The Zaman Family

Jul 1

ONTARIO

It started with a shocking message in a private chat: “I’ve just slaughtered my entire family.” At first, his friends thought it was a grim joke. But as the hours passed, it became a frantic race to uncover the truth… and prevent a real-life horror from getting worse.

This is the case of the Zaman family, a harrowing story of deception, pressure, and a tragedy that no one saw coming.

The intention of this episode is to take a look back at a shocking crime, how it impacted the community, and how it might have been prevented. Some names have been changed to respect the privacy of those involved.

Look out for early, ad-free release on CTC premium feeds: available on Amazon Music (included with Prime), Apple Podcasts, Patreon and Supercast.
