days like this after completing the report at the police station the mother and daughter returned home such disappearances were not uncommon especially among teenagers of this age the police officially recorded the case as a missing person and assigned the new territory’s missing person’s investigation unit to follow up the missing person wangjia was from sheno Hunan she was the second child in the family and had an older sister a being who was 3 years her senior both sisters carried their mother’s surname when Wang Jaa May was 3 years

old her parents divorced due to conflicts later her mother remarried a 50-year-old man from Hong Kong named Chen this stepfather was a lazy man without a job apart from having Hong Kong citizenship Wang Jaa felt he had nothing worthy of her mother’s respect in 2000 Wang Jam’s mother decided to take the older sister a bing to settle in Hong Kong leaving the young girl alone in her hometown there were conflicting reports about Wang J’s living situation at that time some said she remained in her hometown of sheno While others claimed

she was sent to donguan to be cared for by others regardless of the actual circumstances it was clear that wangj had experienced a very lonely childhood lacking in affection in 2005 at the age of 14 she was finally brought to Hong Kong to reunite with her mother and sister as well as the stepfather she barely knew the family’s financial situation was not good and her mother had to make a living as a trash collector when she first arrived in Hong Kong Wang Jam was overjoyed to see the bustling City her mother enrolled her at

Sam yuk Taio secondary school where her sister a bing was also studying Wang Jam was an excellent student in eth grade she won the purple Gold Award a prize given to students who Excel in at least one of three subjects math Chinese and English she also won awards in Mandarin and English recitation competitions and received school scholarships for two consecutive years however Wang Jaa May’s relationships with her classmates and teachers were not good her peers saw her as introverted stubborn and quiet outside of school her relationship with

her stepfather was also poor they frequently argued in 2007 J enrolled in a modeling course outside of school however due to her ordinary appearance and figure she received almost no photo shoot invitations she lied to her family claiming she was working as a model’s assistant and earning about 20,000 to 30,000 Hong Kong dollars approximately 2,560 to $3,840 per month however she quit the job shortly after Wang J enjoyed Beauty and Fashion she liked makeup and beautiful clothes often sharing clothes and shoes with her

sister the Two Sisters even enrolled in a makeup course together attending three classes per week in January 2008 perhaps wanting to help ease the family’s financial burden Wang ja May then in 10th Grade told her family she wanted to drop out of school despite her mother and sister’s strong objections she insisted on her decision believing that too much education was useless eventually Wang J left school from then on she began leading a dissipated life frequently visiting entertainment venues associating with all kinds of people and

even staying out overnight without returning home after receiving the missing person report the police went to Wang Jam’s apartment in taiwo Taio to investigate this was a public housing complex provided by the Hong Kong government for low-income residents and was home to many new immigrants Wang Jame lived in an apartment in the kui wo building the police checked the browsing history on the computer in Wang Jame’s bedroom and discovered that she was working as a prostitute she had registered an account on an adult forum

posting many suggestive photos and publicly listing her service prices she also used two icq accounts to communicate with clients on April 13th Wang Jame had posted on the Forum and gone out to meet a client late at night over a week later someone left a comment reviewing her Services sometimes she also provided accompanying services such as shopping or going for walks with clients meeting strangers always carries potential risks and no one could guarantee Wang Jame’s safety based on her social connections the police determined that she might be

in danger after several days of her disappearance Wang Jame’s family was completely unaware of her work as a prostitute her sister a bing told the police we sisters were very close and often confided in each other however at some point Wang Jam’s mood began to darken as if she was hiding something troubling gradually aing noticed that her sister had made many new friends outside of school ranging in age from 20 to 50 wangja May often talked on the phone with others at night sometimes staying out overnight when the family

inquired she only said she was dating a boyfriend but never brought him home a bing knew that wangjia often used icq to chat with people but she couldn’t believe her sister would do such things normally Wang Jame only browsed Beauty websites and occasionally went to sing karaoke after investigating Wang Jame’s relationships the police became increasingly concerned for her safety the case was quickly publicized in the media to seek Clues from potential Witnesses on May 2nd a man named a bang came to the police station and reported

that he had met Wang Jam a bang was a Grammer and could be considered a regular client of Wang J in April 2008 a bang had seen Wang J’s information on the Forum and arranged to meet her on April 20th he had paid $1,500 Hong Kong dollars approximately $192 for that encounter after that meeting the two became closer and often chatted online a few days later a bang wanted to meet Wang Jame again and called her in the early morning of April 27th they met at Shamu po subway station that evening Wang Jame wore a black outfit

and carried a yellow bag they then went to a nearby hotel when they entered the room Wang Jam seemed tired so Aang didn’t engage in any sexual activity with her the two lay on the bed talking and fell asleep without realizing it around 9:00 a.m. the next morning they left the hotel and said goodbye this time a bang paid Wang J $2,000 Hong Kong dollar approximately $256 and arranged to meet her again in the future a bang said that after that day he couldn’t contact wangja May through icq or phone calls it wasn’t until May 2nd when he

saw the news about Wang Jame’s disappearance that he realized something was wrong and immediately went to the police station to provide information the day Wang Jame disappeared was the same day she left the hotel with Aang and Aang was also the last person known to have seen Wang Jame therefore Aang naturally became the primary suspect in the case however after investigation the police confirmed a Bang’s statement was true and cleared him of Suspicion according to a bang that night in the hotel room Wang Jaa had confided

in him that she wanted to earn money to give her mother a better life wangja had been scammed by a modeling company not only failing to earn money but also owing the company $50,000 Hong Kong dollar approximately $6,400 she had managed to pay back over 50,000 but on the evening of April 26th the modeling company called again demanding she pay an additional 10,000 in interest before May if she didn’t pay they threatened to expose her work for the company and release sensitive videos of her online backed into a corner

wangja May was forced to see multiple clients to earn money to pay off the debt the police speculated that after parting with Aang wangj had gone to meet another client who might be connected to her disappearance by checking Wang Jame’s call logs the police discovered that her last call was ma

de at 1:04 p.m. on April 27th at sham po subway station the call lasted 53 seconds the number on the other end was an unregistered prepaid phone according to Wang Jame’s icq chat history at 9 16 a.m. on April 27th someone had arranged to meet her at sham shoyo subway station at 1: p.m. that day this person had instructed Wang Jame to call when she arrived and they would then come to the subway station to pick her up the phone number this person left matched the number Wang Jame had called last through the IP address the police determined that this person’s IQ

joke however in recent days AI had been haunted by this incident later when he saw the news about Wang Jam’s disappearance ad noticed that the victim’s description and the time of disappearance closely matched what ding Chi Thai had said on the phone ad day began to suspect and decided to report to the police based on A’s statement the police determined that Wang J’s disappearance was not simple the case was then transferred to the cowon West Regional crime unit for further investigation according to the investigation dingi tha’s home address

apartment in the Yan fat building in the bathroom on the floor walls door frames and show show curtain there were still blood stains that hadn’t been cleaned traces of blood were also found on the computer desk chair and carpet in the bedroom even a CD in the disc drive was stained with blood DNA test results showed that all the blood belonged to Wang Jia clearly this apartment was the scene of the murder during interrogation ding Chi Tha confessed to killing Wang jam and dumping her body into the sea near the

cowon fairy Pier around around 8:00 a.m. the next day a group of police officers escorted dingi Thai to the coastal area of the cowon fery pier where he had disposed of the body by 300 p.m. divers had made two attempts to search the seabed but found nothing at this point ding Chi Thai revealed that he had dismembered Wang Jame’s body only throwing the head into the sea he had cut the other body parts into small pieces and flushed them down the toilet some bone fragments were taken to a pork stall in Sheek Kip May

and mixed with pig meat the murderer’s confession shocked the police since the incident had occurred over 10 days ago some bone fragments might have already been sold to customers when the case was made public it sent shock waves through Society the information that dingqi Thai had disposed of human remains at a pork stall caused Great Panic among local residents rumors spread online that Wang Jame had gone to the Yan fat building on the day of the incident to to participate in a group sex party with dingi Thai and others due to Wang Jame’s

habit of using drugs before working she had allegedly died from a drug overdose to avoid punishment dingi Thai and hit SE had allegedly dismembered the victim and disposed of the remains in the sea and at the pork stall however after investigation the police confirmed this information was inaccurate at the time of the incident whei had a reliable Alibi he was not involved in the case and did not help dingi Thai dispose of the the body as ding Chi Thai had initially claimed after further investigation the police were able to

piece together the sequence of events early that morning after leaving the bar at 7 a.m. ding Chi Thai continued to use drugs when he got home he still felt high and couldn’t calm down in his drug induced State ding Chi Thai contacted Wang Jame after 1 p.m. they met ding Chi Thai took Wang Jame back to his apartment they both used drug and then had sex around 300 p.m.

 ding Chi Thai woke up he was shocked to find Wang J lying motionless on the bed with bloody foam at her mouth and her body already cold ding Chi Tha realized he had killed someone but couldn’t remember the exact details he only recalled that he had strangled the victim for about 1 to 2 minutes initially ding Chi Thai was terrified when faced with Wang J’s death but within 5 to 10 minutes a plan to dismember and dispose of the body flashed through his mind ding Chi Thai chose to dismember the body thinking it would be harder to detect it took him 6

hours to dismember Wang Jame’s body just draining the blood took 10 to 15 minutes during the process of handling the body he found it difficult to skin and remove the flesh simultaneously so he came up with the idea of skinning first then removing the flesh similar to how pigs are butchered to avoid clogging the toilet he cut the body into small pieces and flushed them down in multiple batches when dealing with fingers and toes he flushed the toilet after disposing of each one to ensure they were completely gone at 10 p.m. dingi Thai began

processing the bones that couldn’t be flushed down the toilet such as arm bones leg bones and the spine he decided to remove all the flesh making them less recognizable as human bones to easily mix with pork later he then took the victims head on a bus to the cowon fairy pier and threw it into the sea apart from the head disposed of in the sea ding Chi Thai divided the remaining 10 parts of the body into two portions and dumped them at a pork stall on Sheek Kip May Street before his arrest ding Chi Thai continued his normal life eating and

enjoying himself during this time he called ad several times which ultimately helped the police track him down the police asked dingi Thai if he had ever worked in jobs related to Anatomy or selling pork before and if he had taken photos of the dismemberment process he denied all of these every action of ding Chi Thai was carefully calculated even the reason for taking the victim’s head on a bus to dispose of it then taking another bus home had its purpose he believed that traveling by bus would be less likely to attract police attention

thus minimizing the risk after dingi tha’s arrest psychiatrists from Castle Peak Hospital came to examine him dingi thaai revealed that he had been treated for mental illness at age 8 started purchasing sex services at 15 to 16 began using drugs in late 2001 and started viewing pornographic websites in 2002 some experts pointed out that if ding Chi tha’s statement was true he might have suffered from automatism caused by drug use automatism is a special form of epilepsy characterized by simple or complex unintentional

unconscious actions occurring during during or after a seizure when the patient is in a dazed state and has no memory of these actions however according to the director of the hospital’s substance abuse Treatment Center there is no medical literature documenting cases of drug abuse causing automatism dingi Tai’s claim of not remembering the killing process could be a lie during the dismemberment small body parts were flushed down the toilet multiple times Wastewater from the building flowed through a pumping

station and several septic tanks before being transferred to the now Tom May sewage treatment plant this plant processes millions of cubic meters of Wastewater daily for the port area and two coastlines the treated Wastewater is then discharged into the sea these facilities operate 24/7 finding body parts in this complex sewage system was nearly impossible however some residents living near the crime scene reported smelling a foul odor similar to dead rats coming from the drainage of a real estate company and a jean store on the ground

floor of the building upon receiving the report the police contacted the drainage company to coordinate the investigation on May 8th drainage company staff began searching for body parts in the sewer system and several manholes near the crime scene when tapping on a drainage pipe they detected an unusual sound and suspected there might be an obstruction inside from the sludge dredged up from the manhole they found over 20 pieces of Flesh suspected to be human DNA test results later confirmed that these flesh

pieces belong to wangja may as for the victim’s head although the police had expanded their search area under the sea near the cowon faery pier they still found nothing dingqi Thai 24 years old 5′ 10 in tall weighing 209 lbs was born in Hong Kong and was the second child in a family of four siblings ding Chi Thai was a rebellious child often causing trouble and getting into fights at age five during a family trip to Mainland China ding Chi Tha was involved in a serious traffic accident the accident caused him to suffer a brain injury and
