Execution by elephant was an old method of capital punishment in South and Southeast Asia, particularly in India, where Asian elephants were used to crush, dismember or torture captives in public executions.

The animals were trained to kill victims immediately or to torture them slowly over a prolonged period.

Most commonly employed by royalty, the elephants were used to signify both the ruler's power of life and death over his subjects and his ability to control wild animals.

The Hello Kitty murder case took place in Hong Kong in the spring of 1999, when a nightclub hostess was abducted in Lai Yiu Estate, where the victim was tortured and raped in an apartment in Tsim Sha Tsui after stealing a wallet owned by one of her frequent customers.

Fan Man-yee was held captive by three men and one girl before dying between April 14 to April 15, 1999.

Her body was decapitated and her skull placed inside of a Hello Kitty mermaid plush, which gave the name for the murder case.

On December 7, 2000, after a trial which started on October 20, three men were convicted of manslaughter, as the jury ruled the remains were not sufficient to show whether Fan was murdered or died from a drug overdose.

The trio were sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole.

An oubliette was a specialized type of dungeon, with the only entrance a trap door at the top, agonizingly out of reach of the prisoner.

Oubliette is a French term from the verb "oublier" (which means "to forget"). It was so named because a prisoner was thrown down into one and then forgotten.

Oubliettes were cramped, dimly lit, and narrow cavities within the larger dungeon, allowing for no means of escape due to the single entrance and exit.
