The Vietnamese Gore Butcher | #471 — RedHanded

This episode investigates the "Vietnamese Gore Butcher" case, where a 2025 video of a man's brutal decapitation and dismemberment sparked a massive open-source intelligence investigation. Cyber-sleuths traced the victim, a man with a fatal fetish for being beheaded, to his killer, a government official who had also been active in extreme online fetish communities. The hosts discuss the rare phenomenon of consensual homicide, the definition of a snuff film, and how the online community's findings ultimately led to the suspect's arrest and confession.
