Crimewatch 2012 EP7 | A Brutal Murder

He robbed. He stabbed. He demanded for a ransom. See how officers from the Criminal Investigation Department solved this brutal murder, where a taxi driver was stabbed and dumped in a forested area in Sembawang.
The highly decomposed body was located 7 days after the murder. Armed with very little information, the officers apprehended the murderer before he could leave Singapore.

This must be one of the worst ways to die. Decent man trying to scrape a living but his fate led him to call out to the man who would end his life. Could have been anybody but just really bad luck for the taxi driver. The murderer doesn't even know why he wanted to kill the taxi driver and just dumped him to rot in the forest.

That's no way that northern Chinese are speaking like that, the accents are completely different than the re anactment role. Mostly from local Singapore plays a role to be like Chinese. You will see difference if you have watched CCTV broadcast before.

@@kampiuben Exactly, real mainland Chinese would normally say such word like this (干什么 or 干啥) Not (做什么). Obviously, this Singaporean actor never have watched one of the CCTV from mainland china but he tried harder to say so. Aside of that, he also pronounce taxi in Mandarin was completely wrong. Indeed, (的士) is normally where only Hong Kongers said it. In the most correct way to pronounced taxi(出租车) where majorities of mainlanders said it every day.
