The Year of the Audiobook - Part 2
The Year of the Audiobook – Part 2
Part two of my one-sentence reviews for the many audiobooks I’ve listened to this year. Hang in there! I wanted to love this one so hard because it’s Neil Gaiman, but I found myself nodding off one too many times to say I enjoyed it. We all know that John Scalzi is a master author, but this first book of his Interdependency series is masterful. It seems that all my friends love this series, and…

Last Song Listened To:
Not including the radio which is unfortunately always playing in my day to day life (but if we do that would be Together Forever by Rick Astley) the last song would be A Girl Named Tex by Trocadero. Taking time to appreciate the music in RVB now that it's officially over 🟥🟦
Currently Reading:
The Sun Does Shine: How I Found Life and Freedom on Death Row by Anthony Ray Hinton and also rereading MTMTE and a few book series from my childhood that I never got to finish, Wings of Fire by Sutherland and Pegasus by O'Hearn primarily as of right now
Currently Watching:
Bang Brave Bang Bravern, Predator series, and I'm trying to slip in time for a rvb and Overlord rewatch
Currently Obsessed With:
Customing transformers figures. Dead in the middle of 3 different customs, two of which are recolors plus new headsculpt but the second which is in the middle of what others might consider mild surgical reconstruction but feels big to me. Also a lil obsessed w working on my new cosplay so it will be done in time 4 July :] For short: Robots and arts n crafts
Tagging:

I think about Daniel Villegas all of the time. Luckily from like lawsuits and media attention he’s like a millionaire now, but I think about his reaction constantly. I researched it a while ago, and I know they intimidated him into a confession at 16, and I think police also beat him. I think of him all the time. I took a class on police and society and I wanted to write my final about wrongful convictions and I did mine on Anthony Ray Hinton who spent thirty years on death row basically because the prosecutor and someone working close on his case were super racist and were willing to lie about it and his lawyer was dog shit because he couldn’t afford a good one. It was 1973, pretty sure an all or mostly white jury and the only evidence was bullets at the scene matched the bullets from his mom’s gun even though those kind of bullets could be used by thousands of guns. It’s such a frustrating topic and that video hits so hard every time I watch

Why the Gruesome Hello Kitty Murder Shocked Hong Kong – and Still Horrifies the World
Steven JohnSeptember 25, 2022
Humans have a macabre, yet irresistible, tendency to attach nicknames to horrific criminal cases. There’s the Black Dahlia murder, the Taliesin Massacre, the Zodiac Killer. The list of luridly named crimes and criminals goes on. Perhaps it’s as simple as writing a catchy headline, or a need to blunt the horror of the true crime. Regardless, what’s beyond question is that one gruesome murder in 1999 shocked the people of Hong Kong, and the world. And its descriptive name is as horrific as it is grimly accurate: the Hello Kitty murder.
RELATED: The Bloody True Crime, and Shocking Acquittal, Behind Hulu’s Candy
Before we get into the details of the Hello Kitty murder, be warned. This was grisly affair. So, if you’re bothered by dark topics, you may want to look away..
 The Hello Kitty Victim: Fan Man-yee
Fan Man-yee
Fan Man-yee was only 23 at the time of her death in 1999. And none of those 23 years had been easy. Fan Man-yee was abandoned as a child by her family, and raised in a Hong Kong orphanage.
RELATED: Netflix’s Devil in Ohio Is Inspired by a True Crime – But Which One?
She aged out of the orphanage at 15, and turned to sex work to survive. A drug addict, Fan ended up in an abusive marriage with a client, with whom she had a child. Despite the many challenges, Fan cleaned up, left her husband, quit prostitution, and found a job as a nightclub hostess. She hoped to earn a living so she could care for her son.
30 Years On Death Row For A Crime He Didn't Commit Anthony Ray Hinton |Goalcast
Copied
Unfortunately, the the Romance Villa was agathering place for the worst of the worst in Hong Kong. Guests included everyday criminals, drug addicts, dealers, and members of the powerful Chinese crime syndicate, The Triads.
Fan Man-yee’s interactions with one member, Chan Man-lok, led to her awful suffering and gruesome death.
The Hello Kitty Murderers: Three Men and a Minor
Chan Man-lok
Her fate was sealed when Fan stole the wallet of Chan Man-lok, a 34-year-old drug dealer and pimp, with whom she had a sexual relationship. The theft of the wallet, containing the equivalent of $500 USD, was quickly realized by its owner. Fan returned the wallet, but Chan insisted she pay an exorbitant penalty fee. However, Fan had no way to pay the amount Chan demanded. Thus, sought other means to exact his “fee.”
RELATED: Committing the Perfect Crime in Yellowstone’s Zone of Death
With two associates, 27-year-old Leung Shing-cho and 21-year-old Leung Wai-lun, and Chan’s 14-year-old “girlfriend,” Ah Fong, he kidnapped Fan Man-yee and stashed her in a Hong Kong apartment.
Over the course of the next few weeks, Fan suffered in abject misery at the hands of these four people.
The Torture and Killing of Fan Man-yee
The Hello Kitty mermaid doll
Chan initially planned to claim his penalty fee by forcing Fan back into prostitution. However, he and his accomplices instead tortured the young woman, apparently for no other reason than perverse enjoyment. They badly burned Fan’s feet with molten plastic to hamper her ability to escape. Over the course of a month, the three men and the 14-year-old girl beat, cut, burned and otherwise tortured Fan. (Ah Fong was apparently a less-active participant in the abuse, but she later admitted to taking a role at times.)
RELATED: The Wife Swap Murders: The Tragedy at Stockdale Farm, Explained
Fan was sometimes left hanging from the ceiling for hours, treated like a literal punching bag. She was soiled with urine and excrement, force-fed drugs, and sexually assaulted countless times. And after about a month of this unthinkable abuse, Fan died as a result of the trauma. Soon, she became known widely as the Hello Kitty murder victim.
Chan and his accomplices covered up their crime with the same grim attachment. The victim’s body was sawed apart in a bathtub, and then the group boiled her body parts. Some of the pieces were fed to stray dogs, and others thrown into the trash. They boiled the flesh from Fan’s skull, and then stitched it inside of a Hello Kitty mermaid doll. That, of course, is how the horrific crime earned its nickname.
The Hello Kitty Murder Trial
If not for feelings of guilt that plagued 14-year-old Ah Fong, we might never have known Fan Man-yee’s grime fate. But the teenager was tormented by remorse, and believed she was haunted by the dead woman’s ghost. That brought her to a Hong Kong police station to confess to the crimes.
RELATED: A Mother and 8-Year-Old Daughter Were Kidnapped for 7 Weeks – Their Escape Was Unbelievable, But Only the Beginning
The three men were arrested, and then prosecuted in 2000, during a six-week trial. They were found guilty, but not of murder. They were instead convicted of manslaughter, as well as lesser crimes, such as false imprisonment and preventing lawful burial. That’s because the jury found that, without more of Fan’s remains, her precise cause of death couldn’t be determined. She could have died from a drug overdose or starvation, for all jurors knew.
Chan Man-lo, Leung Shing-cho and Leung Wai-lun were sentenced in 2000 to life in prison. However, Leung successfully appealed his conviction, and was subsequently sentenced to 18 years after pleading guilty in retrial. He was released from prison in 2011.
Because of her age, and her testimony in the Hello Kitty murder trial, Ah Fong was granted immunity. She never faced punishment
Hello Kitty Murder Defendant Returns to the News in 2022
If you thought years in prison for his role in the Hello Kitty murder might reform Leung Wai-lun, think again. In August 2022, more than a decade after his release, Leung was sentenced to 12 months in jail. This time, it was for indecent contact with the 10-year-old daughter of a friend.
Leung Wai-lun, now 48, is again behind bars, more than two decades after the torture and death of Fan Man-yee.

Book Review: The Many Lives Of Mama Love
Oprah’s first book club pick of the year was (kind of) a repeat author. Her book club pick in June 2018 was Anthony Ray Hinton’s memoir called “The Sun Does Shine: How I Found Life And Freedom On Death Row”, only the book was ghost written by Lara Love – AKA Mama Love who would be Oprah’s book club pick six years later with her own incarceration memoir.
