The Tan Children Murders

Welcome back to Mystery Monday
This is a sad case, and one that was hard for me to get through and talk about.
In 1979, four children were senselessly murdered.... here is their story.
The more we raise awareness about these cases, the more we keep them in our minds, the more likely that someone somewhere might hear, see or find out something that could crack the case.

I feel like them being able to have another baby despite everything was Justice in a way. The killer may have avoided the law, but he didn't win. His goal was to end their bloodline and because of their perserverance, he was unsuccessful. I hope they find peace in that

[@susiechoban1542]

I’m not going to say these children were murdered. Their faces were slashed, the little boy’s arm was almost severed, they were stacked on top of each other like garbage... They were butchered. For the first time among the many of your true crime videos, I’m crying. Their last moments were filled with utter fear and pain. I can’t begin to understand how someone could just walk in and butcher these small children. And seeing what they suffered through, I am 100% sure they screamed. You can’t get slashed in the face and not shriek, you can’t have your arm slashed so much that it is almost severed and not scream. People heard them, and nobody did anything - not even the police. I hope they all suffer from their heinous crime of inaction while four little children were butchered. I hope they haven’t been able to have a single moment of peace in the last 40 years. They are all complicit in this slaughter, and I can only hope that they will all be prosecuted to the full extent of Singaporean law soon.

[@izzykyl]

The murderer is almost definitely still alive as of 2019. The murderer might already be in his old age, but he still should be given a death sentence.

I also wondered how he ( Uncle) was able to kill all 4 without someone hearing. They must have been screaming.

[@izzykyl]

I am the older brother of a young girl. I am 17 and she is 11. We live in Singapore too, just not in Geylang Bahru, although my mother used to live on the outskirts of Geylang Bahru during the time when the Tan children were murdered. If anyone dared to enter our house to commit such a heinous crime, I would definitely fight back too. Kok-Peng was only 10 years old and was not physically strong enough to fight off a murderer, but I am almost twice his age and certainly much stronger than him. I also go to the gym regularly, on alternate days, putting all the focus into bulking my arms and shoulders to make them strong enough for fighting. I keep 2 pocket knives, 1 can of aerosol, 1 circular slingshot that uses almost anything as a projectile, all in my bedroom, in case of a home invasion.

The kids were adorable, and I just feel so sad about this right now. They were such good kids getting up and getting ready themselves so their family could work to make ends meet. And the parents seemed like really good hard working people :(. It did have a good ending which I didn't expect. These kids will be in my thoughts always. When Lee Mei Ying managed to reverse the sterilisation 5 years after the incident a baby boy was born - seems that year would have been 1984, same as my birth year. I hope the parents had some happiness after this horrible tragedy.

[@Alex-sv7vt]

One thing to point out is that them calling the man 'Uncle' doesn't mean much. Singapore people call older men/women Uncle/Auntie, like yojr friends' parents. But that aside, he clearly had a more personal relationship with the family. He seems like the best target.

[@StephanieHarlowe]

He was def over there a lot, huh?

[@naiyacarmen7599]

I was watching this late at night on earbuds with my husband sleeping next to me. I do this often when I can't sleep. I was watching so intently and it's all dark and spooky so when something fell right at the perfect moment I screamed like I was watching a horror film. Hahaha. Scared the crap out of me too!!

[@thelovestruckhatress2301]

I believe the "uncle" must have been the killer. Everything, from his possible motive, to him having been seen bloody, to him dissapearing afterwards, points to him being guilty and we have really no reason to think otherwise. And isn't it a weird "coincidence" that the hall lady was "washing her hair" by the time the killer must have entered the house? If the "uncle" was really a gang member, he probably threathened her to go back into her house, or to keep quiet about the whole thing. Its just too covineant for it to trully be a coincidence.

[@katasue2633]

Right...they called her "granny" soooo she was probably really old. So the uncle probably scared th out of her with threats...or maybe she was just scared from even knowing without being threatened scared of retaliation

[@krystaljimenez77]

i think it has been a proven fact that a murderer who uses the method of stabbing to kill, is usually close to their victim. and uncle was pretty close to that family...

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

The murder weapons being from the Tan's home makes me think it was someone familiar with not only the family and their schedule, but the interior of their apartment as well. Usually the perp doesn't just go in without their own weapon(s) while relying on whatever is in the victim's home. I'm not sure if it was mentioned or not - if there was signs of forced entry.. but I'm thinking they knew and trusted their murderer. If nobody in the apartment building heard anything, like a struggle or altercation etc, that also points to them knowing the person. They were probably taken by surprise and possibly even in shock.. The slashing of their faces makes me think it's something personal. Oh.. and the nicknames that were used... and the fact that they knew the mother was sterilized... Interesting that the normal "granny hall lady" wasn't at her "post" that day/time. Either she just happened to wash her hair at the time and someone took advantage of the opportunity, or maybe that person bullied her into going back into her apartment. Either way, it'd most likely be someone familiar with apartment building and the occupants habits. It would be helpful to know the time of their deaths so we could see how close it was to the parents leaving, the mom calling, the neighbor checking on them, the hall watch lady not being there, and the guy who got in that taxi with blood on himself and knife in his pocket. I think the "uncle" theory is plausible. He had motive, access, ability, and was picked out if a line up. It's not alarming that the uncle would take a taxi from where he lived, but if it happened right near the time they were killed, and he had blood and a knife on him.. Well.. That's not solid evidence of course but it certainly looks suspect.

[@StephanieHarlowe]

I was literally so scared when that happened. It was a sign above my sons door that says "you are my sunshine", my heart was beating so hard for an hour. There was no forced entry, so its definitely thought that the kids knew their attacker. And because Uncle had alleged mob ties that is why no one in the building saw or heard anything... they were probably afraid

[@camvin575]

It could of been more than one person although I doubt that but makes me think were the children tied up? Why didn't at least one try to escape and succeed? I was thinking perhaps someone kept the old lady occupied while the other did the deed then again the lady probably had set days and times on when she 'washed' her hair and perhaps the perp knew this? Could of been someone who they didn't no that had been watching the building for a while and perhaps dressed up as a janitor/police/gas man etc for them to just let the person in. Such an upsetting case.

[@BoyG10]

How about the parents? Why their eagerness to close the case fast and went on to conceive another again within such short span of time? Could they been facing financial difficulties and raising up 4 kids was an issue? It’s not unusual for hopeless parents to sell their kids away than to let them suffer in poverty back in those days. Could it have been a planned mitigated murder but turned gory due to the kids retaliation? All such possibilities shouldn’t be ruled out.

[@lizhall4473]

@@BoyG10 Your eagerness to put blame on to the parents bothers me. Your argument just doesn't hold water, unwarranted, not to mention disturbing, they had obviously been checked out, they had alibis, and they weren't trying to close the case fast, in fact they didn't have the power to close it, that would be down to the police.. Also if they had financial difficulties, why not sell them as you say? Why go on to try to conceive another child? (at their own expense!).

I lost 2 Daughter's to stillbirth and been hard dealing, especially since my 39 week old passed in Jan, during labor. I couldn't even imagine what their going threw and emptiness. The poor kid's had to suffer so bad. Whomever done this is a monster, which I mean def seems like the Uncle had a motive and taking off to not be seen is very suspect. I am so happy she got to have another child. Idk what they been threw, I can't even compare my situation but I can say since my loss I really want to try for another Baby. I am in tears knowing they were able to have a child. No matter what the child will never ever replace their 4 children but it will help some of that empty hole left to them.

[@AnnoyingAsianWitch]

The sterilisation law was ultimately classist, rich families could afford the fines and punishments but poorer families couldn't. The TonTin did seem like a motive as the killer might have thought it was easier to kill children than killing adults. They probably thought that the brutal murder might drive the parents to suicide. It's so cruel and unnecessary but I guess they wanted a bigger cut. My late aunt died of cancer over a year ago and guess what, SUDDENLY there were people at her doorstep demanding the unpaid TonTin fees she didn't pay when she was busy emptying her accounts to pay for chemo. People are disgusting. The whole 4D lottery right now only seems like an anecdote but it gives the suspect an even bigger motive.

was listening to this with headphones on and when that noise rang out when something fell upstairs in your house as you said 'the uncle killed the kids' i jumped a mile!!! i was always a die hard sceptic about ghosts until i was 21- my maternal grandfather was in hospital dying and i had just been to see him for the last time in the hospital, he had this awful breathing mask on his face and the sight was unreal to me, well that night i woke up with my heart racing and i turned over in bed came face to face with what i swear was my grandfather sat on the floor by my bed wearing that breathing mask and i couldnt look away i was terrified but i knew if i looked away he would vanish, i finally blinked and he was gone seconds later i hear my mother take a phone call in the kitchen below my bedroom and i hear her wail- i knew my grandfather had just died.

[@xcxg009]

that scared the crap outta me too, I LOVE your videos keep doing them

[@StephanieHarlowe]

Thank you 😍

[@amyeiceman8942]

I love going back to the beginning and watching your videos, and seeing how much you've grown. Your storytelling ability is unmatchable, and your research that you do is so in depth that I appreciate every story that you tell. You definitely give these victims a new voice. Thank you so much I look forward to everyone of your videos every week ♥️

[@ravenross8653]

Your words at the end really hit me in the feels. You are so wise & I love how deep you get into the stories of these victims. I am a huge fan already & I just discovered you yesterday!!

[@blanchheck9387]

Binge watching your videos...my new favorite channel 😘

[@anyastamper3331]

I hadn't heard this case before Thank You For doing Such an Amazing Job Covering It!!! I definitely believe in the Paranormal to an extent and that was Very Eerie!!! Wow!!! Big Hugs!!! ❤❤❤

[@annacobarrubia8800]

I have watched so many of your newer videos but this one is chilling, that noise was nuts! One of my favorites❤️ Well done Stephanie

[@andreaturnquist4855]

That noise scared me beyond words!! Yes, definitely the uncle. Great coverage per usual 😊

[@1feline121]

Great commentary You are so brave! I would have gotten the heck out of there after noise I think you are right on target with the uncle theory. Keep going Stephanie I am subcribed now

[@loganhensley1042]

currently binge watching your crime videos.

[@starry2205]

Hi Stephanie. I've watched almost all your videos, and oh man, you are absolutely phenomenal, thank you for doing this difficult thing that you do. As a spiritual person who also loves true crime, I've wondered how deeply the 'energy' of a case permeates into your life when you read about it. Obviously having a strong emotional connection to the victims would increase it. I've experienced some spooky things myself after talking with my husband about a suicide case. That moment in your video absolutely confirmed to me that by talking about and remembering these people, one forms a connection. Thank you for remembering all of these people that have passed. It is a great gift to the departed.

[@chelelee6321]

I have been binge watching your channel since I found it but this particular video had me so upset. I'd heard stories of the Tan children before but none were told with the compassion of yours. I hardly ever get emotional but the way you sympathized with the Tan parents, honored the children and your choice of music all came together and weighed heavy on my soul. I hope one day there is justice for those poor babies.

[@missxxfrankiexxd]

I have a couple of seggestions for videos. Both happened in my hometown. The first one is Andy Puglisi. He was 10 and disappeared from the public pool in 1976. Two people have been suspected of having taken part in it. Ottis Tool, and then serial rapist Wayne Chapman. Most people think it was Chapman. Growing up after leaving open gym at night, the teachers would make us huddle up, tell us his story and how they didn’t want us to become a warning story. They would tell us to go straight home and not talk to anyone we saw. Our school was right next door to the pool. The next one is 16 year old Lee-Manuel Viloria Paulino. He was found decapitated by the river behind the boys and girls club in November 2017. The main suspect is his “friend” Mathew Borges. No motive for the killing has been given, but people have speculated that Lee told Mathew he had romantic feelings for him and tried making a move and he lost it. Other people think it was a gang initiation. They don’t think Mathew did it on his own. Another strange thing is that Lee’s father was also decapitated a couple of months back in Puerto Rico. Some people believe there’s a connection there. Borges is currently in custody awaiting his trial. Sorry for the novel. Just wanted to give you a little information on them.

[@shaenicole8486]

This is so heartbreaking and unnecessary. I too was a kid left alone in the mornings and after school. And my mother's rule was DON'T OPEN THE DOOR TO ANYONE. Not my friend, her friends, grandma, NO ONE. If only this idea had occurred to these parents...but society is so indoctrinated to only fear strangers. Most of the time, it's the people we know smh. I'm so happy they were blessed to have another one 🙏😇

[@ASHl33164]

I love skincare and beauty and all but I’m really happy you decided to go with more true crime videos on your channel! You’re a natural at it!

[@grace1081]

What you said at the end about remembering these victims... I really feel you are living in your purpose, using your unique skills and talents to do something so good.... I wish you the best & I will continue to support your channel ❤️

[@ipukerainbowz]

Would like to see a video on the murder of James bulger... such a horrific case

[@cheshirecat888]

This one just traumatised me. I remember it when it happened and now I'm like a hawk with my boys because I trust NO ONE. God it was horrific. That poor baby. And those boys...... Ah it makes me mad to see them given anonymity especially with the continued horrendous behaviour.

[@ambbear5053]

They are sick i remember when it happened

[@amandamcdonald8199]

This case is one of them that make you sick to your gut

[@hardyquinn9442]

I can't watch anything on that case. Before my children I probably could have, I just cannot bring myself to do it.

[@TheTwitch442]

Watching in 2019 and I am like "Wow wait this was a skin care channel ?"

[@NamelessGrace]

shelby wagner same. I’ve watched her videos on and off for about a year and had no idea.

[@misscritique84]

Any time you talk about kids being killed , I can really see the compassion and tears almost in your eyes...God Bless you

[@aecan09]

Long time fan and had so much fun watching this, seeing that you clarified aside from skincare/makeup you enjoy true crime! How far you’ve come, that being said you have always had a natural talent with storytelling! Love your videos!

[@SCLcheergirl97]

It actually sounds like someone pushing the sign to make it fall on the floor. If it just "slipped", it would be just one noise hitting the floor. It MUST be one of the children, I'm sure of it

[@StephanieHarlowe]

I dont know what happened, but I was shook

[@melissal8678]

Please cover Caylee Anthony. There is so much evidence that proves the whole family was in on the child's murder.

[@Halei_from_the_show_me]

Yesssss

[@Janellabelle]

She has, now.

[@faithslaton2217]

You are definitely the best true crime KZbinr, being that you actually take so much time to find as much information as possible so that it is much more accurate. I trust listening to your videos than anyone else's. Also how creepy was it when something fell upstairs?! Omg 😩

[@shinemathew516]

My have you grown and improved! Been following your channel for about 6 months, this is the first old video I have watched and you really have mastered story telling. Well done. Much love

[@erikkasepiphany85]

You should do some celebrity overdoses! Brittany Murphy, Heath Ledger, River Phoenix, there are sooo many. Why do so many turn to drugs and alcohol? I find the link between creativity, mental illness and instability, addiction and abuse so interesting and relevant!

[@JoyBeerby]

New sub! Currently binge watching x

[@lynseymckinnon4631]

Wow, Stephanie!!! I've watched your channel for at least two years now. I've been binge-watching and going back through to see if I had missed any videos when I stumbled upon this! Can I just say the progression in your tech, audio is brilliant. I had never noticed the massive upgrade in sound until now so if you have just found this channel, this woman is AMAZING!! Thank you for your amazing content you continue to produce to date... I am casually stalking your channel until the rest of the Bonnie and Clyde series is re-recorded! I must say, I for one am so glad you have the patience to re-do the work you've lost. Thank you from Scotland!

[@StephanieHarlowe]

Thank you so much! Want to make sure the content is as good as possible for you all!

[@erynbrock6584]

That was scary!! I was wanting you to go check out what the noise was in case it was someone or something in your house! I guess I was shook too! Yikes! That was so such a sad case. You covered it well. Thank you for all you do! 🙏💖

[@goldylocksac6586]

That's sad 4 babies left home alone come on now they were targeted

[@paulabrown6840]

😳. I’m watching this alone at night 🙀...scared me like crazy!

[@snowps1]

I didn't even know this was a beauty channel! I love your crime videos. Please keep doing them!

[@biogirl1381]

it’s crazy seeing for myself when and how you came about having your channel become all things true crime. i still wanna see some beauty box openings again sometime soon when you’re not so incredibly busy. your channel gets me through my daily challenges. i’m disabled and i’m constantly in and out of the hospital having surgery. i’m a recent amputee, and i’m unfortunately having another amputation surgery next month and i’m so tired of this. i binge watch your videos and it gets me out of my own head for 30-60 minutes at a time. this case is absolutely horrific. omg when that noise happened, my first thought was that one of the children was there to tell you that it was the uncle. it was creepy. those children need to rest in peace and get justice. ♥️

[@TheunPopularopinionwithSara]

Not only were their children murdered, they were sterile and then it was reversed, all odds against them to never continue their bloodline, they overcame it all, and had a BABY BOY! BOY! That WILL continue to carry their name and their blood. Talk about a miracle💖

[@iunihabaadih]

Why couldnt "uncle" buy his own lottery ticket?!

[@heatherchando5873]

Right?!!

[@amanda_howerton]

Stephanie, I absolutely love you! You do an amazing and thorough job covering these cases! I recently found your channel and Im just obsessed with the true crime series on your channel! Im always looking for new true crime youtube channels or youtubers that focus on some true crime and you are just PHENOMENAL! I love your attention to detail and how you include your own opinion and always continue to be unapologetically YOURSELF! Your personality is the best and I just adore you! I'm so thankful I found your channel!!! 🖤🖤🖤

[@Spooky.Strange]

I really like the way you show such deep empathy for the children and the family. Most people gloss over the victims and how far something like this can be felt.
