Massacre at Keong Saik Street

2012-03-06Ended1 seasons4 episodes~45 minSingaporeEnglishIMDb ›

A four-part one hour mini-series: based on a short story by Aaron Ang Starring Joanne Peh, Bobby Tonelli, Tay Ping Hui and Shabir. Filmed on the Canon EOS 300, won the Apollo Award for Best Cinematography in 2013 In 1940 five people – seemingly unconnected – were murdered. One of them was Singapore’s biggest tycoons. What was he doing in the backroom of a dubious establishment on Keong Saik Road in Chinatown? Why did the murderers mutilate the victims’ eyes, ears and mouths? Were there two killers, as the police say? Or was there a third man, as witnesses claim? A British journalist, Paul Haggerty, was on the crime beat on that day. So was Norman, a Malay policeman who was on duty. Paul, along with Norman (who became a good friend) followed the “Keong saik Road” murders through and raised questions the police should have asked: of the three gunmen who fled the bloody scene (and witnesses bore testimony to the fact that there were three gunmen) two were found dead – but what happened to the third? None of his questions were answered and the case was closed in the police files after two of the petty criminals were found dead. Till Rebecca, Paul’s grand daughter, finds his diaries that holds the code – and the key to the mystery.
