In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, far beyond the reach of land, help, or escape. A fishing vessel drifted through international waters. On board were dozens of men, isolated, exhausted, and thousands of miles from home. There was no signal, no authority, and no way off.

Over the course of several weeks, the crew began turning on each other. Men were beaten and thrown overboard, left to disappear into the ocean. By the time the ship returned to port, more than twenty crew members were dead. And what had unfolded on board would later be described as one of the most disturbing cases of violence ever recorded at sea.

On the evening of July 26th, 2014, police officers in the quiet Japanese city of Sasebo entered a residential apartment expecting to investigate a missing teenager.

What they found inside stopped every officer in their tracks.

The body of a 15-year-old girl lay on the floor.

Her head had been severed. Her hand was removed. And Blood was splattered all over the room.

And to their utter horror… sitting coldly and calmly inside the same room was another 15-year-old girl, her classmate.

When police questioned the girl about the sinister scene… her explanation sent shockwaves through Japan.

Because she said she had always wondered what it would feel like…

to kill someone.

In October 2000, 24-year-old Noor Suzaily Mukhtar boarded a bus in Kuala Lumpur on her way to work. She had recently returned from the United Kingdom after graduating from De Montfort University and had just begun her career as a computer engineer. It should have been an ordinary morning commute.

Instead, the bus driver diverted from the usual route.....

What followed shocked Malaysia, a brutal crime carried out in broad daylight, in a space meant to be safe. The case ignited national outrage, led to changes in public transport policies, and became part of larger debates about women’s safety and capital punishment.
