Charles Ng, with his buddy Leonard Lake, tortured, raped and murdered an unknown number of men, women and children at Lake’s Wilseyville, California rural home that had been equipped with a fortified bunker which apparently was used solely as a holding cell for their victims. Law enforcement authorities believe that up to twenty-five people were murdered by the pair, but only officially recovered twelve bodies. Detectives found videotapes of these two whackos torturing and sexually abusing their victims among the evidence found on the property. In true “he-man” fashion, Ng ran away to Canada to avoid prosecution, and attempted to delay his trial proceedings when he was finally extradited back to the U.S. Convicted of eleven murders in 1999, he now awaits execution. |
| Charles Chitat Ng was born in
Hong Kong, the son of a wealthy businessman. His early life was troubled
and he was expelled from many schools. To try to turn this around, his
father sent him to an English boarding school where he would be taught by
his Uncle. After a short time, Ng was found stealing from other students
and a local department store and was promptly expelled. At 18, Ng obtained a student visa to study in the U.S. He attended Notre Dame College in Belmont California for one semester before dropping out. In October 1979, Ng was charged by the police in relation to a hit and run offence. Shortly after that, Ng joined the Marines. Ng was still a Hong Kong citizen and therefore ineligable to join the US armed forces, but he put Bloomfield, Indiana down as his birthplace on the application. By the next year he was a Lance-Corporal, but his military career was cut short when he and three accomplices stole military weapons from an armoury at Kaneohe Marine Base in Hawaii. |
