Man With EXTREME Fetish Killed Mid Climax In ‘Viral’ Video - The Vietnamese Butcher Case

Bada bing, bada boom. >> You know that very famous saying, it's. typically used against nepo babies. It's. it's not what you know, it's who you. know. Well, Facebook, they want to know. exactly who you know. They want to know. all of them. Every single person that. you might have even just glanced at on. the bus that you walked by in the office. hallway. They want to know and they want. you to confirm through a feature that. they call people you may know which. gives you a suggested list of people.

that well you may know and it's actually. one of the lesserk known but creepier. aspects of the meta algorithm. There was. this alleged incident years ago where. you have the psychiatrist and her. patients, they all have the psychiatrist. phone number, but perhaps because they. all have the psychiatrist phone number, maybe Meta thought that they're all. friends or they're all one degree apart. from one another. So Meta [music] starts. suggesting to all of her patients the. other patients as people you may know, like people that you have run into in.

the therapist waiting room as people you. may know. In another alleged incident, people part of an anonymous addiction. group who don't share numbers with one. another. They don't share phone numbers. They don't even share each other's. names. They start getting people you may. know suggestions and it's just other. members of this anonymous, not so. anonymous group anymore, which the. theory to the psychiatrist incident. Well, they have the psychiatrist number. So maybe if Meta has access to the. contacts, they cross reference and then.

suggest people you may know and it's. only one degree apart from each other. However, with the anonymous addiction. group, if this really did happen, they. don't know each other's names. They. don't have each other's phone numbers, which makes netizens theorize, okay, maybe Meta is tracking users locations. If you go to the same location once a. week and you stay there for 45 minutes. with the same phone numbers and the same. users that are also at that location, Meta just assumes that you all know one. another. Meta claims that they don't do. that. But I guess the argument is.

Facebook has over three billion monthly. active users. How do they know which 20. or 160 out of the three billion that you. may actually know? And even if you do. know them, there is the argument of who. really cares? I mean, who really cares. what anybody is posting on Facebook, it. is not that far-fetched to imagine that. nobody cares until something happens to. you? And if that's the case, suddenly. family, friends, people you may know, even strangers on the internet, they're. going to start dissecting everything. that you've ever posted on Facebook,

such as the situation in Vietnam. June. 10th, 2025. A small personal account on. Facebook in Vietnam posts a new status. update. From today, I'm logging off this. account for good. Okay, it's a little. mysterious, perhaps even a little. melodramatic. And at the risk of. sounding cold, unless you're this man's. personal friend and you care deeply. about him, it's not fascinating enough. to warrant a whole global hunt for what. happened to this guy, why he's logging.

off of Facebook. This post in Vietnamese. has been translated into various other. languages, including English. This. Facebook post goes viral because it'll. be discovered that when this man posted. this [music] on Facebook, he had already. been dead. He had been dead for 6. months. We know this because videos have. been circulating of his murder online. There is this widely seen photo of this. man's killer holding up his severed head. to the mirror and taking a selfie. How. do you post on Facebook 6 months after.

your own video recorded murder? Is this. post going to help people find the. killer? And most importantly, who the. hell posted that? >> [music]. [music].

>> We would like to thank today's sponsors. who have made it possible for Rotten. Mango to support Children of Vietnam. They're a nonprofit focused on. wraparound services for low-income. communities. They've provided over 4. million nutritious meals annually. This. episode's partnerships have also made it. possible to support Rotten Mingo's. growing team. And we would also like to. thank you guys for your continued. support. As always, full show notes are. available at rotten mango.com. Huge. disclaimers for this case. I don't know. why I always have to do these. disclaimers for any other case that is. outside of probably the Western nations.

It's always the disclaimer of don't get. racist. Like just because there is one. incident or one crime taking place in a. country does not deem that country to be. dangerous. does not deem that country to. be off the travel list for tourists. It's one crazy person, a few crazy. people. There are crazy people. everywhere. Obviously, evidently, there. are a lot in the United States. Another. huge disclaimer is this episode is so. graphic. There's no way around it. Please watch with extreme caution. In. the interest of full disclosure, there. are just in-depth descriptions of.

injuries as well as conversations of. some very extreme extreme interests that. people have developed that revolve. around self-exit. There are also. elements of cannibalism. I mean, at any. given point during the research of this. episode, we thought, okay, surely we. have reached the rock bottom like it's. not going to get deeper from here. Then. it would just progress into more. depraved activities and then it would. just progress even more. So, I would. just be careful. And speaking of. research for this case, none of this.

research would have been possible. without a massive online anonymous group. of internet detectives. They go by Osent. on Facebook and on Twitter. They have. compiled a 100 plus page dossier PDF. document detailing every aspect of this. case. That document was then translated. into English. And it is a really well. done investigative piece that I think is. a pretty exhaustive overview of. everything that has transpired thus far. And I would say they may be the only. reason that this case got so much.

attention on a global scale. And perhaps. they may be the only reason that there. was an arrest made recently. >> Oh, arrest was made. >> Yeah. >> So, with that being said, let's get into. it. July 2025, a collection of three. videos goes live and each one of them is. intentionally titled. It's a collection. of three videos and the collection seems. to have I mean it appears to have been. thought out, prepared, uploaded with the. intention of being consumed by an. audience. It almost feels like a trilogy.

like it has some sick form of artistic. expression embedded into it. You have to. start with part one, then two, then. three. These are not standalones. When. you click on the first video, it's about. 3 minutes long. The camera angle is. unflattering. It's unique. It's almost. on the floor angled upwards. If you were. to prop your phone up behind, like put. it on a book on the floor and then prop. it upwards, you're looking up. It's very. unflattering. No one's going to look. good from that angle. It's very much a. homemade video. No edits, no intros, no.

color grading, no edited music. It's. just a grainy phone camera. And it's two. guys in an office. We don't get. introductions. We don't know these. people's names. We know nothing about. these people. There's filing cabinets. that take up 80% of the screen. They're. not even lined up. No one thought, "Hey, before we start the video, let's just. make it less crooked. It's completely. misaligned. There are three depressing. plastic house plants on top of the. filing cabinets. The only thing that's. in view other than that is this wooden.

block just near the phone. So, I guess. it's on the ground. It's like a chopping. block. And there are two guys standing. on opposite sides of the screen. So, you. have a man on the left and you have a. man on the right. On the left, you have. a man wearing a blueco collared dress. shirt and a pair of trousers. He looks. like he came in to work. This looks like. an office and he looks like an office. worker. The only odd thing about him is. the last two buttons on his shirt are. either broken or just left unbuttoned.

It looks a little messy. The shirt. itself doesn't fit perfectly. So, there. is this weird feeling of like, is this. this guy's shirt? Is this a shirt that. he's never worn before? Did he borrow. this shirt? He looks maybe in his mid to. late 30s, but the shirt is just so. ill-fitting it doesn't make sense. He. also looks very uncomfortable. On the. right, you have a man wearing a dark. athletic tracksuit with three neon. yellow stripes running down the sides. So, it looks like an Adidas tracksuit. The most notable thing about him though. is that he's wearing an anonymous mask.

The money heist mask mustache. >> Yes. Now, contrary to the other guy, the. masked man's body language is very. confident. He looks like he's in his. element. like he he looks like he's been. in this office for a lot longer. The. masked man is messing around with some. rope and the office man kneels down. right in front of the camera in front of. the wooden block. So he's facing the. camera facing the wooden block and the. masked man walks behind him fussing with. this rope and it looks like he's tying.

the rope around the office man's ankles. and the office man is just letting this. happen. He's not fighting back. He does. look nervous but he's not saying no. stop. He's not even trying to move away. He's just letting himself get tied up. He doesn't look like this is surprising. >> Like no communication, no talking. >> Yeah. I mean, at certain points, they do. eventually start communicating in. Vietnamese. It seems like they're just. giving each other instructions. >> The office man that's getting tied up. He keeps closing his eyes and he keeps. swallowing and he does rub his Adam's.

apple a lot. At one point, he's just. staring into the depths of our souls. into the camera, rubbing his neck. Now, this hand gesture, I was trying to. figure out a way to precisely describe. to you the feeling of it. It doesn't. look like he's nervous and rubbing his. neck. It almost looks like it looks like. something is bothering him about his. neck or he's thinking about his neck in. some way. It's not like the anxious like. I'm so stressed. I need to rub myself. and self soothe. It's like he he keeps. looking at his neck, extending his neck,

touching his neck. >> I see. The mask man finally gets up and. starts roughly unbuttoning office man's. dress shirt from the back. The mask man. is fumbling a little bit, but it doesn't. seem like it's because he's nervous, but. more so he's just got big fingers and. maybe he's not used to it. He's. unbuttoning the dress shirt. Office. man's interactions and reactions are. weird. He glances down and he almost. like flinches at the sight of his own. body and then he keeps doing this thing. where he closes his eyes and looks away.

almost like I don't want to look. I. don't want to look. It's weird. It's. really difficult to read the expression. on his face. He doesn't look scared. He. doesn't look sad. He doesn't look. contemplative. But once he's shirtless, he waits for the masked man to tie his. arms up behind him. He looks briefly. annoyed that it's taking so long. That's. the feeling. He looks annoyed at the. mask man. like, why are you taking so. long to tie my arms up? And then he just. waits. He's closing his eyes. He's. squinting down. He's looking at the. camera. And then finally, the mask man. slowly, gently pushes office man's head.

onto the wooden block. Adjust his head. so he's still his cheek is on the wooden. block and he's looking at the camera. directly at us. Mass man grabs something. offcreen and it's a giant meat cleaver. He brings it up into the air right above. office man's neck and slams it down. and stops right before it makes contact. And then [music] right, left, right, left. He starts doing a sawing motion, but just in the air half an inch above.

office man's neck. Then he lifts it up. once more and then he brings it back. down, stopping again right before making. contact. I don't know if there is like a. viewfinder on the camera where office. man can see what's going on, but he's. looking towards the camera lens, almost. looking at whoever is watching. He kind. of closes one eye like he's winking at. us and he's like focusing, but the rest. of his face, he doesn't seem to be. having a good time. He doesn't look like. he's enjoying this. He's just watching. with this very contemplative look on his. face [music] as Masked Man over and over.

and over again just brings the meat. cleaver up and then slams it down before. making contact. He never touches him. with the meat cleaver. He just does it. again and again and again until finally. the office man still shirtless. He gets. up. He's still on his knees. He lifts. his head up from the chopping block. The. mass man is standing right next to him. and he just leans his head against the. masked man's stomach and the mask man. starts comforting him kind of rubs. >> touching his head.

>> Yeah. Kind of rubs his head almost in. like a little hug and [music] they. embrace a little bit and that's it. He. just this office man is embracing the. masked man who just two milliseconds ago. was pretending to chop his head off and. they're kind of caressing each other. But I will say the way they caress each. other does not feel familiar. It doesn't. feel like two people who are very. knowledgeable about each other's bodies, who have intimately been together. It. just feels slightly awkward, which. perhaps makes this entire situation even.

more strange. And then the video ends. That is the very first video in the. trilogy and it is titled rehearsal. Rehearsal as in when you really want. something to be done right, you do a. practice beforehand, like a wedding. rehearsal. Then what are they practicing. for? The second video in the trilogy. will be named the execution. And this. time, the meat cleaver will not stop. before making contact. There will be no. comfort. There will be no caressing. because one of the two men will be dead. Which begs the question, this rehearsal.

video, is the office man being forced. into filming it? Is this part of some. sick murder where the victim has to. practice being killed? Like how some. people have to dig their own graves. before they're killed? Does the mask man. get off on this? or is the victim. performing a genuine practice round for. his own murder? Have you ever seen. something and you thought, "Okay, that's. probably illegal." That's what I thought. about most gore websites. I mean, it. sure is a lot of things, but apparently. illegal is not one of them. Unless it. crosses into the territories of.

involving children, terrorism, propaganda, or real life depictions of. intentional homicide, like firstderee. homicide. Technically, if you have a. drunk driver killing someone on the. street and you upload that as gore, a. lot of that is going to be protected by. protected speech. But if you have a. knife wielding man intentionally. murdering someone, that is that is iffy. territory. >> Huh? >> It falls into protected speech. Which is. why at one point there was this massive. subreddit called r/w watch people die.

where you don't just watch someone die. You watch someone get mauled, crushed, exploded, disembowled, and then die. And. at least half a million people were. subscribed to this subreddit. They. wanted to, you know, watch people die. They wanted to see criminal. organizations skin people's faces off. So that was another weird thing. For. some reason, just firstdegree homicide. where you are in a room with someone, I. guess, decapitating them, that is. considered typically illegal video. But.

if you were to film a terrorist. organization skinning someone's face off. or like a cartel killing someone, that. is typically protected speech. >> Wait, why is that? >> Nothing ever gets done about it. I guess. you could argue it's political. I guess. you could argue it's news. I don't know. Because you do see a lot of murder, but. it's not I guess it's not the personal. interpersonal murder that a lot of. people think is the only way to kill. someone like a a couple killing each. other. It's always.

>> some sort of organization, >> right? >> People like to see it. I mean, some. people like to watch people die in. explosions or being slowly crushed by a. massive crane or terrorist attacks from. at least 50 different angles are on. there. You can see everyone's faces. pretty clearly and it's very graphic. Nothing is censored. And in 2019, the. subreddit gets banned. Interestingly, people were upset. They argued that. either Okay, fine. The subreddit is bad.

This is their argument. The subreddit is. bad, but not as bad as other subreddits. that actually radicalize people with. hate. Some people say, "Hey, I was on. that subreddit out of morbid curiosity.". And I actually think that it helped save. lives. Because some people would be on. that subreddit and they would be. planning some crazy violent things, but. they would see violence in real life and. not in a video game and not romanticized. on movies, and they would see real. depictions of violence and decide maybe. that's not what they want anymore. Others say, "No, I skipped all the. terrorist videos. I would just watch the.

ones involving car accidents or. work-related accidents because I'm a. blueco collar worker and I feel like. it's a good reminder once in a while to, you know, stay safe, not drink and. drive. It just reminds you that you're. blessed and you can have deep. introspections about life while you. watch somebody else get crushed by a. cyber truck." That was the argument. I. don't know if that argument is sound and. valid. Some say it was more like a. challenge, like a you know, see if you. can handle it. This is a little strange, but like I just want to know if I'm. capable of doing it. It does seem like. there are levels to people who watch.

gore. You have the casual gore. consumers, which I don't even know if. you could call it that. It's probably. everybody watching this video, myself. included, in the sense of you see. something blurred on Reddit, the. accompanying post title is something. graphic, and for some reason you're. like, I really should not click on this, but why is it blurred? And I can see. some of the shapes and the blurring, and. now I feel like I need to see it. So. then you quickly click on blur and then. you regret it for the rest of the week. That is the casual gore consumer. Then. you have the more seasoned gore. consumer. They're subscribed to.

subreddits with gore. They will seek out. gore. They'll think about it once in a. while and they'll go Google it. Then. from there you start getting into very. scary waters. People who need gore, who. get off on gore or a lot of the times. the gore threshold starts getting. elevated. They need more and more to. reach whatever point that they're trying. to get to, whatever thrilling point of. [music] ecstasy that they're trying to. reach. These are people that are willing. to pay and test the limits of the legal. system for their pure consumption of. gore. These are the types of people who.

would willingly join the forensics. group. The forensics group is probably. the least visually graphic of all of the. groups on Telegram. Let me break it down. for you. You have the regular group. This is a very famous Chinese Telegram. group that Vice News infiltrated. The. regular group and the premium access. group. The premium access group has been. around for 4 to 5 years. So that's the. thing with Telegram group chats where. you're sharing illegal videos is that a. lot of the times they'll disappear, they'll make a new one, they'll. disappear, they'll make a new one. But. if you already paid for one and then it.

disappears a month later, then you're. [ __ ] out of luck. That money is wasted. Now you got to go pay to join another. group. So this premium access group, they brag about the fact that it's been. up for four to five years. So it's. [music] very stable. That's how they. market it. Stable premium access [music]. group. There's no reason to believe that. that group will be shut down anytime. soon. Then you have the ice love group. What's the ice love group? Anything. related to dumping bodies, body. detachments, necrophilia, that's in the. ice love group. >> Why is it called ice? >> We don't know.

>> Oh. >> yeah. But if you want to skip out on all. the blood, if you don't like all the. gore and you just like dead bodies, the. forensics group is where you want to go. It's quote pure clean bodies, mainly. mortuary footage. Welcome to an. underground snuff film Telegram group in. China. This is where the Vietnamese. butcher videos start circulating in. early 2025. pay-per-view [music]. in the form of an extensive video. package, photo package, 11 separate. videos, 98 separate photos that you can. either purchase limited access for for.

around $100, or you can get the full. package, unlimited access to all 11. videos, 98 photos for $600. >> So, you mentioned three videos. They. have more videos that they're posting. I. see. >> 11 videos. It's not until six months. later that the shortened videos, just. three of them, start circulating online. on a public website called Watch People. Die. Not the subreddit, but there's a. whole website where you can see things. that your brain probably never will be. able to forget. And then you'll have.

random thoughts of the imagery out of. nowhere when you're trying to enjoy it, like a nice sunny afternoon. That's that. website. So, they start posting three of. them. The disclaimer on this website, watchpeopled.tv, is when you enter this website is. exactly what it says in the name. This. is not a pleasant website. The content. is [music] tragic things happening to. real people with no filters. This is. horrific to see and frankly should not. be seen by anyone. However, it is legal. and we believe in allowing it to be seen. and shared by adults as a result. It. goes up and the three videos, the first.

one being rehearsal we talked about and. the caption along with the videos. The. three just reads, "Man has his very last. before he dies." Then you click on part. two of the trilogy, arguably the most. viral part, the execution. So you have. rehearsal, execution, and the third. installment is titled the butchering. execution. The second video starts in a. bathroom, not the office, but a random. bathroom. You start with the opposite. angle as the first video. So instead of. the phone camera being placed on the. ground looking upwards, you have the. camera looking downwards, getting a top-.

down view of this entire bathroom. The. bathroom itself is not particularly a. Zillow worthy room. It's just a toilet. on one side, a sink on the other side. There are tiled floors that look like. they have not been cleaned in a very. long time. There is a sheet of plastic. tarp laid [music] out. And the office. man, it's the same man cuz he wasn't. wearing a mask. We know this guy's face. He is laying on the plastic tarp and on. his back. And the similar looking wooden. chopping block is now underneath the. back of his head. He's using it almost. like a pillow.

>> So this is like a different date. >> It looks like a different day. Could be. later in the day. It's hard to tell. because um he's completely unclothed. He. has not a single piece of clothing on. him. We can't cross reference with the. pants or the dress shirt that he was. wearing in the office. He's fully naked, flat on his back, laying down in this. bathroom. [music] And this time, he. doesn't look like he's contemplative or. touching his neck or stressed or deep in. thought. Instead, he is in the throws of. ecstasy. He's like fully aggressively. self-pleasuring. And right as he's about.

to get to where he has been working so. diligently to get to, another man who we. can assume to be the mask man from the. first video comes into the frame fully. nude as well. He brings up a similar. meat cleaver from the first one. Except. this time, the meat cleaver does not. just hover over the office man's neck. It doesn't stop. Instead, it comes down. with a clean chop at the office man's. neck. Now, I don't know if it's the. sharpness of the meat cleaver or the way. that our bodies are built. The mass man.

has to make a few more precise, powerful. chops before he then just takes it upon. himself to fully drag and rip off. Um, >> oh my gosh. >> All the while, there's just like so much. blood under the office man on the. plastic tarp. It's incredibly graphic. The only saving grace, if there is any, to any of this is that the camera is. further away. It's a top- down view. And. if you really try to convince yourself, you may or may not be able to. successfully convince your brain that. this is just another horror movie. This. is like a gory horror movie. This is.

CGI. This is not real blood. It's. something else that's happening. But. then the video cuts to another angle. And this time it's it's like a B cam. It's off in the corner and it's it's. like you're laying next to office man. and he's still alive and it's a full. replay but from a close side up angle. very close to the office man's face and. neck and you can see every single bit of. it in replay. It almost feels slowed. down even when it's not because of the. graphic nature and [music] just how up. close things are. And then the camera. goes back to the top angle where you see.

the masked man that now people have. dubbed the butcher and he starts. dissecting the office man cutting. straight down the center vertically and. he just starts methodically. disassembling a human body bit by bit. piece by piece. I mean body parts are. being taken apart like a Lego just chunk. by chunk. Organs are transferred into. buckets that are put into like a water. bath. Limbs are placed into pots. You. can see pictures of small pale body. parts arranged on plates with chopsticks. resting on the side. There are other. pictures showing full-on cooking, the.

creation of a human soup finished with. healthy superfoods like goji berries, red dates. There's another dish that. resembles curry. Part three is the. butchering. It shows more in-depth of. the disassembly process. The private. parts of the victim are arranged on a. fresh, clean plate, like a Thanksgiving. dinner. The centerpiece is the. decapitated head. At one point, the. victim's private parts are inserted into. the victim's head. It just along with. other general depraved [music] acts.

There are some people online who state. that they saw a video of the butcher. placing the victim's head into a boiling. pot of water like a giant meatball. However, that video has not been widely. circulated. So, at this point, it's. debatable if it exists, but I don't. think that it would be surprising if it. did. The way that this victim is. meticulously taken apart and the way. that even the execution is carried out, it does not feel like someone's first. time, which makes people suspect. initially that this butcher is a. butcher. >> Mhm. >> That turns out not to be true. So, who. the hell is this butcher? And who's the.

office man who is self-pleasuring before. death? Who's the victim? What's. happening? Is this even real or is this. like a fake video? It would not be the. first time that a fake snuff film. circulated tricking the initial set of. viewers online when it goes public of. thinking that this is a real murder, which would make sense. I mean, considering there was a whole rehearsal. video, like you have a table read before. a movie filming. Maybe that is their. acting before the big act. The. collection of videos gets heavily. studied by the internet and they come to. the conclusion that no matter how. cynical, no matter how skeptical, there.

is no way that these videos are fake. These videos are very much real. There. are all these other details that start. getting noticed as people are combing. through to even just verify that these. videos are real. The minute that people. start analyzing the footage for what it. is, there are so many things that come. up. Firstly, you can hear in the video. pretty clear noises of motorcycles. passing by, dogs barking, which would. suggest that whatever is taking place in. this bathroom, this is probably in a. relatively busy area. It does not appear. to be in the middle of nowhere. Are we.

to assume then that this is taking place. in the middle of a busy residential. neighborhood? One comment online reads, "I've watched this video over and over, and when I listen, I could hear the. motorcycle was really loud and it wasn't. going slow either. It sounded like it. echoed quite a bit. I think this is. someone's house." Or maybe this is, you. know, I saw someone else online say that. this was a restaurant owner and this is. a restaurant bathroom, which would make. sense because they would have big. buckets and basins and iron tables and. bowls and chopsticks. So, is this. happening in a restaurant in a busy city.

area? So far, the theories are that the. butcher is either a real life butcher or. a restaurant owner. A restaurant owner. would also make sense because they would. be proficient in disassembling chunks of. meat. But that means that people are. under the impression that this is not. the butcher's first time butchering. large quantities of meat. Then you have. another group of nisonens that wonder, "What if it's not the butcher's first. time butchering humans? What if they're. not proficient at butchering large. animals, but what if they're just good. at butchering humans? If that's the.

case, how many times have they done this. before? And are they the only ones doing. this? Like, are there others? One of the. more distinguishing physical traits of. the butcher the whole time. A lot of the. times, he's naked and he's wearing a. face mask. So, instead of the anonymous. full face mask, he's wearing, you know, one of those COVID face masks, a medical. mask. And you can see a big part of his. body. There is a tattoo on his arm and. it reads that day 139. >> What does that mean? Do we know? >> Is that just a random number? Is that. some sort of initiation? Is that some. sort of code? Perhaps that's the day.

that he's initiated into this line of. work when this life begins for him. Some. say it's shorthand for 13K, which 13K. somehow relates to the price of. butchered pigs on Vietnamese social. media. So perhaps he is a real life pig. farmer, pig butcher. Others say this. could be an identifying number for his. videos. If this video has been. circulating on Telegram group chats and. there's an organization of people who. kill people and create snuff film video. content, how do you know who's the.

killer in each one? Because they need to. get paid. So this tattoo 139. Maybe he's. killer 139 139 because this could just. be a giant snuff film ring that the. internet just uncovered. >> [music]. >> There is something so exciting about. January. That spark of ambition that you. have been carrying for months and maybe. years.

Hear the sound of your first sale this. new year with Shopify by your side. >> [music]. >> A very strong argument could be made. that one of the most disturbing ways to. start a book is you flip open the page. and the main character is talking in. depth about how she watches JFK's. assassination footage over and over and. watches the part where Jackie Kennedy is. having the worst day of her life. scrambling to pick up the pieces of her.

husband and how the main character. thinks about this every day in order to. reach the pinnacle of pleasure. Like. that would be a really good argument if. you told me that is the worst way to. start a book. I would not argue with. you. That's precisely how the Japanese. manga Applicant for Death starts. Main. girl spends multiple pages describing. how much she likes the idea of basically. being murdered. At one point, another. woman appears. I don't know who this. woman is, but she starts rehearsing how. it will be done. [music] And the main. girl reaches the point of sheer.

happiness that none of us could probably. relate to. And eventually, she is shot, but she's still alive. and she is. playing with her brain matter while the. other woman is playing with other things. and she reaches her destination before. finally arriving to the point of no. return, death. However, that is where. the video ends and the manga cuts to a. guy watching the computer screen he's. getting off on this and the female. executioner tells the audience and she's. breaking the fourth wall mid murder. We. only sell the rest of the footage to. people who can keep quiet and pay.

enough. We'll check up on you. Even if. you order, we'll just send you a generic. video. This video is not for sale to the. general public. >> Wait, I'm so sorry. This is still We're. still in the manga right now. So, in the. manga, a guy is watching this girl doing. all of this on his computer screen. And. in his computer screen, they're talking. to each other, so it's okay. Wow. >> And the guy behind the computer screen. is getting frustrated because he wants. to see the rest of the video. But the. female executioner continues, "Depending. on the results of our investigation, we. may give it to other people free of.

charge." She continues that the people. in the video are not leaving this world. because of illness or pain or debt. They're doing it for pleasure, for. [music] desire. She says, "We can give. you the experience you long for. I'm. waiting for your call." And the guy. starts fantasizing about it and it. somehow his sister gets involved who. they start having relations and then. eventually he calls the executioner to. come and kill him. And he just uh the. whole setup is he wants his sister to. watch him die and he's going to have.

intimate relations with the female. executioner. And right as he's reaching. that point, his sister who is on standby. with a giant sword is going to cut his. head off. And this manga and the rules. of human anatomy and the limitations of. modern medicine do not apply because. once his head is cut off, he's still. alive. So he's like watching his body. still finish relations with this female. executioner and then his sister decides. that he's she's going to have relations. with his body and the female executioner.

is now holding the sword and then kills. his sister and so now she places the. brother's head and the sister's head. next to each other apart from their. bodies and their bodies are still doing. things and the heads are making out. This is like a 40page manga. I I didn't. know so much could happen in 40 pages. it started progressing into more and. more alarming territory. And to my. amazement, it never ceased to just stop. being disturbing. This was translated. into English. This was also translated. into Vietnamese. And we know this.

because there is an online content forum. that primarily focuses on posting brutal. sexual content. And it had posted. applicant for death. The manga gets. translated from Japanese into. Vietnamese. And the poster writes, "Translated per the request of Mr. Dat. beheading. The internet will soon. uncover that Mr. Dat beheading is the. office man in the Vietnamese butcher. videos. The one who was killed. So, he. specifically asked for this Japanese.

manga to be translated into Vietnamese. >> H. Okay. Do we know if it's real? That. was a real thing before this whole thing. blew up. >> Mhm. >> I see. I see. So, people went to the. backlog and found this history, right? >> He has an extensive history we're going. to get into. And I think a lot of that. um begs this big question in this case. that I don't necessarily think is a. question but a lot of people have posed. it which is what exactly are we allowed. to give consent to? What if someone. wants to remove their leg in a safe. manner? There is a real condition called. BID. It's where someone with healthy.

limbs feels a profound feeling and. belief that they [music] need to. amputate typically a leg or both legs or. perhaps an arm in order to feel whole. They feel that these limbs are healthy, yes, but they're foreign. And every. second that they live with this foreign. limb, it drives them insane. But you. can't just amputate your leg in the. kitchen and hope for the best, which is. where the debate comes in. How much are. we allowed to have control over our own. bodies? How much are we allowed to go to. a doctor and say, "Can you please cut. off my leg? Can you consent to that? Can.

the doctor do it? Do the rules apply?". But the doctor is not supposed to cause. harm. And objectively, they could argue. that this would be causing harm to your. life. But you could argue no in fact. having this leg is causing harm to my. life. There's a lot of debate on this. I. I mean it's very rare condition. So the. debate is not extensive. I will say some. really messed up people have extended. this debate to include um transgender. community members. I don't think that. applies for this. It's specifically. there is a huge argument of well if you.

lose a leg and you choose to amputate. your leg then you are now viable for. disability checks. Now the taxpayers are. paying for something that you have to. live with for the rest of your life and. you have to continue getting probably. in-house care for an extended period of. time. So there's like all this debate. along with that. There's just a lot in. that. It's completely separate from any. other debate. It's just that how much. can you be in control of your own body. and to what extent? And then how can you.

say it stops there? What if you take it. a step further? What if you just don't. even want your leg to be gone? You want. someone to eat it and you consent to it. and you find someone who also consents. to eating it. Is that a crime? What if. in a hypothetical world there are no. quote unquote victims? You sign a waiver. that you will never sign up for. disability checks. You sign a waiver. that you will never ask the government. or the community members for assistance. And you consent that no one will ever. see this footage. No one will ever know.

what happens. You are privately in your. own personal home. You cut off a piece. of your thigh and you give it to your. beloved significant other for them to. consume for dinner. Is there a crime. that is committed? Yes or no? Because is. there a victim? Can you have a. victimless crime? That is the whole. debate and we can probably go on for the. next 24 48 hours, the next 5 business. days, and I don't know if everyone is. going to come to an agreement. There is. a post on an online forum though where. you can ask people to solve your life's.

biggest problems. The post reads, "How. long does it take to fatten a long pig? Months? Years? I'm interested in. fattening a long pig right now 125 lbs. to eat. How much should I fatten her for. for the best eating? And what do I use. to fatten her?" I didn't know this, but. apparently some Europeans call humans. long pigs because we are longer than a. pig, but we apparently taste like pork. [music] humans. That post was um on the. now defunct Cannibal Cafe forum, which. I'm sure if you've been interested in. any sort of true crime cases for a.

while, you know about the very infamous. Cannibal Cafe case of the German. cannibal who murdered and killed his. victim to be eaten. I mean, this is a. forum where half the people want to be. eaten and the other half are very, very. hungry. Another post reads, "Anyone need. a blonde girl for the main course dish. to eat? See my email and write. I will. show you my delicious meat. Another one. rants about how men just aren't. cannibals anymore. The post reads, "Looks like these aren't real cannibals. on here. The kind of cannibal that would. actually go for a hunt for a female.

captive to capture and prepare and roast. and eventually eat. Probably some male. cannibal wannabes on here, but they're. held down by the leashes of their wives. and kids and girlfriends. The website. Cannibal Cafe is now down after, like I. said, the very famous German cannibal. murdered and cannibalized his victim in. 2001. That's where they met. But one. would have to assume that like this has. to be a very small portion of the. population that's interested in this. But it's a lot more than you would. think. One post on Reddit reads, "I'm a. girl with cannibalism fetish. Ask me.

anything." The top comment is, "So, is. it you eating other humans or being. eaten by other humans or both?" She. responds, "Good question. It's primarily. me eating other people. The idea of. other people eating me is pretty. unsettling. or I'll often times. fantasize about feeding my boyfriend. other people and occasionally it'll be. me cutting off his limbs and forcing him. to eat his own limbs. God damn it, he's. probably going to read all of this. On a. separate Reddit thread, you know, someone writes, "I get the idea of.

someone wanting to eat human flesh as a. specialized interest, like a fantasy. imagination." I mean, I get it. I mean, I don't get it, but I get it. Quote, "I. understand the appeal. Like I don't like. it, but I get where it's coming from. just like any other crazy thing. Okay, so anyway, I made a post about. cannibalism some time ago. I deleted it, but I got a DM from a really weird guy. and he somehow assumed that I had a. cannibalism fetish from the post, which. I don't have. And he said to me. something like, "He's so unlucky because.

none of the women he meets likes. cannibalism, and he would be willing to. travel to me to be cooked in an oven and. be eaten by me." He even described how. he wants to be served and what foods he. wants to be paired with. He said that he. wants to be a human pig and cooked like. a pig. He eventually started sending me. pictures. I didn't even want to look at. all of them because I was disgusted. Anyway, is that noting weird? I just. don't get what could be the possible. motivation or appeal of being eaten. That is a post on Reddit. One response. puts it pretty simply. It's just about.

being predator and prey. That's it. But. that doesn't stop people from looking. into this Vietnamese butcher case. Like. I said, the Facebook group called Osent. and Cyber Investigations in Vietnam. They kickstart this entire. investigation. And the only other clear. indicator in these videos that made. public was that it was most likely. filmed in Vietnam. The language being. spoken is Vietnamese between the victim. and the butcher. And they take it upon. themselves, this Facebook group, to. investigate. The at this point, the. police are not investigating. Nobody is.

except Osent. and they're the ones that. release this 100page document into the. whole world that's translated into. English. So, the first order of business. is finding who the victim is. That's. probably easier because somebody is. gone. That means there must be others. who are looking for that person, posting. missing person's flyers. It's harder to. find a killer. It's easier to find a. missing loved one. >> His face is out there, right? >> Yeah, that's the logic. So, Osen starts. looking into forums in Vietnam that have. to do with wanting to be consumed, wanting to be killed. Yes, they went.

through the missing person's thing. They. didn't find him. No one was actively. searching for him. So, they start going. into these beheading forums with extreme. interest. And in one of them, they find. someone that looks like the victim. And. he gives his phone number. And using. that phone number, they're able to find. different accounts on different. platforms. And one even lists his. birthday as March 10th, 1989. >> Wo. >> So, now we know that this victim is 36. years old, which tracks with his. appearance in the videos. and all of his.

accounts have some variation of the. username. dat and beheading. And out of all the. websites that we've talked about in this. episode, Motherless is probably one of. the worst ones. You can't even link. Motherless on Reddit. It's banned. It's. not just a shitty place to go. There's. speculation that because of the sheer. amount of illegal content that was. allegedly posted on there that the FBI. actually uses it as a honeypot, meaning. the feds are most likely monitoring it. and anyone who visits too often and.

searching the very specific videos are. potentially being tracked by the feds. It has been uncovered that the victim. had a motherless account where he would. share a bunch of photos and videos that. revolve around the themes of cannibalism. and being beheaded. AI generated clips. of hooded masked men [music] tying up. women and using sharp objects on them to. eat them. And from there, the online. detectives just continue to dig and they. find out the victim's full name is when. swan dot. So that is dat. So it's not.

like in English where it's like that. beheading but instead of t h a t you use. d a t. It's just part of his name. >> Wow. But when is what we're going to. call him when goes on to create multiple. different accounts to join forums to. talk about this Final Fantasy where he. is going to be beheaded. A lot of his. accounts were created back in 2019. So. this is like a six-year endeavor that. he's been on. One of his accounts just. read, "I love beheading. I also want to. lose my head with an axe or a sword.".

And there's also indications that this. probably was way before 2019 his. interest started. There was this online. group called Girls Beheading Lover and. they post in 2018. Anybody like. roleplaying about beheadings? Inbox me. only girls. When responds, can you. connect with me? Are you a male or a. female? I'm a male, but I want to have. my head beheaded by a female. executioner. When responds to another. post in 2022 that reads, is anyone in. Hai interested in the topic of. beheading? Looking to chat with someone. about it. If interested, please inbox. me. Another person responds to that.

post, I want to die. Seriously. when. responds, "Are you for real? If so, please inbox me to discuss." It would. not be an overexaggeration to say that. Wen seems obsessed with the idea of. being beheaded and killed. He even. requested the applicant for death manga. to be translated into Vietnamese. I. mean, this manga is very interesting. because it could more or less the. fantasy that the victim ultimately. settles on feels very reminiscent of. this manga. Even having the head pulled. and then placed to watch the rest of the.

body kind of mirrors the manga. >> By the way, one you say one of the. person online posted say I wanted to die. and he responded, "Oh, please email me.". >> Yeah. >> So, he's interested in. >> No, he's only interested in um being the. victim, but he likes to connect with. people with like minds so that they can. talk about their fantasy together. And a. lot of the reason that this case gained. traction in uncovering details was. friends of when online friends who had.

similar interest would share messages. that they had with Wen. Like one from. 2023, his post reads, "Offering my head, but no one is taking it." And then the. next year in 2024, he posts again, "Offering my head, waiting for someone. to take it." So for years, since at. least 2019, he has been begging for. someone to partake in this final fantasy. of his. But it's not until January of. 2025 this year he gets someone he well. actually last year sorry of last year he.

gets someone to do what he's hoping for. when post on Facebook 3 hours left until. the execution. So yes the internet the. netizens they find the victim but that's. not enough. They need to find the killer. because the killer could be finding. their next victim. They could be doing. this for money. This could be there. could be multiple people who have gone. missing that nobody is looking for that. they have done the same exact thing to. So, even though they found Wen, they. still have no idea who the masked man, who the butcher is, and they need to. comb through all the evidence. He's. wearing a blue face mask in this photo.

where he's holding up one's head, severed head in the mirror, and you can. see his eyes, eyebrows, his forehead. that's showing. He looks middle-aged. He. clearly has a receding hairline. He has. distinct scars on his eyebrow area that. nizens have pinpointed, analyzed, stared. at, studied. He's also shirtless. You. see that a good chunk of his torso, he. has a very stocky build. He's got a. birth mark that goes near his armpit on. one arm. Then on the other arm, you have. that tattoo, the distinctive that day.

139. That's it. That's it. How are they. going to find the butcher with just. that? And they need to find him quick. because it seems like the butcher has. taken over Wen's account on Facebook and. is looking for new victims. Is now. messaging Wen's friends who have shared. interest asking them questions about. their fantasies. Oh, so now he's active. >> He's active. >> on W's account. >> Yes. >> Huh. >> And other people are coming forward. saying, "Hey, yes, when had this. fantasy, but he was not doing well.". Like, this is an he was clearly a. victim. One alleged friend of W's, we're.

going to call them friend number one, post a screenshot of messages that they. had with Wen before his passing. And Wen. is messaging, "Not only am I ugly, but. I'm also full of diseases. I can't. afford to live freely like a normal. person. I have to depend on my parents. for the rest of my life. I mean, I'm. completely useless. What other choice do. I have? I truly am a prisoner of my own. fate. If it wasn't because of God, I. would have met the end already. I just. want to meet someone that once we become. close enough, they would just kill me. When writes again, I want to meet. someone who can me and then kill me.

right after. Which has netizens. thinking, at this point, the butcher. should have just helped when instead of. killing him, he should have just gotten. him help. But the most interesting thing. to come out of this, the most valuable. piece of information is people start. messaging this person asking for more. information about when. Like if you were. that close with, can you tell us. anything else? And they state, "Well, when was pretty normal? We only met. once, maybe for like 30 minutes.". Really? When was that that you guys met? Was it a long time ago? He just was.

spending the 30 minutes to talk about. how he liked having group activities. with other men. He showed me a video of. himself performing oral on a man. I. mean, I can say this though. Wen's. fetish for wanting to be beheaded is. very real. But the most valuable piece. of information is this anonymous friend. tells the Osent, the online. investigators, I know the name of the. butcher. He goes by the name Chung. >> Wow. >> C H U N G. And as the investigators are. getting closer to figuring out who the. butcher is, [music] a post pops up on.

their Facebook group. I am the. executioner. Who can catch me? Then. another post from a different account. So now this is a different account and. it's a picture of someone's meal and it. appears to be a plate of meat and. [music] some soup and some noodles. Come. on, it's just a few pieces of human. meat. It's unclear if this is real human. meat. It's unclear if anything. [music]. But within an hour of this picture going. up, it gets taken down. So is this. really the butcher? Is the butcher. scared? The netizens, are they getting. closer to figuring out who the butcher. is? So they're freaking out. So in the. final installment of the snuff film.

trilogy titled Butchering, it looks like. it's being filmed in a kitchen. And on. one side you have half of a plastic. water bottle. It's called Lavi. So at. this point the online netizens are like. we know for sure this is happening in. Vietnam. These are not Vietnamese like. diaspora in other parts of the world. because yes in the video they're. speaking Vietnamese but that doesn't. mean that they have to live in Vietnam. I can speak Korean but I'm in the United. States. But this water bottle is. specifically sold in Vietnam. So they're. like okay this is happening in Vietnam.

But also on top of that they find like. these very mundane little trivial. inconsequential pieces of items. There's. a bottle of dish soap. The netzens have. discovered that this is really only sold. in the northern area of Vietnam. How do. they know this? Because the dish soap is. [music] Chinese. It's like a very cheap. Chinese brand and the northern part of. Vietnam borders China. So they really. only sell this in that area. >> because they have Vietnamese dish soap. in all the other areas. >> [music]. >> Yeah. >> So, this is like very easy to bring.

across the border or like people will go. up there and buy it and then bring it. back. So, they're like this is. definitely only on the northern part of. Vietnam. So, people start pinpointing it. down that way. Okay. So, not only is it. just Vietnam, it's on the northern part. of Vietnam. And then we've got all of. these things in the kitchen. So, the. kitchen doors are this weird avocado. green color that's very specific and. unique. I mean, there's got to be. something. So, as they're hunting that. down, another YouTube channel pops up. They have been investigating this. diligently from the very beginning.

They're called Ketto Mo, which. translates to the curious one. They went. as far to try and reconstruct the scene. of the crime. But because with the. suspected homicide taking place in. January of this year with videos being. circulated later in July and then just. radio silence, a lot of people thought. that this was almost like an urban. legend. It's just going to go down as. one of those internet things we never. get the answer to. but he somehow is. able to track and he says, "I think I. know who the butcher is." And he posts a. picture of who he believes is the.

butcher. So, this is a picture that he. got on someone's personal Facebook. account and he photoshopped a mask on. and then compared it to the butchering. video and it looks like the same person. It looks like the same person, but this. is where it's weird. It looks like the. same person does not feel like the same. person. Clearly, in the one that was. from his personal Facebook page, his. face is relaxed. He looks like a like a. happy guy. In the other one, he looks. like a killer, but you can see the. facial features. They're all very. similar. The smile lines, the eye shape,

the eyebrows, the scar above his. eyebrow, everything feels exactly the. same. Now, the curious one, the. YouTuber, releases a statement that he's. going to be withdrawing from this. investigation and that the perpetrator. is in a high position of power. And just. know that if anything happens to this. YouTuber, every single piece of. information that he's dug up, he's got. like a kill switch, if you will. It's. going to go public. >> Wait, so he dropped this high power. individual's identity basically. >> just photo. >> But with that photo, you can find out. who he is, wouldn't it? >> Yes. More importantly, he drops a.

screenshot of the individual's social. media account and he blurs out the name, but people are very easily able to. unblur it. And the username is Ton. Chung111. >> Chun. >> Chun. People [clears throat] start. cross-referencing that username with all. the different social media platforms and. they find a lot. The two of them, Wen. and the Butcher, seem to have crossed. paths on a gay group chat called likes. beheading. When is really active in the. chat saying things like, "I want to be.

beheaded. I volunteer to be beheaded.". There's additionally a supposed leak. message thread between Wen and a friend. of his where Wen sends them a picture of. his head on a chopping board. He He's. alive. And he writes, "I'm ready.". Waiting for the time. His friend. responds, "Who's going to do it?". "Chung?" "No, another person." "Why. don't you just let Chung do it?" Waiting. around for Chong is difficult. What do. you mean? He agreed, but he keeps. pushing and delaying the time. The. potential suspect, the butcher, their. social media history is also pretty.

extensive. It's also very interesting to. see how somebody's interest and taste. evolve over time. It starts off with. skattology, which is a pretty high. entrance for specialized interests, but. there's a post that reads, "Anyone here. eat in the game? You want to be the. eater or the maker?" To which the. suspected butcher responds, "The [ __ ]. maker." In 2022, the suspected butcher. posts pictures on a forum showing up. dismembered pieces of a body. He claims. that this is just [music] like a scary. themed horror post. This is just to get.

everyone to toughen up through the usage. of gore, but it's not real. However, it. is theorized now that this could very. well be a victim before when he also. continues to post pictures of what. appears to be men's private parts that. have been taken off the body. One of. them is delicately spray painted in. gold. It's unclear if this is like an. artistic piece that he found, if he made. it, or if this is a real human body part. that he's used to create this. He likes. a ton of other posts that have to do. with eating meat and specifically the.

purchasing of dismembered male private. parts. >> He's buying them. He's selling them. And. I don't know. >> dark web. >> No, just like on Twitter, on these. forums. I mean, people will write things. like how I need to castrate myself. I. need money. How much for all my. privates? And he'll say, DM me. I want. it all. I want to eat it so bad. Now, I. don't know if this is some sort of. roleplay that's happening on social. media if people are just engaging in.

this stranger to stranger fake fantasy. land or if he truly is purchasing a lot. of these male body parts. I wouldn't be. surprised judging by the fact that. somebody is dead and somebody was killed. on camera. But it's just very strange. how there is a large community of people. doing this. It's not even just one. person and it's not even on the down. low. These are just out and about on. regular publicly accessible forums. talking about how they want to purchase. sometimes one ball, two balls, the whole. set. He also talks about how he wants.

hands and feet stewed with bamboo shoots. and a male body part stewed with. lemongrass and chili. And the way that. he writes about it, it seems like he's. talking about food that he's eaten. before. It doesn't seem like, "Oh, let. me use my imagination. I think this. would taste good." the answers and. responses to these inappropriate. messages online seem very firm and. confident as if this is his favorite. dish. Other times he just gets straight. to the point. There will be people. posting inappropriate videos and I. didn't click on them cuz I was scared of.

the links, but um they seem to be. inappropriate videos. I don't know if. there's cannibalism in the topic of the. video, but they seem like you're. run-of-the-mill inappropriate X-rated. videos. And he's just DMing these. creators. I want to kill you so bad. I. really want to kill you. So, at this. point, people start digging and digging. and digging, and they find other. accounts that are related to Ton Chung, and they realize that Ton Chung is a. young kid, a kid in his 20s, a kid to. wealthy parents. There's a picture of. him sitting on a sidewalk in front of.

his family-owned red Mercedes. But more. importantly, this kid is wearing a. distinct athletic tracksuit with yellow. stripes going down the sides, exactly. like the one from the rehearsal video. Wait, but in the rehearsal video, it. wasn't a young kid, was it? >> I mean, the whole face is covered up, but I will say that they seem a lot more. stocky in the video, but he maybe this. young kid just edits his photos. But the. frustrating part is in the other two. videos, the execution and the. butchering, you can clearly see that. this is a middle-aged man. This kid is.

clearly not middle-aged, so how can they. be the same person? But if it's not the. same person, how are there so many. similarities? Someone drives by the. house that Ton Chong apparently lives. in, this 23-year-old, and they take. pictures as they're driving by. And. right outside, you see a pair of. slippers outside the front door. The. butcher is seen in the video wearing the. exact same slippers. I mean, maybe it's. a very common pair of slippers, but. still, all of this is just a growing. list of coincidences, but still, it. doesn't answer the fact that there's no.

way that a 20some yearear-old is also a. middle-aged man at the same time. Osent. does more digging and they notice that. with every platform that Ton Chong is. on. There is another account that is. always closely associated and it's not. like they're always interacting, but. they're always following each other on. every platform. Dan Sang. They go to Dan. Sang's account. This is [music] a. middle-aged man with a scar above his. eyebrow and a big birthark on his arm. Dan Sang resembles the butcher, at least.

to the best of netisen knowledge. So, how is it that everyone originally. thought that Ton Chong was the butcher? Are there two butchers? Is this like a. whole operation with multiple people. involved? If you go to Ton Chong's. profile, you'll see that he was born. September 13th, 2002. Everywhere else in. the world, >> they do day, month, year. >> That's his dad. >> Yes. [music] 13th of September would be. 139. The tattoo on the butcher is that. day. 23-year-old Tan Chung is not the.

butcher. His dad is. and his dad has. been using his son's name to create. online profiles to join these group. chats where they fantasize about killing. and eating people. It's the dad. >> Wow. So, but is the son a part of it? Does he. >> The son does not appear to be a part of. it in any way? It seems like he found. out after the fact and after the fact it. seems he's on his dad's side. Whether he. believes that his dad is innocent, whether he believes, well, the victim. asked for it and my dad was just doing.

what he asked for. Why is that such a. big deal? I don't know what his. mentality is, but it does seem from very. limited evidence on social media of him. reposting like memes that he is in some. support of his dad. >> So, the dad's wearing his son's clothes. >> Seems like they share clothes, >> huh? >> And the dad is not just a random person. He is the former deputy head of market. management department number four, which. sounds like he works at a supermarket, but it's not. This is basically a huge. government entity that enforces and.

inspects all of the commercial. activities in a local area. It's a. business department of an entire. community. This man has a wife. He has. two sons. I wouldn't go as far to say. that he's a great dad, even if I didn't. know of this crime. If he has a cup in. his kitchen that reads best dad in the. world, that cup is a liar. He seems. normal, but he's just like on his. personal account, he posts a picture of. abalone porridge, but the piece of. abalone, which if you guys know abalone, it's it's like a shellfish where it's.

really good for you. It has a lot of. health benefits, but it looks it's like. maybe two fingers and it's slimy. It's. like a giant muscle, like a clam, like a. giant clam, a giant muscle, but. definitely thicker and chewier in. texture. just look-wise, if you haven't. seen what abalone looks like, however, like a muscle, all the sides, the sides. are flat. They're smooth, they're flat, and then the edges, they have like the. muscle texture with like the the ridges. that come up and get a little chewy. But. this one, it doesn't. The side is not. flat. It has an opening that is very.

reminiscent of a female body part. Now, some people have mentioned that abalone. in general does resemble female body. parts, but this when you see it, I mean, this doesn't resemble an abalone. Perhaps abalone looks different in. different parts of the world. Perhaps. this is a faulty abalone or someone who. messed with an abalone to make it. resemble a detached female body part. I. don't know. I saw the picture of it. >> So he posted on Facebook and he titled. it abalone porridge or he just posted. that photo. >> He just posted the photo and it's I.

don't know. I mean I can't imagine that. he would post it if it was a crime. But. then then again, I don't know. on his. own personal account, he was posting the. gold mail private parts that looked. somewhat artistic, >> right? So, okay. So, he's pretty blatant. about this. >> Yes. He's also just not a family guy. He. posted a whole biography of a Japanese. adult actress talking about her. childhood and then how she gets. recruited into the industry. Just. everything about her. I mean, this is a.

dad and a man who works for the. government. He's actually retired. earlier this well earlier last year in. 2025, but it was that he was still. working in January. And this is very. important. Once people find out that. it's the dad, they start going through. all of his personal accounts and he has. a ton of those like old people videos. where they're just. >> so far everything you said is like re. real time discovery in the last few. months by the internet. >> Yes. The police are not investigating. >> until like everything was crystal clear. The police came in.

>> Mhm. Not even was it just crystal clear, it became so crystal clear and this man. is in a government position working as. the deputy head of market management. There was outrage. I feel like the. arrest only happened because people were. able to figure out this is a government. official and people were super pissed. about it. >> Had it not been, I don't know if an. arrest would have been made. >> cuz you were saying like when this came. out there was a lot of suppressing, right? Like nobody can even talk about. it publicly. Wow. And then I think that.

some people I will say that there were a. lot of ignorant nonVietnamese people who. probably added to it which I think a lot. of people were suppressed and could not. talk about it. And then I think the. people that did want to talk about it a. lot of Westerners would be like this is. why you can't go to Vietnam cuz I don't. know we're dumb over here. >> I see. >> So then it just made it all worse. It's. like I don't know. Have you ever read. the news in America? We're not doing so. hot. Maybe we should worry about our own. problems before saying stuff like that. But you get the idea. Now, the rehearsal.

video, it was filmed in some sort of. office. And this is very important. because all of this people were able to. cross check and they realized that all. the butchering videos happened inside of. government buildings, the offices in. which he was working, the rehearsal. video, even the misalignment of the. cabinets. It's in the background of one. of his own personal photos that he was. filming outside of the office. The. kitchen is part of a government. building. The green avocado shutter.

doors, the kitchen tiles with the white. and the blue little clover designs, that. is all a government building. The. bathroom is a government building. >> How does he have no fear of, you know, he posts these on Facebook and then he's. doing this whole operation inside? I. guess he thought that these photos and. videos would only circulate on Telegram, which at that point, if your coworker is. on Telegram purchasing these videos, then maybe you just find a friend in the. game. You don't find someone who's going.

to rat you out. >> It's impossible for him to be this. bossy. If this is his first time. >> doing something like this, >> what makes it even worse is it was timed. to perfection. It seems that when is. murdered near the end of January, January 25th, 2025 to be exact. That. would be the perfect window of. opportunity because Lunar New Year is. January 26, 2025. There is a 7 to 10 day. holiday in Vietnam and a lot of Asia. where nobody goes into the office. The. office would have been completely. deserted.

>> Wow. >> So with that, November 28th, an arrest. is finally made. The believed butcher. Dwan Sang is arrested. Authorities. allegedly find bone fragments in pipes. and drains, three teeth found under the. sink. But more importantly, he just. confesses. He ends up admitting to what. he's done. He manages to be a victim. blamer the entire way through. He states. that he met Wen online and Wen is the. one that gets him wrapped up in all this. dark stuff that Wen repeatedly gets him. introduced into beheadings and all of.

this dark interest of extreme groups, which he naturally did not want. He said. he was repulsed by it. But when kept. asking him and finally it's when that. convinces him to commit these atrocious. acts against when. But after when he. does the very normal common sense thing. of separating the body into bones, flesh. and organs. He boils the parts to help. with decomposition and odor. For the. bones, he smashes them, pulverizes them. And for the flesh, he places them into. 10 plastic bags and then feeds them to. wild dogs, stray dogs. As for the meat.

cleavers that he used, he got rid of. them. And he still tries to play this. all off as if this is his first time and. he was just convinced into doing this by. when. >> Wow. >> And as for when netizens were able to. find which village he was from and they. called the village head. They do confirm. that there was a guy with the same name, same age. A few years ago his dad passed. away and he ran away from the village. His mom has really severe mental health.

struggles and that seems to be why no. one has been looking for him. And it. seems like that is where we are with the. Vietnamese butcher case. I think it's. crazy that none of this would have been. discovered without netizens. I think the. fact that this was just posted on not. even like the dark web is so unsettling. But what are your thoughts? Have you. guys heard of this case before? >> Let me know in the comments. >> I don't know. Do you think he they're. going to find out more histories of him. or this is probably the only case. they're going to be?

>> I would not doubt that there are more. victims. I don't think they're going to. look. >> What are your thoughts? Let me know in. the comments and I'll see you in the. next one.
