    File 04: The Ritual Murders of Toa Payoh

    [Trigger Warnings: Mentions and depictions sexual assault, sexual violence, gruesome violence involving women and children, jumpscares] In the shadowed corners of Toa Payoh, Singapore, the story of Adrian Lim unfurls like a twisted tale of horror and deceit. Posing as a spiritual healer, Lim captured the trust of his followers and led them down a path of superstition, deception, and terror. Behind closed doors, what seemed like ritualistic practices became a grim descent into unthinkable violence that shook the city to its core. On our last episode, Chasing Shadows invites you with caution to explore this chilling case, unpacking the psychological grip Lim held over his followers and the series of events that led to the tragic loss of innocent lives. Through the grim details of the investigation, we’ll uncover how superstition and manipulation combined to create an atmosphere of fear—and ultimately, justice—that would send shockwaves through Singapore and beyond. --- This episode of Chasing Shadows is hosted by Ashly Tan, produced by Alis Fong, Raghinie Ravi, and Zureen Natasha.
