While reading this murder case it didn't just shook me but also leave me speechless, I just don't know what to say so I'll just get to it and just leave it to you guys.

The Murder Case of Huang Na

on October 14, 2004, The face of Huang Na a missing eight-year-old girl was splashed across Singapore.

The story behind it moved Singaporeans into a nationwide search, imagine what happened to Huang Na for Singaporeans to search for her. She was born in 1996 in Putian, Fujian province, China. Huang Shuyin, Huang Na's mother brought her to Singapore for her studies and she basically attended the now-defunct Jin Tai Primary School. While they were in Singapore the both of them lived in a rented room above a fruit and vegetable company at the Pasir Panjang Wholesale Center and it is 14 minutes bus ride away from her school, Jin Tai Primary school. Huang Na was known to be an independent girl who can basically take care of herself because her mother had to return occasionally to take care of her other child in Putian. Yes, she would leave an eight-year-old girl in Singapore. On October 10, the day of Huang Na's disappearance she actually called her mother and she requested a computerized dictionary and a pair of sandals and that last call lasted for 6 minutes. October 10, 2004, at 1 pm Huang Na was last seen at the food court near her home and it was first made public 4 days after her disappearance. The police urged anyone with information to come forward. Many people actually help the search, for instance, taxi company Confort Delgro asked its divers to keep a lookout for the girl, even a retired businessman offered a $10,000 reward to anyone who could provide information on where it or what happens to Huang Na.

Huang Shuyin, Huang Na's mother returned to Singapore and combed the island for her girl and just like other mothers would do she looked everywhere and showed everyone pictures of her missing girl. The continuous media coverage reached a fever pitch when the police brought Took Leng How, a 22-year-old vegetable seller at the wholesale center for questioning. Basically, Took was Huang Shuying's(Huang Na's mother) colleague and had previously shared a flat with her in Clementi and Took and Huang Na were close because he often gave Huang Na rides on his motorcycle and would buy food for her and that is why her mother refused to believe that Took was her daughter's abductor. on October 21st, Suspicions grew when Took Leng How escaped to Penang, that is before he was due to undergo a lie detector test. The police basically put out a search for him but on October 30, Took eventually turned himself in. 21 days after Huang Na disappeared on October 31st, she was found. Her body was badly decomposed and it was found inside the brown cardboard box at Telok Blangah Hill Park. During the interview Took confessed that he was playing hide-and-seek with Huang Na in the storeroom before stripping her and bound her limbs together with raffia string. Took sexually assaulted Huang Na and to ensure that she would not report him, he smothered Huang Na by covering her mouth and nose for at least two minutes.

After she died, took packed her body inside nine layers of plastic bag and he then placed her inside a cardboard box and sealed it with an adhesive tape. Took didn't testify during his trial. Subhas Anandah, Took's lawyer felt that it would not help to put him on the stand because he was delusional and suffering from mental illness. Took was found guilty of Huang Na's murder and sentenced to death, he actually appealed against the conviction but it was rejected. A plea of clemency was also submitted to then-president Nathan by his relatives, but it was rejected.

On November 3, 2006, Took Leng How was hanged.

My thoughts: Okay, so my thought is that the mother is also responsible for her daughter's death. I mean, why would you leave your 8-year-old daughter in another country all by herself. I get it that she had to take care of her 'other' child back in China but why didn't she just bring her 'other' kid to Singapore in the first place?. This case also leaves us with a lesson, no matter how close or how well you know the person is you still don't know what's indie their head so don't easily trust anyone. Anyways, I hope you like it and I want to hear your thoughts! just comment down below! byee!
