Lam Kor-wan

Lam Kor-wan (Chinese: 林過雲; Jyutping: lam4 gwo3 wan4; born 22 May 1955) is one of Hong Kong's most notorious serial killers.

[1] In December 1962, Lam returned to Hong Kong with his family and moved into his own home in Kwun Tong,[2] where he attended a government elementary school, usually in the top ten.

He was arrested after he threatened a woman with a knife and touched her lower body with his hand near a public toilet in Hok Yuen Street, Hung Hom.

Lam, who worked as a taxi driver, would pick up female passengers, strangle them with electrical wire, take them to his family home, and dismember them.

His English moniker, "The Jars Murderer", was coined when the police revealed that he had hoarded sexual organs in Tupperware containers.

The body was later washed down the Shing Mun River by heavy rain and floated to the area between Fo Tan, Lucky Plaza and Belair Gardens, all located in Sha Tin District, New Territories.

This time, Lam used a surgical scalpel to dismember the victim and cut off both breasts and the entire pubic area for embalming.

[5] 29-year-old street cleaner Leung Sau-wan got off work outside in Nathan Road at 4 a.m. on 17 June 1982 and took a taxi driven by Lam.

In order to facilitate "work", Lam put the camcorder on a bed and used the selfie function to take pictures of his actions.

Lam claimed that he handcuffed Leung's hands and strangled her with an electric cord after talking to her in a cab about school, her future, her family, religion, and her soul, and then took the body home to rape and dismember it.

On 8 April 1983, at the end of a long three-week trial with a seven-man jury, Lam was found guilty of four counts of murder and sentenced to death by hanging.

[3] The victims were identified by two lecturers from the Prince Philip Dental Hospital, part of the University of Hong Kong, who created and perfected a new system of photo-superimposition.
