Everything about Charles Ng totally explained
Charles Chi-Tat Ng (
Chinese: 吳志達,
Cantonese,
pinyin: Wú Zhìdá; born
December 24,
1960) is a
Chinese-American serial killer who committed his crimes with
Leonard Lake, in
America.
He was born in
Hong Kong and partly educated in
England. As a child he was harshly disciplined by his father at every opportunity. Ng eventually moved to the United States and briefly served in the
Marine Corps before he was
dishonorably discharged for
theft of heavy weaponary and
machine guns at
MCAS Kaneohe Bay. He was further charged with escape from confinement and attempt at
desertion, although the charge for desertion was dropped. Ng was convicted on the remaining charges and ordered to spend 14 years in a military prison. He only served a fraction of that time before his sentence was commuted and he was released in the early
1980s. (

Ng then met
Leonard Lake and the pair are suspected of murdering up to 25 people at Lake's ranch in
Calaveras County, California. They filmed themselves
raping and
torturing their victims.
The crimes came to light in
1985 when Lake committed suicide after being arrested for a firearms offense, and police searched his ranch and found human remains. Charles Ng was identified as Lake's partner in the crimes. Ng fled to
Calgary, Alberta,
Canada, where he was arrested by the
Calgary Police Service on July 6, 1985 after resisting arrest for shoplifting at
The Bay department store. Ng pulled a gun on two security officers, and after a brief struggle Ng shot one of them in the hand. However, the two officers did manage to overpower him and held him in custody. Ng was charged and subsequently convicted of shoplifting, assault, and possession of a firearm. He was sentenced to four and half years to a Canadian prison. After a long
extradition battle (see
Reference re Ng Extradition), Ng was finally handed over to the
U.S. authorities. Ng stood trial on 12 counts of murder in
1998. He was convicted of 11 of the murders, those of six men, three women and two baby boys, and was
sentenced to death. He is currently on
death row at
San Quentin State Prison.
