On 12 April 1987, nine-year-old Malaysian schoolgirl Ang May Hong (洪美凤 Hóng Měifèng) was last seen by her eldest brother when the siblings split up while on the way to buy breakfast at a market near her house in Jalan Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Ang's eldest brother, who went back home due to a stomachache, noticed her disappearance when he returned to find her at where he last saw her.

After searching for three hours, Ang's family discovered the naked body of Ang at an empty house in a nearby desolated area. A metre-long piece of wood with nails had been stuffed into her private parts, rupturing her inner organs, and an autopsy report confirmed that Ang was sexually assaulted by her killer(s) before her death, and it was also speculated that at least eight people were involved in her murder based on the teeth marks left on her body.

In spite of extensive police investigations and public calls for justice, the murder of Ang remains unsolved till today. The rape and murder of Ang May Hong remains as one of the most horrific murders left unsolved in Malaysia.[1]
