Today I missed my Japanese class again, since I have gotten a bad throat. I only went to the class once this week, so I am probably so far behind now. I will catch up in the summer tho so no worries hehe. Anyway today has been weird, at 3 some guy ringed the bell. I went down and recognized it was my sister’s former boyfriend. He told me he wants to get his fishing poles back. I told him to wait downstair while I get them for him. While I was searching them, he is already in the house. He is still here right now, smoking, walking all around the house with his shoes on which btw I just washed the floor 2 days ago! Hopefully he will leave soon, oh yeah working on the jap report as we speak!

That post was made by nineteen-year old Simon Ng. Here is a pic of Simon and his sister, Sharon, who are Hong Kong immigrants and live together in a NY apartment.

Simon and Sharon Ng were found later that day brutally murdered … stabbed to death with a butcher knife. The main lead to the true suspect, Sharon’s ex-boyfriend, was found in last Simon’s blog entry.

Cops zeroed in on Lin, who once dated the woman, because Ng typed a journal entry into his computer fingering his sister’s ex-boyfriend as the suspect, police said.

Sgt. Michael Breidenbach, head of the 107th Precinct detective squad, said the entry turned Lin’s alibi upside down.

“That puts him in the apartment,” said Breidenbach, adding that investigators got Lin to confess after confronting him with the entry.

A small comfort, but maybe somehow the fact that Simon helped lead police to his & his sister’s killer, will bring a little closure to their parents.

I only found one blog that seemed to have anything worth reading about this in my search.
