You guys should look into the case coming out of Arkansas it's called neosho Missouri mom and baby found it's a really messed up case out of Bentonville Arkansas and neosho Missouri
I have no doubt that her "mother" (I am using quotation marks because she may biologically be her mother but she gives REAL mothers a bad name) had a hand in or actually murdered her daughter. As materialistic and fake as Indrani is I couldn't see her tarnishing her reputation in the slightest. However, without proof, we will never be able to lock her up for life. Even if there was proof and she somehow had a trial, she would pay off the judge and/or enough of the jury to ensure a not guilty verdict.
Friendly? Have to dispute that, people I know in India are hiding an having to be removed from the internet because they are being persecuted and one has been murdered for being A: white / American and B: Christian. Racism, Xenophobia and denial of freedom of religion are the opposite of friendly. I’m sure many Indian people are also against it but it’s still a regular occurrence there.
She is out on bail now with a book and a movie deal to help her maintain the old flashy lifestyle. This woman has zero regrets about killing her own daughter btw - evil is an understatement when describing her.
and his dad just let her gaslight him on it and frame him for murder...one thing I can say...both couples of parents and kids were made for each other: cause the parents were both horrid people who clearly don't care at all about their own children, and their children I'm sure bonded over the trauma of growing up with that.
It all boils down to the judges and they can be threatened and bribed as well. If jail is unavoidable, they would give the culprits like 5 years or something and when they come out of the jail, they would get articles and stuff exonerating them. The actor Sanjay Dutt was in for a serious charge that linked to terrorism. A hit movie was made after him, basically showing him a likeable misguided dude. It is as if nothing happened.
This was the most horrific high profile city crime that we witnessed in India. Every Indian who has been following the story keenly & unbiasedly knows how greed, power, money & influence swayed the court proceedings and let the cruel culprit, the mother in this case, scot free for now. Adrian have watched all your stories. You have very sensitive and humane way of bringing these stories to us with all the available facts. Great work. Keep going buddy!
I'm glad she couldn't buy her way out of the court of public opinion. Her reputation and imagine meant a lot to her and the good people, unlike the authorities, Don’t buy it. Shame on the courts! I'm sorry for the young lost lovers, Sheena Bora deserved much better in life than an evil greedy mother 😔I hope Rahul escapes the place that allows the murderers of his great love to roam free.
I'm very pleased that you covered this case. But I'm a little surprised that you didn't mention. She also tried to kill Sheena's brother immediately after she killed Sheena. She insisted he come and see her, and he was suspicious, because she was never kind. she drugged him, but thankfully , he made his way out of her clutches.
The driver had a lot of benefits to lose when he stated that the mother killed Sheena. He even knew where Sheena's body was dumped. The mother was rich and got away with murder.
This was so triggering when I turned 16 my parented divorced and my mom went through a whole identity crisis she started dating a guy half her age and lied telling the guy that I was her cousin .. because my mom didn’t want to seem “old” this as definitely traumatized me ..
The way her mother is smiling after being released even though she knows she murdered her daughter is just sickening. That mother has no heart. Edit: I’m sorry I called her a mom she was never a mother also to that one person saying her actions are admirable seek help
Narcissists see people as a means to an end, as tools to be used and thrown away when they're no longer useful. That's how the mother saw her daughter.
Sorry, but it is the daughter's fault. First, she persisted on being with her mother when the mother didn't want that. Secondly, she developed a relationship with the son of the mom's husband... There are millions of men and she had to go after the one that's part of family
These types usually believe that they will not reap all that they've sown, because their ego has them believing things based on how things in their life is currently appearing. How they end up gagging, is uniquely designed in ways that they cannot run from.
@lilithdvs13 there's just way too much deceit, and witnesses to whatever took place, not see what went down here. That girl wanted something from her mother that she would never get and she played on her desires and wishes. Most don't realize that everything truly happens for a reason.......and it's ok to not have what isn't and should be present. Forcing anything that doesn't naturally happen, will always end up being a thorn.
My father is the most nonviolent and well-mannered person in this world, but he once punched Sanjeev Khanna in the face for disrespecting his female friend. This was at CCFC, a sporting club in Kolkata. My parents never liked Sanjeev Khanna, nor Indrani. Yes, our Indian legal system has loopholes and sadly these murderers walk free today, but I'm proud to say that my father stood up to Sanjeev Khanna for disrespecting a woman.
I have heard from my Indian friends that the justice system in India is really corrupt. It’s only what I’ve heard and not a personal idea. This story is even more heartbreaking knowing not even the prosecutors are doing a good enough job.
I have also heard that the police and justice system are corrupt and easily bribed. Very sad that this is happening. It goes down to all of the scam call centers being allowed to operate to murder. Sad.
Of course it was Indrani. She had already tried to poison Sheena years earlier. The driver could not have known exactly where Sheena's body was and what state it was in if he had not been there, so his testimony is credible. It seems Sheena did nothing to Indrani except ask for some love that never came. I hope Sheena's fiance finds some peace, even if justice never comes in this life.
I would never trust someone again if they deliberately poisoned me. Sheena was unfortunately somewhat Indrani's prisoner. She needed her money to put her through college. And she was dating her son-in-law. I'm 45 years old and if I knew what I knew now in that situation, I would've dropped out of school, taken what money was in my immediate possession, bought a small farm which could sustain me for life, and left no forwarding address.
@@evelynzlon9492 I agree with you except "buy a small farm". For one thing, land is at a REAL premium in Japan. For another, if the well-connected mother ever found her on that farm, she couldn't just pull up and run away. A better choice would be drop out of school, take whatever money she had, take public transportation to another place in Japan, find an inexpensive place to live under an assumed name, get a low-level job using that same assumed name. When or if she could, marry a foreigner and leave the country under the now-married name.
@@rudra62 Was it India or Japan? The rich lady scenario automatically makes you think Japan but there are rich people in India too. I have a B.A. in Economics. My theory is that if you're in a precarious position in life, a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. An education may open doors for more desirable opportunities than farming, but it also creates more potential for things to go WRONG in life. There's no guaranteed security in it. Therefore it's usually for people who are already fundamentally secure.
@@angshusarma8331 there are serial killers too ...like the stone man raman raghav , auto shankar , two sisters and many more and nowadays... Recently shraddha case was also terrifying
There is leaked phone conversation of him talking with his father and step-mother. He's heard almost heart-brokenly crying over missing his fiance and worrying about her, but all he heard back from his father as a response was if he'd be interested in a holiday trip to Goa.
Same here. I can only hope that if Karma doesn't come to her in this life, then I really hope there is a hell for people like her. If not a hell, then I hope there's something in the afterlife that takes a hold of evil people and makes their souls suffer immensely. I just refuse to believe murderers will have any peace in the afterlife.
What a hideous, narcissistic 'mother'. RIP dear Sheena. How awful for Rahoul to find out that his dad helped rip off and kill his beautiful partner. Hope he finds peace, love and happiness.
I agree with you. Netflix is prolonging the story. I was watching it just now and fell asleep. I had to come to RUclips to listen to a shorter version.
I feel so sorry for her husband. Not only did he lose someone he loved, his father is a murderer, he likely won't be able talk to his family anymore, and the police harass him... wtf
How a parent can murder their own child is something I can never wrap my head around, but to do it in such a heinous manner! Blows my mind every time. How can *I* a total stranger, feel more of an emotional connection to that poor girl, than her own mother? Makes no sense. Heartbreaking.
This is such a sad story.. Her mother is so selfish and broke so many lives with her greed, people like this make me so angry and devastated for the victims. I hope her fiancé can find peace and love.❤️
So disturbing that they have DNA evidence and witness testimony and they're still out on bail! Looks like the power of money is greater than truth, and it's a worldwide problem. Thanks for all the research and facts about the places too!
Yeah, it's a low trust society to begin with. Can't trust the justice system either. You're lucky if the judge is moral or sympathises with the victim in light of evidence.
A few thoughts on this case, 1. Corruption. Absolutely rorted throughout all legal aspects of this trial. 2. You can get away with murder if you are rich enough in any country, even more so in India. 3. Heartbreak for this daughter. As a daughter and a mother I can't comprehend what a cold hearted sociopath the mother was. Thanks Adrian. Merry Christmas from Melbourne, Australia
Sheena was definitely murdered by her mother. Except that I am still living, my relationship with my mother mirrors Sheena. From my birth until the day she died in 2002 my mother neglected, abused, sabotaged, triangulated, criticized, lied, stole, defrauded and betrayed me on every level imaginable. After a childhood steeped in trauma, I finally got a break from her constant abuse when she abandoned me and I went into foster care. Out on bail she came home packed, sold everything that wasn't nailed down even the stove, gave me a note for her friend Gloria and cabfare to her house. The note said that she would send for us in two weeks after she was settled. Meanwhile, Auntie Gloria knew that was not going to happen and called authorities. Sadly, I was so damaged by then that I was happy that she had left. While the transition to care and the subsequent challenges were also traumatic, they paled by comparison to what I had been subjected to at my mother's hand. Space to elaborate and continue the saga is limited so I will offer some hard earned observations. 1) Motherhood does not change a bad (narcissistic) person. If you are essentially a lying, cheating, selfish woman before you conceive, birthing does not change that. All that means is that you now have another person to exploit. Blood means nothing. 2) Evil exists. Unfortunately, it is all around us. Stop making excuses for inexcusable behavior. When you see children suffering say something. I could never understand why no one reported my mother to child protection. They could have called anonymously. We were dirty, hungry, habitually truant, often without heat, power or hot water. If it is winter and there are no lights on in a house with school age children and the mother is out partying why did no one call the authorities? Or check themselves by knocking on the door? Even as a kid, that mystified me and still does. 3) Trust your instincts. If something seems off, follow up and ask a question or two. Tell someone. Get someone else to listen to your concerns. How is it that there are hungry, dirty kids in a cold, dark house with no furniture and their mother is out partying dressed to the nines. Believe your eyes. Whether it is child abuse, domestic violence, elder exploitation etc, say something! It has taken a lifetime for me to recover. Although I survived and broke the chain, I am still haunted by my early neglect. Years of therapy and a few very good friends are the reason I am still standing. 🕊️
I'm very sorry you suffered through such a horrific childhood. I will never understand why the people who surround these abusers do not report them to the authorities. I'm glad you've broken the chain. God bless!
@@lisabelle7553 Thank you very much for taking the time to comment on my story. Even now, so many years later, any kindness shown is a treasure. I appreciate your compassion. ❤️
Thank you for sharing, cases like yours reminds me why I’m in the medical field, why I’m aggressive with signs and symptoms and listening between the lines. I remind everyone come from a place of love and caring and you will SEE so much of the neglect and abuse! Blessings that your survived and praying for your continued recovery and growth!✨💕🙏 WE LOVE YOU!
Narcissist do not like losing control especially when it comes to their own family so it’s unfortunate that she had to escalate things by killing her own daughter. My heart goes out to her fiancé and family. Cannot imagine the feeling of betrayal for such a pointless death.
Hey Adrian, you could cover the case of Emely Paguero. She was a 16 year old girl from Dominican Republic who was 5 months pregnant at the time of death. She and her unborn baby were killed by her boyfriend and his mother, who was a public official in Dominican Republic. Many think the death was warranted because of the woman’s official status
For those that are new to this case., you can find a lot of taped recordings that Rahul had made when he called his father, and each time his step mom was also on the phone first listening and then taking over the conversation in a very calm and caring voice. Telling him not to worry, Sheena was very happy in the US and if there was anything he needed, implying money or a new car etc. There are all in English because Rahul grew up in England and has a strong English accent. He did not know any Hindi or Bengali. And his step mom is very well spoken in English too. She has some remarkable skills. THIS IS THE FACE OF PURE EVIL.
There were several allegations of corruption against the police who apparently had a hand in tampering evidence in the case to the point of making them inadmissible. Also they contested the DNA report & hired a number of doctors to testify on Indrani's behalf. So yeah, I doubt this case is going to have a good ending.
Indrani had a beautiful, intelligent loving daughter to be proud off, but wasn’t. Never go back into the fold of a person/people who has previously tried to harm/break you. Your walking on dangerous ground. Hope that Sheena gets justice.
Thanks for the motivational words, after more than a year of being nearly cheated upon by me then best friend, I'll never ever think of going back again.
Yep. After my own mother stole money from me, I cut her off and never looked back. "Friends" of the time encouraged me not to press charges, and I somewhat regret having listened to them. I nearly went back into the fold, but with an "escape" available, to another relative who'd abused me as a child. I used my escape, and never looked back. I was quite curt when I ran into him 10 years later.
Very true. How many times I have forgiven and let my guard down, only to be manipulated. I realize there is no way for me to match wits with cunning users who think of others as pawns for their own purposes. I don't know how their minds work. I will never understand it. Perhaps one reason I indulge in true crime is bc I have a morbid curiosity into these minds of such deviant devils. It forever behooves me how often victims are the kindest innocent souls, trusting that others are as well. It saddens me to become jaded and guarded. But Ladies!! we must stay alert, listen to our gut instincts, try not to travel alone, make sure you have your mace, keychain alarm, etc, And today we have to take the time to look deeply into a person's background. Most of all, when someone shows you who they are, BELIEVE them. It's the 2nd chances, the doubting our own instincts which can entrap us.
I absolutely love cases that take place outside of the ‘west’. You get to learn so much about different cultures and traditions. Thank you, you’ve done a fantastic job!
With her money, resources, and the amount of time since the crime took place, I can only imagine how hard it's gonna be to convict the mom. But I really, REALLY hope they're able to get justice for Sheena
I doubt anything like that will happen in India, it's most probable the she'll die if old age... Recently a few months back a court released 11 convicts on good behaviour, who were jailed for gang raping a mother and killing her 8 year old daughter.
That's not likely to happen. I'm from Mumbai. Money speaks louder than anything else here. The cops and judiciary will obstruct justice if the price is right. The courts are overburdened from the high volume of cases. The only reason anyone noticed was because rich people were involved.
Wow...terrible knowing that a mother lit her own daughter on fire and can live with herself. She's the devil. Im in shock that there was no charge against Sheena's murderers. No justice system at all. I feel so bad for her fiancé....he knew something was wrong from the beginning and nobody listened
If it benefits them, sociopaths are perfectly capable of maintaining a lie for years and even decades. Indrani is a sociopath. Poor Sheena, betrayed by the person who should have been the one to always protect her. RIP.
Sheena should have thought of that earlier before spreading her legs for the son of Idrani's lover. There are literally millions of other men she could have dated instead.
Hi Coffee House Crime. I'm so angry that her Mother was that greedy she didn't take the time & effort to love her child enough to show her genuinely how much she cared about her daughter. I'm sure there were evil men all throughout this situation that ruined her life by not protecting their families. The reason I know this is because the same thing happens all over the world. I'd be dead if I hadn't left domestic violence yrs. ago. RIP Sheena. Love & Happy Holidays Adrian, love, Janine Smiley😏😀😍😎😘🆒️💯❕❗🎁🎁🎁🎁🎄🎍🎋🎈😀🎊💜💙❤🎀🏡🚗🚘✌👍💅👠💄
What an embarrassment for the Indian legal system… They literally did NOTHING for YEARS… Let the suspected killers walk free and then harassed the victims significant other years afterwards while the real killers live the high life. Truly pathetic.
This is just one of the reasons why most Indian people have no faith in the Legal System. It is just so corrupt. Actor Salman Khan ran over 7 people on the footpath, while he was drunk driving. The defense successfully argued that he was sitting in the passenger's seat, and not drivers seat. Nobody could prove who actually was driving the car, if not Salman Khan, and the Judge bought the story and let him go. So, we all say that Salman Khan had a Driverless Car 20 years before Tesla.
@Isla Kay well that kind of distorted info. Real sati is after husband's death you can choose a man and marry ,it was distorted by the invaders to give a wrong impression about India as a country, even majority of the indians thinks this is the truth.
@Isla Kay that's why I said majority of Indian itself was distorted.iam from here I knew very well ,some people are unaware of this lands traditions and kind of distort it according to their need, it's true in some states people literally did it out of ignorance that doesn't make it that whole country was like that. India is big with diverse each state has its own different language and traditions ,things can be easily distorted here and easily misterpreted that's why many believe what media shows here than in any other country.
@Isla Kay yes that really happens in India which can't be denied but India with a high population we can't generalise the whole country you know that's why I cleared it for you. Here Majority value family life very much but as you said among 100 ,20 percentage can't be considered a small number like a country like India. Anyway good talking to you, have a nice day.
@@babishak.b3001 but sati is a religious practice. I understand how history can be distorted but this is in hindu scriptures. Sati was something that was celebrated which in itself is odd but i suppose lots of tribes around the world probably practice some ritual sacrifice.
She’s starting to finally look on the outside, more like her inside, as seen by the photos with her appearing aged dramatically and haggard. I can’t imagine how evil a person would have to be to do the things she did, all for greed, all for things she can’t take with her when she dies. When she’s on her deathbed, surrounded by people motivated purely by greed, no love to be found as she nears her end, I hope she sees Sheena, and regrets the awful things she did in pursuit of material wealth. We can only hope that those years preceding will be spent in prison, where she belongs, but that looks doubtful, tragically and unfortunately.
All of us will age, ageing isn't the evil here, beautiful ppl can do evil acts too, looks have nothing to do with how one acts, you can look haggard when stressed and looking after children too, or simply having a hard life, or is a woman not allowed to age?
Thank you for covering case from my home country India. If you have enough money you can take advantage of the complex and corrupted Indian judicial system. They had motive, confession, proof and even the DNA evidence and still money won!!! One of the motive was to keep the money for her kids while Sheena was her own kid as well. Betrayal by your own mother is the worst betrayal that there is.
What an evil mother!!!! Clearly she was jealous of her younger, beautiful daughter who had finally found happiness. Jealousy is poison. Such tragedy! How can you do this to your own child??? And the police in these countries are extremely negligent
I think my mother who was a narcissist and alcoholism married my dad for money; he spoiled her for their entire life together, but after he retired and got Alzheimer’s, she turned her back on him. He’d put her whims ahead of my well-being but I still did my best for him. And then for her after he died and she was alone, having alienated all her friends and family. I don’t regret what I did for dad but mom was so awful to me for the 2 1/2 years before she died too I wish when dad died I’d taken half the money and left her to figure out how to take care of herself. It took me years in therapy after she died to get over her verbal and emotional abuse of me and my lingering anger at her for her treatment of dad.
Hed turn his back on her too once she got old and not cognitively there. I see it all the time at the hospital I work at. the men seldom stay for their ailing wives. Or they just completely abandon them
I completely understand. My bio donor had munchausen syndrome and by proxy and my mom's perhaps paranoid schizo (undiagnosed but definitely plausible with the crazy shit she thinks is real) and the only parent I ever really had was my step dad. I still haven't fully gotten away from or over her way of being. I can't fully blame her but I can't excuse everything either and it drives me nuts sometimes. And it is so easy for that to turn into anger and negative feelings that are uncomfortable because they are your parents and you love them. Especially when kids are parentified we tend to feel bad for everyone else going through it instead of ourselves. That anger always festers and comes later as that one last blow out. I haven't gotten over it, but this gave me hope that healing is possible. So thank you. May love and happiness be with you wherever you go, no matter how cruel the world may seem.
Why are you defending this person's mother and somehow making the father the bad person? Oh I know, because men are always evil and women always victims... 🙄
This so beyond sad, that parent does this... My mother took daily beatings from my dad, protecting me and my sister for way too long. Thankfully she got out of that relationship, and he found my stepdad. Who is the nicest, kindest person and I know.
I heard this case from MrBallen and I love how you both told this story. You gave a lot of evidence against Androne whilst MrBallen gave more of the story on Sheena's side. Great job Adrian!
it gets my blood boiling every time i hear about these kinds of cases. bribery and shady acts from officials are sadly the norm here for us living in third world countries, apparently. i just know these people will get their karma eventually, and i hope sheena gets the justice she deserves. rest in peace.
I remember this story covered by the news but they did a piss poor job of it. You explained it all so well Adrian, it's like a completely new story. I hope one day Sheena gets the justice she deserves. What a horrific way to die.
I love that your channel is unique in that it highlights cases from all over the world. Most channels focus on North America, with the occasional Australian / European stories, so it's nice seeing stories from South Africa, India, etc. As a Korean, I'd love to see more cases from South Korea, because boy lemme tell you -- Korea has some crazy cases and the Korean gov't and media is notorious for trying to hide horrendous cases from the public's eye.
I agree. As a Brit, I get annoyed and irritated at people only covering American crimes. All nationalities tend to only coverAmerican cases as if other crimes in other countries don't mean anythin. Its very sad imo. I also get irritated by British creators in the genre who constantly use Americanised words and language in their videos as well such as trunk instead of boot, garbage instead of rubbish and kindergarten instead of playschool... it's as if they don't think anyone from America will watch unless they use americanised language which is extremely patronising to Americans as well as disrespectful to their own culture. It gets very dispiriting to see people covering the same case over and over auch as sheri papini - I outwardly groan when i see yet another channel covering the case and it's ususlly just the interview... there are so many worthy missing and genuinely kidnapped people who need a voice but sadly most creators only cover the ones that will generate most money... which is dispicable. So I'm always happy to see Adrian covering international cases. So refreshing. Thanks Adrian ♥
@@WakeyWakeyEggsandBakey I understand what you mean, I go to the UK often (my partner's family is English) and they say all sorts of slangs and British terms that I'm not too familiar with, but you eventually pick up and translating it from American English, it's honestly not too hard to figure out. Tbh, the only thing that might be confusing are words that have different meaning in American and British, like "pissed" lol because it definitely means two different things.
@@CoffeehouseCrime There are a lot of interesting cases that are a bit older. Ho-Sun Kang is a notorious one. He's considered the Ted Bundy of Korea and has killed over 10 women including his own wife. Hwaseong Murderer Choon-Jae Lee is also a serial killer. Seung-Jae Kim was a singer and rapper in Korea that was killed and his murder is a cold case. There are also tons of Kpop cases where people commit suicide due to online bullying. Although, most are not murders, I think it's an interesting topic to cover in general and doesn't get enough limelight in North America. It's seriously an epidemic. Ji-hye Lee, a 22 yr old Law Student who was brutally murdered and this case isn't very recognized but it has a very sinister outcome and is a solved case. More recent sad cases include non-murder cases like Sewol Ferry Disaster and the Itaewon deaths this past Halloween. To me, this case deserves THE MOST RECOGNITION but barely any True Crime RUclipsrs besides Korean or Asian channels, cover this case. And over 150 people, mostly under 25y/o, DIED from this terrible incident. That's a massacre. It should be as televised as a commercial airplane crash, yet in NA people barely know anything about the case. And most people who go to Itaewon on Halloween are not native South Koreans. They are foreigners. The reason I want to see S. Korean cases covered, isn't because they are so much more interesting, but I think the rise of Kpop, like Anime in Japan, makes many Westerners view Korea in a really positive light. It's a good thing, but also sometimes the reality is, it's like any other country where there's corruption and murders. NOT TO MENTION, the former president of S Korea, Park Geun-hye who was impeached due to major corruption, scandals, and being part of a literal cult. Although, Idk if this is the channel for political scandals, I do recommend anyone to look into her case because honestly, it is SO FASCINATING. She had an insanely crazy personal life too. Her mother attempted to assassinate her father, who was then a former president himself, but then she ended up getting killed. And then later on, her father ended up getting assassinated too, while he was still in power. The whole story is nuts.
So sad! In the U.S. we had our own famous, extremely influential and rich politician, who murdered his pregnant girlfriend and yet managed to become a famous politician for decades. Wealth has it's influence.
The love of money is the root of all evil! Apparently the government officials are all corrupt as well. Rest In Peace Sheena. Sheenas fiancé needs to escape and live elsewhere. So heartbreaking! Thank you Adrian for sharing! To everyone who celebrates, Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!
It’s the 6th time I watch this one because I keep falling asleep. And that is a compliment because I watch these when I go to sleep in the evening and your voice is very soothing and calming even if you’re talking about murders.
I have seen it before, mothers who compete with their own daughters. It is sad. For this case, the mother didn't even stand a chance since the daughter was able to start her own success with her own hands rather than relying on a mate.
If she was like my own mom, she projected all her insecurities onto her daughter and then went into delusions about the men that she wanted wanting her daughter so she just emulated that behavior. That's what my mom always did anyways. And that was since I was thirteen years old.
So...after the first time she tried killing her daughter, her daughter and fiance thought, "Yup, she definitely won't try anything like this again!" and what's worse, is they thought it was ok to separate and hang out with psycho-mama...😬 wtf?
sadly sheena was just looking for love in all the wrong places. i can get how badly she had wanted to be loved and accepted by her own “mother”. sheena was unfortunately naive about her.
Thank you for unfolding this story. Your way of narration is very clear and interesting. I am so sad about Sheena. It is certain Rahul loved her truly. Humans like Indrani are not rare in the world. But being a mother is the surprise. Hope Rahul will live in peace as his father is also thoughtless just like Sheena’s mother. Sadly this world has such terrible people in the highest echelons.
Thank you for presenting my country India so beautifully . I’m from Mumbai and today’s case was a very sensational one., This evil mothers office was bank opposite my office. It was a case that rocked our city . Thank you for showcasing this case . I love watching your channel and I don’t miss any of your videos .👏👏👏🤗
This case is infuriating. They literally have one of the murderers confessing to the crime - a crime they otherwise wouldn’t have even known about - and all the other corroborating evidence, dna, etc, implicating sheena’s mother in her murder, plus the fact that in the years since her disappearance, her mother never once raised the alarm, instead always claiming she ran off to America, meanwhile Rahul is the only one who ever seemed to be concerned/looking for sheena, even going to the cops for help and to try and report her missing, yet somehow _HE’S_ the one they’re suspicious of?!?!? Omfg I literally cannot even…🤬
It is all about money and political power. In 2020, a Bollywood actor was murdered in his own apartment. The Lords that be in Bollywood, Politicians, and Mumbai Police, covered it up calling it a suicide. They declared it a suicide even before their investigation began. The corruption is too deep.
It's relatively typical in India. There are things you don't expect from life growing up here. Due process and just rulings aren't as common in an overburdened system. Amoral people use money to circumvent this, like Indrani did against her daughter.
I love how you and Mr Ballen both told this story but it took me until about 10 minutes in to realize it was the same story because you both told it so differently giving different context and feeling to it
It BLOWS MY MIND that for some people, enough is never enough. She had so much in life, but it wasn't enough. I hope justice finds her. I hope the ghost of her daughter haunts her...
Perfectly timed, it’s tea (or coffee) time. Cheers . Thank you so much Adrian, I love the care you put into the respect you show for the victims and their families while sharing their stories.
Just minor edit. In 2015 then Mumbai Police commissioner Rakesh Maria received anonymous phone call stating that Sheene Bora had vanished in 2012 and allgedly she has been killed. Rakesh Maria had asked his best men to work on this tip very secretly as Indriani Mukherji and Peter Mukherji were biggest media tycoon at that time. So Mumbai police set up a trap in order to nab Indrani's previous driver Shamvar Rai. After Shamvar's confession police waited a while as at that time Indrani was on abroad trip. So once she came back to Mumbai after that police procedeed to question her with all the available evidence.
Really hope someone decides to take out some vigilante justice. I couldn’t imagine a parent and her spouse working together to kill her own child. Makes me sick and angry that they got away with this because of money. Someone PLEASE find them
So sad. I feel so much for the fiancé. I am sure Sheenas spirit watches over him. The mother is going to learn the hard way when her time comes, that money means nothing when you're dead. If justice is not done in this life, it will certainly be done in the next.
I saw the Netflix series about it and it was very different from the way you told it. there are a lot of details that were not mentioned on the show, so I thank you for this case. I love Coffeehouse Crime
That woman doesn't deserve to be called a mother! Sheena had found happiness and her mother couldn't stand it. That is so awful. I'd be surprised if Indrani did it herself, but she was definitely behind it.
@@malinasworld Really?? Well, good for her! I hope she and her lovely fiance at least got a little bit of money out of it - after all, Indrani and Co were fraudulently using her name for dodgy companies. Poor lass 😢💐
@TheStar798 They weren’t using her name for dodgy companies, they opened a foreign account in her name to stow away more money that they didn’t intend her to have. So still using her, yes.
This is absolutely disgusting! Money speaks, and it speaks out loud in countries full of mind boggling corruption and the influence of rich, privelaged individuals who can make a farce out of justice and the law. One can only hope that this evil, despicable woman and her helpers will face retribution for the murder of her own daughter, a wonderful and happy young woman who made one big mistake in her life - to trust her own mother. It was a very bad mistake.
For people wondering about dental records: India doesn't have dental records. Even for insurance, Indians are only interested in vital organs. Thus, no insurance company carries any dental plan unless you have had an accident. Otherwise, any dental procedure under the sky is considered cosmetic in nature and no insurance company covers them
Thanks for your comment, Damien. When a commenter writes about relevant lived experience and /or specialized knowledge, it expands the story a bit more. Thank you.😊
As an Indian and crime story enthusiast, I had followed this case keenly. The motive for the mother to kill Sheena was many things including what you mentioned, inheritance. Also one of the reasons was that Sheena was demanding a 3 bedroom apartment in Mumbai (would cost a fortune in Mumbai) and if she does not get it, she would reveal to everyone that she is not Indranis sister but rather her daughter. That seemed to have been the trigger. The driver, in his confession also supposedly mentioned that when Indrani sat on Sheena in the car to strangle her, she shouted "here is your 3 bedroom apartment"!!
As a mom, this just sickened me. Our children, little or grown, should be loved and protected by us. My daughter is grown, but she is still my child and I will always do what I can for her. Edit: you did another amazing job on this video. I always appreciate how you are so compassionate towards the victims.
NEW CASE IDEA: Would you be willing to cover the case of Bruce D Mendenhall? He was a American truck driver that killed around 6-9 women across the states, until they caught him in 2007. And he was found guilty in 2010. A recent one that may never get solved is Roy Nellsch, he was charged with attempting to kidnapped a women in 2019, and possibly killing others over the years of his trucking career. Before his trial could ever begin, he passed away in jail earlier this year (2022). We may never know if Roy had other victims. Perhaps Killer truckers could be a new theme for coffee house crime? Of course lets respect the modern day truckers that do their jobs and didn't do the horrible things these other monsters did. Anyways I also enjoy your videos! It's nice to see someone respecting the victims and their loved ones during these cases.
I second Maryann, I would love to hear about trucker killers. They are super hard to prosecute because they are constantly moving and jumping jurisdictions.
If Indrani doesn't get huge karma in life, she'll get it in Hell for sure. If anyone deserves it, it's her. People like her don't deserve to have have children or be rich. RIP Sheena. Hope you get justice someday!
The fact they let them out so soon is shameful. People with money tend to be suspiciously "let out early" if they even get to the prison. So heart-breaking For Rahul.
It's been requested for a long time, and we're finally in India for a dose of True Crime and coffee! This is a very peculiar case, and in my opinion, it's pretty obvious who killed Sheena Bora... But what do you think? Was it Indrani? Or is something else happening here? Please let me know what your thoughts are below; I'm genuinely interested to see what the general opinion is!

Hey
Please make a video on the recent Shraddha walkar murder case. She was murdered by her live-in partner in one of the most gruesome ways.
I have no doubt that her "mother" (I am using quotation marks because she may biologically be her mother but she gives REAL mothers a bad name) had a hand in or actually murdered her daughter. As materialistic and fake as Indrani is I couldn't see her tarnishing her reputation in the slightest. However, without proof, we will never be able to lock her up for life. Even if there was proof and she somehow had a trial, she would pay off the judge and/or enough of the jury to ensure a not guilty verdict.
The mother is sus.
Friendly? Have to dispute that, people I know in India are hiding an having to be removed from the internet because they are being persecuted and one has been murdered for being A: white / American and B: Christian. Racism, Xenophobia and denial of freedom of religion are the opposite of friendly. I’m sure many Indian people are also against it but it’s still a regular occurrence there.
I don’t think cultural taboo was the only reason Indrani wanted Sheena to say she was her younger sister. It was vanity & narcissism, too.
I think she didn’t want the negative attention. I agree, definitely vanity and some arrogance involved.
Absolutely agree!
Oh 100%!
Definitely vanity
My mom uses to do that. She despised the idea of getting old.
She is out on bail now with a book and a movie deal to help her maintain the old flashy lifestyle. This woman has zero regrets about killing her own daughter btw - evil is an understatement when describing her.
A book and a movie?! Wtf...wow
Who would give this despicable killer deals like these? Ugh!
Wow that's horrible
Even if she were innocent, a book and movie deal really tells us everything we need to know.
India is really corrupt she must have slept with a powerful man
No loving mother would say “my daughter is out there living her best life” without proof that she even is alive. 😢
I feel so bad for Sheenas’ boyfriend. He lost the love of his life and can’t even sleep safety at night. Heartbreaking.
and his dad just let her gaslight him on it and frame him for murder...one thing I can say...both couples of parents and kids were made for each other: cause the parents were both horrid people who clearly don't care at all about their own children, and their children I'm sure bonded over the trauma of growing up with that.
Yea because of that wicked mother whos probably into witchcraft.

The fact that they didn’t use dental records to identify the body says a lot about how many officials she bribed
The DNA was a match and yet for some reason ($$$$) that didn't seem to matter either.
They didn't use dental because the fire destroyed everything. The teeth have to be still connected to the skull. The fire destroyed the body severely.
It all boils down to the judges and they can be threatened and bribed as well. If jail is unavoidable, they would give the culprits like 5 years or something and when they come out of the jail, they would get articles and stuff exonerating them. The actor Sanjay Dutt was in for a serious charge that linked to terrorism. A hit movie was made after him, basically showing him a likeable misguided dude. It is as if nothing happened.
Well, the law enforcement officials in India aren't exactly beacons of integrity. Corruption is rife.
I don’t think we have anything like dental records here 😂
The corruption in the legal system is infuriating. Justice for Sheena.
I don't think that whole thing will work where this went down... 🤦♂️
The didn't have enough evidence because the murder happened 3 years ago
I feel so much sympathy for anyone with a narcissist instead of a mother.

This was the most horrific high profile city crime that we witnessed in India.

Such a sad and frustrating story. For a mother to murder her own daughter… that’s a special kind of evil.
I think the best way to describe Indrani is what Sheena wrote on her letter "She's a witch".
I'm very pleased that you covered this case. But I'm a little surprised that you didn't mention. She also tried to kill Sheena's brother immediately after she killed Sheena. She insisted he come and see her, and he was suspicious, because she was never kind. she drugged him, but thankfully , he made his way out of her clutches.
What in the literal…
oh she’s a sick woman! one can only hope the day comes when she gets what’s coming to her.
Wow really?
Interesting! And shows even more evidence of corruption and cover up. I wonder if this was not allowed as evidence in Sheena's case...
Whaaat??😢😢😢 holy shit
The driver had a lot of benefits to lose when he stated that the mother killed Sheena. He even knew where Sheena's body was dumped. The mother was rich and got away with murder.

The way her mother is smiling after being released even though she knows she murdered her daughter is just sickening. That mother has no heart.

yeah, that was fucked up.
she is pure evil
I admire her willpower.
That woman is NO mother.
@@azazello1784 there's nothing to admire
Narcissists see people as a means to an end, as tools to be used and thrown away when they're no longer useful. That's how the mother saw her daughter.
Jealous, competitive, self absorbed, manipulative. Saying she's a terrible mother is an understatement
You literally don’t know anything about their relationship. The daughter could be at fault for all you know.
Sorry, but it is the daughter's fault. First, she persisted on being with her mother when the mother didn't want that. Secondly, she developed a relationship with the son of the mom's husband... There are millions of men and she had to go after the one that's part of family
These types usually believe that they will not reap all that they've sown, because their ego has them believing things based on how things in their life is currently appearing. How they end up gagging, is uniquely designed in ways that they cannot run from.
@lilithdvs13 there's just way too much deceit, and witnesses to whatever took place, not see what went down here. That girl wanted something from her mother that she would never get and she played on her desires and wishes. Most don't realize that everything truly happens for a reason.......and it's ok to not have what isn't and should be present. Forcing anything that doesn't naturally happen, will always end up being a thorn.
@@azazello1784 regardless, the daughter didn't deserve to die. There were so many other ways that the mother could have handled that.
My father is the most nonviolent and well-mannered person in this world, but he once punched Sanjeev Khanna in the face for disrespecting his female friend. This was at CCFC, a sporting club in Kolkata. My parents never liked Sanjeev Khanna, nor Indrani. Yes, our Indian legal system has loopholes and sadly these murderers walk free today, but I'm proud to say that my father stood up to Sanjeev Khanna for disrespecting a woman.

I have heard from my Indian friends that the justice system in India is really corrupt. It’s only what I’ve heard and not a personal idea. This story is even more heartbreaking knowing not even the prosecutors are doing a good enough job.
Indians are obsessed with money
Justice can be corrupted anywhere in the world. Humans can be greedy... It's all about money, not justice! Same in Europe, I can assure you...
I have also heard that the police and justice system are corrupt and easily bribed. Very sad that this is happening. It goes down to all of the scam call centers being allowed to operate to murder. Sad.
It's corrupt in the states too but probably nowhere near what they see in India. Greed rules the world.
It's very similar here in the uk
Of course it was Indrani. She had already tried to poison Sheena years earlier. The driver could not have known exactly where Sheena's body was and what state it was in if he had not been there, so his testimony is credible. It seems Sheena did nothing to Indrani except ask for some love that never came. I hope Sheena's fiance finds some peace, even if justice never comes in this life.
I would never trust someone again if they deliberately poisoned me. Sheena was unfortunately somewhat Indrani's prisoner. She needed her money to put her through college. And she was dating her son-in-law. I'm 45 years old and if I knew what I knew now in that situation, I would've dropped out of school, taken what money was in my immediate possession, bought a small farm which could sustain me for life, and left no forwarding address.
this is by far the most vile and corrupt cases covered on this channel
Perfectly said
@@evelynzlon9492 I agree with you except "buy a small farm". For one thing, land is at a REAL premium in Japan. For another, if the well-connected mother ever found her on that farm, she couldn't just pull up and run away.
A better choice would be drop out of school, take whatever money she had, take public transportation to another place in Japan, find an inexpensive place to live under an assumed name, get a low-level job using that same assumed name. When or if she could, marry a foreigner and leave the country under the now-married name.
@@rudra62 Was it India or Japan? The rich lady scenario automatically makes you think Japan but there are rich people in India too. I have a B.A. in Economics. My theory is that if you're in a precarious position in life, a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. An education may open doors for more desirable opportunities than farming, but it also creates more potential for things to go WRONG in life. There's no guaranteed security in it. Therefore it's usually for people who are already fundamentally secure.
Criminal: "I did it. I swear."
Indian court: "If only there was some proof."
It's sickening how people can get away with crimes just by throwing around a lot of money

Poor Sheena. And her poor fiance. And the fact that the culprits seem to have gotten away with it. this makes me so sad and angry. :(
I feel so sorry for her husband. Not only did he lose someone he loved, his father is a murderer, he likely won't be able talk to his family anymore, and the police harass him... wtf
His father wasn't the one with the mother during the crime. It was her ex husband.
How a parent can murder their own child is something I can never wrap my head around, but to do it in such a heinous manner! Blows my mind every time. How can *I* a total stranger, feel more of an emotional connection to that poor girl, than her own mother? Makes no sense. Heartbreaking.

1. Corruption. Absolutely rorted throughout all legal aspects of this trial.
2. You can get away with murder if you are rich enough in any country, even more so in India.
3. Heartbreak for this daughter.
As a daughter and a mother I can't comprehend what a cold hearted sociopath the mother was.
Thanks Adrian.
Merry Christmas from Melbourne, Australia
Sheena was definitely murdered by her mother. Except that I am still living, my relationship with my mother mirrors Sheena. From my birth until the day she died in 2002 my mother neglected, abused, sabotaged, triangulated, criticized, lied, stole, defrauded and betrayed me on every level imaginable. After a childhood steeped in trauma, I finally got a break from her constant abuse when she abandoned me and I went into foster care. Out on bail she came home packed, sold everything that wasn't nailed down even the stove, gave me a note for her friend Gloria and cabfare to her house. The note said that she would send for us in two weeks after she was settled. Meanwhile, Auntie Gloria knew that was not going to happen and called authorities. Sadly, I was so damaged by then that I was happy that she had left. While the transition to care and the subsequent challenges were also traumatic, they paled by comparison to what I had been subjected to at my mother's hand.
Space to elaborate and continue the saga is limited so I will offer some hard earned observations.
1) Motherhood does not change a bad (narcissistic) person. If you are essentially a lying, cheating, selfish
woman before you conceive, birthing does not change that. All that means is that you now have another person to exploit. Blood means nothing.
2) Evil exists. Unfortunately, it is all around us. Stop making excuses for inexcusable behavior. When you see children suffering say something. I could never understand why no one reported my mother to child protection. They could have called anonymously. We were dirty, hungry, habitually truant, often without heat, power or hot water. If it is winter and there are no lights on in a house with school age children and the mother is out partying why did no one call the authorities? Or check themselves by knocking on the door? Even as a kid, that mystified me and still does.
3) Trust your instincts. If something seems off, follow up and ask a question or two. Tell someone. Get someone else to listen to your concerns. How is it that there are hungry, dirty kids in a cold, dark house with no furniture and their mother is out partying dressed to the nines.
Believe your eyes. Whether it is child abuse, domestic violence, elder exploitation etc, say something!
It has taken a lifetime for me to recover. Although I survived and broke the chain, I am still haunted by my early neglect. Years of therapy and a few very good friends are the reason I am still standing. 🕊️
I'm very sorry you suffered through such a horrific childhood. I will never understand why the people who surround these abusers do not report them to the authorities. I'm glad you've broken the chain. God bless!

For those that are new to this case., you can find a lot of taped recordings that Rahul had made when he called his father, and each time his step mom was also on the phone first listening and then taking over the conversation in a very calm and caring voice. Telling him not to worry, Sheena was very happy in the US and if there was anything he needed, implying money or a new car etc. There are all in English because Rahul grew up in England and has a strong English accent. He did not know any Hindi or Bengali. And his step mom is very well spoken in English too. She has some remarkable skills. THIS IS THE FACE OF PURE EVIL.
There were several allegations of corruption against the police who apparently had a hand in tampering evidence in the case to the point of making them inadmissible. Also they contested the DNA report & hired a number of doctors to testify on Indrani's behalf. So yeah, I doubt this case is going to have a good ending.
Wow...corruption and greed rule the entire world
I hope it's a jury trial and they convict her anyway.

Yep. After my own mother stole money from me, I cut her off and never looked back. "Friends" of the time encouraged me not to press charges, and I somewhat regret having listened to them. I nearly went back into the fold, but with an "escape" available, to another relative who'd abused me as a child. I used my escape, and never looked back. I was quite curt when I ran into him 10 years later.
Very true. How many times I have forgiven and let my guard down, only to be manipulated. I realize there is no way for me to match wits with cunning users who think of others as pawns for their own purposes. I don't know how their minds work. I will never understand it. Perhaps one reason I indulge in true crime is bc I have a morbid curiosity into these minds of such deviant devils. It forever behooves me how often victims are the kindest innocent souls, trusting that others are as well. It saddens me to become jaded and guarded. But Ladies!! we must stay alert, listen to our gut instincts, try not to travel alone, make sure you have your mace, keychain alarm, etc, And today we have to take the time to look deeply into a person's background. Most of all, when someone shows you who they are, BELIEVE them. It's the 2nd chances, the doubting our own instincts which can entrap us.

With her money, resources, and the amount of time since the crime took place, I can only imagine how hard it's gonna be to convict the mom. But I really, REALLY hope they're able to get justice for Sheena
I doubt anything like that will happen in India, it's most probable the she'll die if old age...
Recently a few months back a court released 11 convicts on good behaviour, who were jailed for gang raping a mother and killing her 8 year old daughter.

If it benefits them, sociopaths are perfectly capable of maintaining a lie for years and even decades. Indrani is a sociopath. Poor Sheena, betrayed by the person who should have been the one to always protect her. RIP.

What an embarrassment for the Indian legal system… They literally did NOTHING for YEARS… Let the suspected killers walk free and then harassed the victims significant other years afterwards while the real killers live the high life. Truly pathetic.
This is just one of the reasons why most Indian people have no faith in the Legal System. It is just so corrupt. Actor Salman Khan ran over 7 people on the footpath, while he was drunk driving. The defense successfully argued that he was sitting in the passenger's seat, and not drivers seat. Nobody could prove who actually was driving the car, if not Salman Khan, and the Judge bought the story and let him go. So, we all say that Salman Khan had a Driverless Car 20 years before Tesla.
@Isla Kay well that kind of distorted info. Real sati is after husband's death you can choose a man and marry ,it was distorted by the invaders to give a wrong impression about India as a country, even majority of the indians thinks this is the truth.
@Isla Kay that's why I said majority of Indian itself was distorted.iam from here I knew very well ,some people are unaware of this lands traditions and kind of distort it according to their need, it's true in some states people literally did it out of ignorance that doesn't make it that whole country was like that. India is big with diverse each state has its own different language and traditions ,things can be easily distorted here and easily misterpreted that's why many believe what media shows here than in any other country.
@Isla Kay yes that really happens in India which can't be denied but India with a high population we can't generalise the whole country you know that's why I cleared it for you. Here Majority value family life very much but as you said among 100 ,20 percentage can't be considered a small number like a country like India. Anyway good talking to you, have a nice day.
@@babishak.b3001 but sati is a religious practice. I understand how history can be distorted but this is in hindu scriptures. Sati was something that was celebrated which in itself is odd but i suppose lots of tribes around the world probably practice some ritual sacrifice.
She’s starting to finally look on the outside, more like her inside, as seen by the photos with her appearing aged dramatically and haggard. I can’t imagine how evil a person would have to be to do the things she did, all for greed, all for things she can’t take with her when she dies.
When she’s on her deathbed, surrounded by people motivated purely by greed, no love to be found as she nears her end, I hope she sees Sheena, and regrets the awful things she did in pursuit of material wealth. We can only hope that those years preceding will be spent in prison, where she belongs, but that looks doubtful, tragically and unfortunately.
All of us will age, ageing isn't the evil here, beautiful ppl can do evil acts too, looks have nothing to do with how one acts, you can look haggard when stressed and looking after children too, or simply having a hard life, or is a woman not allowed to age?
Thank you for covering case from my home country India. If you have enough money you can take advantage of the complex and corrupted Indian judicial system. They had motive, confession, proof and even the DNA evidence and still money won!!! One of the motive was to keep the money for her kids while Sheena was her own kid as well. Betrayal by your own mother is the worst betrayal that there is.
Great video Adrian! Really appreciate your kind-coverage of such a horrid case.
What an evil mother!!!! Clearly she was jealous of her younger, beautiful daughter who had finally found happiness. Jealousy is poison. Such tragedy! How can you do this to your own child??? And the police in these countries are extremely negligent
RIGHT?! Everything she had wasn't enough...
How can a mother be jealous of her own daughter 😢😢😢
I think my mother who was a narcissist and alcoholism married my dad for money; he spoiled her for their entire life together, but after he retired and got Alzheimer’s, she turned her back on him. He’d put her whims ahead of my well-being but I still did my best for him. And then for her after he died and she was alone, having alienated all her friends and family. I don’t regret what I did for dad but mom was so awful to me for the 2 1/2 years before she died too I wish when dad died I’d taken half the money and left her to figure out how to take care of herself. It took me years in therapy after she died to get over her verbal and emotional abuse of me and my lingering anger at her for her treatment of dad.
Hed turn his back on her too once she got old and not cognitively there. I see it all the time at the hospital I work at. the men seldom stay for their ailing wives. Or they just completely abandon them
@@sashamoore9691 no he wouldn’t. He wasn’t that kind of person.
@@nhmooytis7058 sure he wasn't, the tables were turned, that's the only difference
I completely understand. My bio donor had munchausen syndrome and by proxy and my mom's perhaps paranoid schizo (undiagnosed but definitely plausible with the crazy shit she thinks is real) and the only parent I ever really had was my step dad.
I still haven't fully gotten away from or over her way of being. I can't fully blame her but I can't excuse everything either and it drives me nuts sometimes. And it is so easy for that to turn into anger and negative feelings that are uncomfortable because they are your parents and you love them.
Especially when kids are parentified we tend to feel bad for everyone else going through it instead of ourselves. That anger always festers and comes later as that one last blow out.
I haven't gotten over it, but this gave me hope that healing is possible. So thank you. May love and happiness be with you wherever you go, no matter how cruel the world may seem.
Why are you defending this person's mother and somehow making the father the bad person? Oh I know, because men are always evil and women always victims... 🙄
Money can get you out of anything in India
This was one of the most heartbreaking case in India. A mother's betrayal
This so beyond sad, that parent does this... My mother took daily beatings from my dad, protecting me and my sister for way too long. Thankfully she got out of that relationship, and he found my stepdad. Who is the nicest, kindest person and I know.
I heard this case from MrBallen and I love how you both told this story. You gave a lot of evidence against Androne whilst MrBallen gave more of the story on Sheena's side. Great job Adrian!
it gets my blood boiling every time i hear about these kinds of cases. bribery and shady acts from officials are sadly the norm here for us living in third world countries, apparently. i just know these people will get their karma eventually, and i hope sheena gets the justice she deserves. rest in peace.
There are so many cases like that ...i still think if justice exists....
Completely agree!!!
I remember this story covered by the news but they did a piss poor job of it. You explained it all so well Adrian, it's like a completely new story. I hope one day Sheena gets the justice she deserves. What a horrific way to die.
They did a piss poor job because the father owns a big chunk of Star News.
I agree!
I love how your videos are almost always cases I've never heard of
It's crazy to me that the suspects are still out on bail when there is so much evidence
I love that your channel is unique in that it highlights cases from all over the world. Most channels focus on North America, with the occasional Australian / European stories, so it's nice seeing stories from South Africa, India, etc. As a Korean, I'd love to see more cases from South Korea, because boy lemme tell you -- Korea has some crazy cases and the Korean gov't and media is notorious for trying to hide horrendous cases from the public's eye.
I'd love to cover more Korean cases! let me know if you have any suggestions :)
I agree. As a Brit, I get annoyed and irritated at people only covering American crimes. All nationalities tend to only coverAmerican cases as if other crimes in other countries don't mean anythin. Its very sad imo.
I also get irritated by British creators in the genre who constantly use Americanised words and language in their videos as well such as trunk instead of boot, garbage instead of rubbish and kindergarten instead of playschool... it's as if they don't think anyone from America will watch unless they use americanised language which is extremely patronising to Americans as well as disrespectful to their own culture.
It gets very dispiriting to see people covering the same case over and over auch as sheri papini - I outwardly groan when i see yet another channel covering the case and it's ususlly just the interview... there are so many worthy missing and genuinely kidnapped people who need a voice but sadly most creators only cover the ones that will generate most money... which is dispicable. So I'm always happy to see Adrian covering international cases. So refreshing.
Thanks Adrian ♥
Well said 👏🏻
@@WakeyWakeyEggsandBakey I understand what you mean, I go to the UK often (my partner's family is English) and they say all sorts of slangs and British terms that I'm not too familiar with, but you eventually pick up and translating it from American English, it's honestly not too hard to figure out. Tbh, the only thing that might be confusing are words that have different meaning in American and British, like "pissed" lol because it definitely means two different things.
@@CoffeehouseCrime There are a lot of interesting cases that are a bit older.
Ho-Sun Kang is a notorious one. He's considered the Ted Bundy of Korea and has killed over 10 women including his own wife.
Hwaseong Murderer Choon-Jae Lee is also a serial killer.
Seung-Jae Kim was a singer and rapper in Korea that was killed and his murder is a cold case. There are also tons of Kpop cases where people commit suicide due to online bullying. Although, most are not murders, I think it's an interesting topic to cover in general and doesn't get enough limelight in North America. It's seriously an epidemic.
Ji-hye Lee, a 22 yr old Law Student who was brutally murdered and this case isn't very recognized but it has a very sinister outcome and is a solved case.
More recent sad cases include non-murder cases like Sewol Ferry Disaster and the Itaewon deaths this past Halloween. To me, this case deserves THE MOST RECOGNITION but barely any True Crime RUclipsrs besides Korean or Asian channels, cover this case. And over 150 people, mostly under 25y/o, DIED from this terrible incident. That's a massacre. It should be as televised as a commercial airplane crash, yet in NA people barely know anything about the case. And most people who go to Itaewon on Halloween are not native South Koreans. They are foreigners.
The reason I want to see S. Korean cases covered, isn't because they are so much more interesting, but I think the rise of Kpop, like Anime in Japan, makes many Westerners view Korea in a really positive light. It's a good thing, but also sometimes the reality is, it's like any other country where there's corruption and murders. NOT TO MENTION, the former president of S Korea, Park Geun-hye who was impeached due to major corruption, scandals, and being part of a literal cult. Although, Idk if this is the channel for political scandals, I do recommend anyone to look into her case because honestly, it is SO FASCINATING. She had an insanely crazy personal life too. Her mother attempted to assassinate her father, who was then a former president himself, but then she ended up getting killed. And then later on, her father ended up getting assassinated too, while he was still in power. The whole story is nuts.
So sad! In the U.S. we had our own famous, extremely influential and rich politician, who murdered his pregnant girlfriend and yet managed to become a famous politician for decades. Wealth has it's influence.
The love of money is the root of all evil! Apparently the government officials are all corrupt as well. Rest In Peace Sheena. Sheenas fiancé needs to escape and live elsewhere. So heartbreaking! Thank you Adrian for sharing! To everyone who celebrates, Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!
How horribly sad 😥
Rest in peace Sheena 🕊🌻
Prayers for your fiance 🙏
I hope one day all those responsible for your death are brought to justice.
It’s the 6th time I watch this one because I keep falling asleep. And that is a compliment because I watch these when I go to sleep in the evening and your voice is very soothing and calming even if you’re talking about murders.
I have seen it before, mothers who compete with their own daughters. It is sad. For this case, the mother didn't even stand a chance since the daughter was able to start her own success with her own hands rather than relying on a mate.
If she was like my own mom, she projected all her insecurities onto her daughter and then went into delusions about the men that she wanted wanting her daughter so she just emulated that behavior.
That's what my mom always did anyways. And that was since I was thirteen years old.
So...after the first time she tried killing her daughter, her daughter and fiance thought, "Yup, she definitely won't try anything like this again!" and what's worse, is they thought it was ok to separate and hang out with psycho-mama...😬 wtf?
Its the family above everything mentality! Specially if we are talking about moms.
I’m sure she had some excuse for giving her daughter the wrong medication . They didn’t see it as an attempted murder obviously.
I know right? It was really dumb for her to go with her mom alone, given that she had earlier given her drugs to kill her.
@A J. Jamsen. Sadly, deep down Sheena wanted a relationship with her mum, she thought the invite was an olive branch.😎
sadly sheena was just looking for love in all the wrong places. i can get how badly she had wanted to be loved and accepted by her own “mother”. sheena was unfortunately naive about her.
Thank you for unfolding this story. Your way of narration is very clear and interesting. I am so sad about Sheena. It is certain Rahul loved her truly. Humans like Indrani are not rare in the world. But being a mother is the surprise. Hope Rahul will live in peace as his father is also thoughtless just like Sheena’s mother. Sadly this world has such terrible people in the highest echelons.
Thank you for presenting my country India so beautifully . I’m from Mumbai and today’s case was a very sensational one., This evil mothers office was bank opposite my office. It was a case that rocked our city . Thank you for showcasing this case . I love watching your channel and I don’t miss any of your videos .👏👏👏🤗
This case is infuriating. They literally have one of the murderers confessing to the crime - a crime they otherwise wouldn’t have even known about - and all the other corroborating evidence, dna, etc, implicating sheena’s mother in her murder, plus the fact that in the years since her disappearance, her mother never once raised the alarm, instead always claiming she ran off to America, meanwhile Rahul is the only one who ever seemed to be concerned/looking for sheena, even going to the cops for help and to try and report her missing, yet somehow _HE’S_ the one they’re suspicious of?!?!?
Omfg I literally cannot even…🤬
It is all about money and political power. In 2020, a Bollywood actor was murdered in his own apartment. The Lords that be in Bollywood, Politicians, and Mumbai Police, covered it up calling it a suicide. They declared it a suicide even before their investigation began. The corruption is too deep.
It's relatively typical in India. There are things you don't expect from life growing up here. Due process and just rulings aren't as common in an overburdened system.
Amoral people use money to circumvent this, like Indrani did against her daughter.
Totally agree! It's just inconceivable! 😢
This is horrific!!!!! This is maddening!!!!! Her poor Fiance...my goodness! Vigilante Justice is needed!!!!
"We kidnapped a girl, killed her, burned her body in a car, and left it at this location."
"That sucks. Luckily your boss paid for it to go away."
Wishing all my fellow Coffeehousers a very merry holiday if you celebrate, and a super relaxing and refreshing weekend if you don't. ✌️
Good wishes to you as well
Ditto, friend.
Merry Christmas to you.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS FOLKS! 🎄🎄
You guys too ♥️
I love how you and Mr Ballen both told this story but it took me until about 10 minutes in to realize it was the same story because you both told it so differently giving different context and feeling to it
It BLOWS MY MIND that for some people, enough is never enough. She had so much in life, but it wasn't enough. I hope justice finds her. I hope the ghost of her daughter haunts her...
Been an Indian fan of yours from past 2 yrs now..finally seeing an Indian case is awesome..much power to u
Welcome to India where judicial and justice is a joke...
Thank you I came to comment section to say the same.
Perfectly timed, it’s tea (or coffee) time. Cheers . Thank you so much Adrian, I love the care you put into the respect you show for the victims and their families while sharing their stories.
What tea are you having?
@@bbond7840 Sakura sencha :) . How about you ?
@@bbond7840 I know you didn't ask me, but---Try The Republic of Tea's Tea of Good Tidings! Best tea ever! :}
Just minor edit. In 2015 then Mumbai Police commissioner Rakesh Maria received anonymous phone call stating that Sheene Bora had vanished in 2012 and allgedly she has been killed. Rakesh Maria had asked his best men to work on this tip very secretly as Indriani Mukherji and Peter Mukherji were biggest media tycoon at that time. So Mumbai police set up a trap in order to nab Indrani's previous driver Shamvar Rai. After Shamvar's confession police waited a while as at that time Indrani was on abroad trip. So once she came back to Mumbai after that police procedeed to question her with all the available evidence.
It must be so hard to be an honest investigator when your surrounded by extensive corruption.
Than you for the additional information 💐 Poor Sheena 😢
Really hope someone decides to take out some vigilante justice. I couldn’t imagine a parent and her spouse working together to kill her own child. Makes me sick and angry that they got away with this because of money. Someone PLEASE find them
So sad. I feel so much for the fiancé. I am sure Sheenas spirit watches over him.
The mother is going to learn the hard way when her time comes, that money means nothing when you're dead. If justice is not done in this life, it will certainly be done in the next.
I always look forward to these, I’ve watched every single video he’s posted. He’s just so good at this
Thank you so so much for covering this case .
Hands down the best True Crime channel..... not sensationalised just told with empathy
I really like it, too. Truly Criminal is also very good.
Kendall Rae entered the chat.
My God, what a soulless monster. Absolutely, that poor girl was murdered by her mother.
I saw the Netflix series about it and it was very different from the way you told it. there are a lot of details that were not mentioned on the show, so I thank you for this case. I love Coffeehouse Crime
That woman doesn't deserve to be called a mother! Sheena had found happiness and her mother couldn't stand it. That is so awful. I'd be surprised if Indrani did it herself, but she was definitely behind it.
She was probably just pissed that people would chatter about the step siblings being a couple, making her look bad.
Sheena had also begun to blackmail her mother. I’m not saying her murder was justified, but there was more to Indrani’s motives than jealousy.
@@malinasworld Really?? Well, good for her! I hope she and her lovely fiance at least got a little bit of money out of it - after all, Indrani and Co were fraudulently using her name for dodgy companies. Poor lass 😢💐
@TheStar798 They weren’t using her name for dodgy companies, they opened a foreign account in her name to stow away more money that they didn’t intend her to have. So still using her, yes.
@@TheStar798 Yes, apparently after murdering her daughter she said something in the lines of "Here's your 2BHK flat"
Thank You Adrian for covering this horrific story.
This is absolutely disgusting! Money speaks, and it speaks out loud in countries full of mind boggling corruption and the influence of rich, privelaged individuals who can make a farce out of justice and the law. One can only hope that this evil, despicable woman and her helpers will face retribution for the murder of her own daughter, a wonderful and happy young woman who made one big mistake in her life - to trust her own mother. It was a very bad mistake.
For people wondering about dental records: India doesn't have dental records. Even for insurance, Indians are only interested in vital organs. Thus, no insurance company carries any dental plan unless you have had an accident. Otherwise, any dental procedure under the sky is considered cosmetic in nature and no insurance company covers them
Thanks for your comment, Damien. When a commenter writes about relevant lived experience and /or specialized knowledge, it expands the story a bit more. Thank you.😊
As an Indian and crime story enthusiast, I had followed this case keenly. The motive for the mother to kill Sheena was many things including what you mentioned, inheritance. Also one of the reasons was that Sheena was demanding a 3 bedroom apartment in Mumbai (would cost a fortune in Mumbai) and if she does not get it, she would reveal to everyone that she is not Indranis sister but rather her daughter. That seemed to have been the trigger. The driver, in his confession also supposedly mentioned that when Indrani sat on Sheena in the car to strangle her, she shouted "here is your 3 bedroom apartment"!!
As a mom, this just sickened me. Our children, little or grown, should be loved and protected by us. My daughter is grown, but she is still my child and I will always do what I can for her. Edit: you did another amazing job on this video. I always appreciate how you are so compassionate towards the victims.
NEW CASE IDEA: Would you be willing to cover the case of Bruce D Mendenhall? He was a American truck driver that killed around 6-9 women across the states, until they caught him in 2007. And he was found guilty in 2010. A recent one that may never get solved is Roy Nellsch, he was charged with attempting to kidnapped a women in 2019, and possibly killing others over the years of his trucking career. Before his trial could ever begin, he passed away in jail earlier this year (2022). We may never know if Roy had other victims. Perhaps Killer truckers could be a new theme for coffee house crime? Of course lets respect the modern day truckers that do their jobs and didn't do the horrible things these other monsters did. Anyways I also enjoy your videos! It's nice to see someone respecting the victims and their loved ones during these cases.
tbh i would love to hear those
I second Maryann, I would love to hear about trucker killers. They are super hard to prosecute because they are constantly moving and jumping jurisdictions.
I have never heard of him. Yes it would be a great case to cover.
Interested
You pretty much told the whole story already
Greed, power, money and corruption defines this extremely sad and tragic case. RIP Sheena 🙏
This video should go viral and bring more attention to this woman and the case. RIP Sheena 😢😢😢
Happy Holidays Coffeehouse crew!
Great stories and this channel is awesome imo.
This hit a chord for me when her mum denied being her mother… my mum always introduces me as her ‘acquaintance’ when we are seen by her colleagues…
Poor beautiful soul :( What a betrayal. I feel so bad for Rahul and the family.
I hope her mom is moved to remorse over what she's done.
This evil witch is never going to have one shed of remorse I'm sad to say. She is a horrid contemptible woman. Hope she rots in hell 💀😡
well she got a movie and book deal out of this so i doubt it
Narcissist don’t know how to feel remorse
She won't, there is no soul there.
If Indrani doesn't get huge karma in life, she'll get it in Hell for sure. If anyone deserves it, it's her. People like her don't deserve to have have children or be rich. RIP Sheena. Hope you get justice someday!
Coffeehouse crime is the best true crime on RUclips, always best stories and told so well...well done Adrian 👌👌
Hello how are you doing today
it's so sad were growing up in a world where this type of thing is more common then you think, it's scary, sad and worrying.
Yup. Pretty typical for Indian courts. Life's cheap here, so money talks.
The fact they let them out so soon is shameful. People with money tend to be suspiciously "let out early" if they even get to the prison. So heart-breaking For Rahul.
