    William Unek: Not Once, But Twice

    William Adrogo had a history of mental illness that caused delusions that made him snap into violent episodes. In February 1954, he invited his family to a banquet at his house, celebrating a indigenous festival for the Alur tribe. In his twisted mind, he believed that they had put witchcraft on his marriage, so after the celebration was over, he silently killed all 22 of his guests with a machete. He escaped on a boat and authorities couldn’t track him down. William ended up in northern Uganda, giving authorities a false name and quickly fitting in because he could understand the dialect of the locals. The police force in Tanganyika was unaware of his previous crimes and hired him as a constable. A few months later, for seemingly no reason, he upped the ante, and this would become one of the deadliest crimes of the 20th century.

    The Murdaugh Family

    The Murdaugh family is a prominent American legal family in the Low Country region of South Carolina. From 1920 to 2006, three members of the family consecutively served as solicitors in charge of prosecuting all criminal cases in the state's 14th circuit district, leading locals to call the five-county district, "Murdaugh Country." The family also founded a nationally recognized civil litigation law firm in Hampton, South Carolina that specializes in personal injury litigation. Despite all of this success, the legacy of this family is marked with legal issues, including corruption, insurance fraud, drug charges, and five murders in the last six years.

Two days later, on 15 February his wife 25-year-old Nancy Chohan, her mother 51-year-old Charanjit Kaur and his two young children, 18-month-old Davinder and 2-month-old Ravinder, also vanished. Rumor suggested Mr Chohan had got himself involved in some shady business deals and had fled back to India with his family to escape repercussions. However, when a company employee presented letters that appeared to be signed by Amarjit Chohan stating he was handing over full control of his company, the disappearance of the Chohan family began to look more suspicious.When Mrs Chohan’s brother flew in from New Zealand to convince London police his sister and her family would not simply disappear, a full investigation was launched. What transpired was a sickening plan by two men to get their hands on a successful business to act as a front for laundering their drug money. A plan which involved fraud, abduction, torture and the murder of six people in order to get what they wanted. The Chohan family had not run away from anything. They had been callously murdered and disposed of as if their lives didn’t matter simply for the lure of money.

They were first tried separately, with one jury for each brother. Both juries deadlocked, which resulted in a mistrial. For the second trial, they were tried together by a single jury, which found them guilty; as a result, they were sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
