    202. The Gangster and the Juror: Gillian Guess & Peter Gill

    By the mid-1990s, Vancouver’s Indo-Canadian underworld was no longer operating quietly. Young gangsters were threatening each other on television. Brothers were being shot in traffic and left dead in alleyways. Their names were becoming larger than the crimes attached to them, turning into a strange mixture of warning, legend and aspiration. But one of the most extraordinary stories from that world did not begin with a drug deal, a revenge killing or a man walking into a nightclub with a gun. It began inside a courtroom where six men stood trial for executing two brothers at the centre of Vancouver’s growing gang war. Outside it, bodies were continuing to fall. This is the story of a juror, a gangster and a murder trial that became almost as scandalous as the underworld it was supposed to judge. This is the story of Gillian Guess, Peter Gill, Bindy Johal and the Dosanjh Brothers.  For extra episodes, early access, silly bloopers, subscribe at: https://www.patreon.com/thedesistudios   Join our YouTube family: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnbfV0YvrxWMq3h0hmo13Jg/join   For fastest updates, follow our socials at: https://www.instagram.com/desicrime/Aryaan https://www.instagram.com/aryaanmisra/Aishwarya https://www.instagram.com/aishwaryasinghs/   Order our book, Desi Crime, available now on Amazon:https://amzn.in/d/0WyttKW   To buy Desi Studios merch, visit: https://kadakmerch.com/collections/desi-studios Hosted on Acast.

    199. Murder on Barker Street | Tay Lyang & Tony Chuan

    In September 2003, three young Singaporean students were sharing an ordinary apartment in Sydney. They were far from home, studying in Australia, living the kind of life that many international students know well. But one morning, inside their apartment, everything changed. Two of them would never make it out alive. At first, the case seemed to point outward-- to strange sightings and possible intruders. But as investigators looked closer, the story became far more complicated. Timelines shifted. Suspicions changed. And a case that seemed like it should have a clear answer became one of the most unsettling double-murder mysteries in Sydney. This is the case of Tay Chow Lyang, Tony Poh Chuan and Ram Puneet Tiwary. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    198. Murder in The Hague | Sharmila Shinde

    In a quiet neighbourhood in The Hague, a woman disappeared without warning. Her name was Sharmila Shinde. She was a wife, a mother, and an Indian woman living thousands of kilometres away from home, until she was nowhere to be seen. When investigators entered her home, what they found inside would turn this disappearance into one of the most chilling cases connected to the Indian community in the Netherlands. This is the story of that one woman, and that one home in the Hague. This is the story of Sharmila Shinde.

    197. The Lohagad Murder | Ketan Agarwal & Siya Goyal

    A boy from a big Pune business family, a girl about to marry into it, and a wedding being built on a scale that barely sounded real. Then Ketan Agarwal went over the edge of Lohagad Fort near Lonavala, and for 5 days it stayed exactly what it looked like: a tragic trekking accident. But his fiancée Siya Goyal, a man in a hoodie named Chetan Chaudhary, 2004 phone calls, and a string of earlier attempts nobody saw coming turned this into one of the most disturbing cases India has followed in 2026. We break down every credible thread the police have pulled so far in the Ketan Agarwal murder case, and trust us, this one is stranger than fiction.

    196. The Santa Serial Killer | Bruce McArthur

    For years, men were disappearing from Toronto’s Gay Village. Some were immigrants. Some were refugees. Some were South Asian or Middle Eastern men living complicated, private lives in a city that was supposed to offer them freedom. They moved through bars, dating apps, friendships, and chosen families — until, one by one, they seemed to vanish. At first, there were rumours. Then there was fear. People in the community warned each other that something was wrong, that someone was targeting men who were already easy for the world to overlook. But the warnings were dismissed for far too long. This is the story of how a city’s most vulnerable men went missing in plain sight, and how the truth, when it finally came out, exposed a killer more ordinary than the men who walk beside you every day. This is the story of Bruce McArthur.  For extra episodes, early access, silly bloopers, subscribe at: https://www.patreon.com/thedesistudios   Join our YouTube family: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnbfV0YvrxWMq3h0hmo13Jg/join   For fastest updates, follow our socials at: https://www.instagram.com/desicrime/Aryaan https://www.instagram.com/aryaanmisra/Aishwarya https://www.instagram.com/aishwaryasinghs/   Order our book, Desi Crime, available now on Amazon:https://amzn.in/d/0WyttKW   To buy Desi Studios merch, visit: https://kadakmerch.com/collections/desi-studios Hosted on Acast.
