In our latest episode, Murder, My Dude returns to the land of the rising sun to take a look at a pair of killings that drew international attention to a controversial custom.

Carita Ridgway and Lucie Blackman were both hostesses, workers at Tokyo nightclubs who were tasked with being extra-attentive to parts of the club’s clientele - generally older, affluent businessmen. Carita and Lucie came to Tokyo from Australia and England, respectively, and though they lived there eight years apart, their deaths came at the hands of the same man.

This week, we explore their stories.

BUT FIRST! This Week In Murder explores the killing of a tech executive and a rash of “stand your ground” shootings.

And, as always, we close with a game of Who Died The Worst!
