Mabuhay, LagimFam.

This week, come dive with me into an international case that has echoed globally - the Mitsero Killings, involving Cyprus' first recognized serial killer.

In this episode, I narrate the chilling events in the serene village of Mitsero in Cyprus. I cover the 2019 discovery of the bodies of several women and children, all foreign workers and their dependents, concealed in suitcases in a toxic lake.

I honour the victims' lives cut short and scrutinise the societal conditions that made them vulnerable to this heinous crime. This coverage includes the local police investigation, the Cypriot community's reaction, and the lasting effects on the island nation and beyond.

This episode aims to inform, engage, and encourage reflection on these global issues, transcending geographical limits. I shed light on the darkest corners of humanity to promote a safer, more empathetic world.

Moreover, in this episode I will be introducing you to a new crime fiction TV show that will be streamed on Prime on June 1st. The show is called the CATTLEYA KILLER, starring Arjo Atayde, Christopher de Leon, Ricky Davao just to name a few. It is a 6-episode tv series that takes place in the same universe as the 1996 hit film, Sa Aking Mga Kamay, starring Aga Muhlach and Christopher de Leon.

The events in the tv show take place a couple decades later when women’s bodies started to show up dead in the capital yet again. The police are reminded of the Cattleya Killer but cannot figure out who is killing the poor women since the serial killer, Gene Rivera, was shot dead by Christopher de Leon’s character in the OG Cattleya Killer movie.

I draw parallels and point out differences between the show and our case this week as both tackle serial killings involving vulnerable women. I hope you will not only listen to this episode but also go ahead and subscribe to Prime Video to watch CATTLEYA KILLER this coming June 1st.
