On 21 October 2013, in Selangor, Malaysia, 15-year-old Ng Yuk Tim (吴易甜 Wú Yìtián), a cosplay enthusiast, went missing after she last departed her home to meet a male friend for planning an upcoming cosplay event. Although the male acquaintance, Poon Wai Hong (潘伟雄 Pān Wěixióng), told the police that he last dropped Ng off at a nearby LRT station after they met each other in his house, the police still considered him as a suspect and he eventually confessed that he killed Ng inside his house at Kampung Cempaka, Kelana Jaya, and stuffed her body inside a suitcase before abandoning it in Kota Kemuning, Shah Alam.

Dubbed the "cosplay killer", Poon claimed in his defence during his murder trial that he intended to have sex with Ng, but she refused and hence it led to a fight that caused Ng to die from being hit by a dumbbell, which Poon insisted was unintentional. Originally convicted of murder and sentenced to death by the Shah Alam High Court in 2018, Poon successfully appealed in 2019 to set aside his death sentence and reduce his murder charge to manslaughter, and he was in the end given 22 years' jail for the lesser charge.^[1]
