
1 documented case spanning 1982–1982 . Each case is researched from public sources, with locations, perpetrators, victims and video coverage.
Hong Kong appears only briefly in the record I've assembled here, but the case I've mapped is among the most disturbing the territory has known. In 1982, taxi driver Lam Kor-wan strangled and dismembered four young women, preserving body parts in jars at his home. The press called him the Jars Murderer.
It is a single entry, and I make no claim about Hong Kong beyond it. A densely populated city sees comparatively few cases that reach this level of notoriety, and this one endures because of how the remains were found and kept.
The case mapped here sits within the wider international record I research by hand, one verified entry at a time. You can read the full summary below and see where it falls on the map.
