Some even described him as the 'Asian Backstreet Boy.' Suave To Sinister: Recounting Lee Chow Meng, M’sia’s Infamous Serial Rapist & “Very Own Ted Bundy”
Descriptions of Lee Chow Meng, from his appearance to his gait, seemed to come straight out of a Netflix documentary.
Within a span of about a year, Lee raped approximately 18 women, allegedly murdering 5 of them. This case also included one of the largest numbers of rape victims in a single case ever documented in Malaysian history in such a limited amount of time.The story of Lee’s fatal charm began when Lee Chow Meng’s long-standing girlfriend ultimately ended their relationship as she could no longer endure his unrelenting infidelity.
At the time, speculations spread that Lee’s rabid desires were fuelled by a sickening fixation on women who bore resemblance to his former girlfriend. To add to the anguish, he threatened to reveal incriminating photos while using his victims’ intimate moments as leverage to extort money from them. The Taiping magistrate’s court eventually indicted Lee for the murder of beautician Lim Phaik Lian, 33. Even so, the victims’ chances of obtaining justice appeared to be bleak, and the road ahead was uncertain.
