A friendship, a café catch-up, and a suspicious cup of Vietnamese iced coffee.

In January 2016, Wayan Mirna Salihin collapsed and died moments after sipping a drink at a glitzy Jakarta café. CCTV captured the whole thing—and the footage went viral. But what really happened that day? And was Jessica Wongso, her former college friend, truly guilty of murder?

This case divided a nation, triggered a media circus, and sparked endless debate about motive, evidence, and justice.

In this episode, we unpack the controversial case of The Iced Coffee Killer in just five minutes—so you can decide for yourself.

In 2000, Katherine Knight brutally murdered her partner John Price—and then took it several steps further.

She skinned his body, cooked him, and laid out meals as if nothing had happened.

But what makes this case even more disturbing is the history of violent behaviour that led up to it—and how often it was overlooked.

This is one of Australia’s most horrifying true crime stories, and the first woman in the country to receive a sentence of life without parole.

In 2014, Elliot Rodger committed a mass killing in Isla Vista, California—fuelled by deep misogyny, rage, and entitlement.

This episode was difficult to create—not just because of the violence, but because of what it represents: the radicalisation of rage and the disturbing rise of incel ideology.

Rodger’s legacy has become a dangerous symbol in online hate communities. We break down the facts and context behind the murders—and why they still matter today.
