Singapore – 20-year-old Samantha Jean Bogan has been charged with four counts of capital murder, four counts of sexual assault after a murder was committed, four counts of drug-induced murder, resisting arrest, and additional charges pending. On the night of Saturday, October 28, 2023, Samantha Bogan, an exchange nursing student from North Carolina, U.S.A., went out with two girlfriends to the Sambar Reef Lesbian Night Club in Tampines in the eastern region of Singapore with the secret intentions of drugging as many women nightclub goers as she could to have sex with them. What Samantha did not know was that the drugs she possessed were not ecstasy, as she believed, but actually were the fatal drug fentanyl. Samantha brought four women back to her hotel room, which she rented at the Blue Seas Hotel in Tampines, to “party further,” and she drugged them with the fentanyl gummies that looked like candy and had sex with them after they overdosed. Samantha did not realize that she had killed the four women she had sex with. Samantha left the four girls in the hotel room, where housekeeping found them the next morning.The Singapore Police were called to the Blue Seas Hotel around 10 AM Singapore time on Sunday, October 29, 2023. Police found the four young women dead and sexually assaulted. Names of the four women found dead are being withheld at this time pending next of kin notification.It was not hard for the Singapore Police to identify the suspect as the hotel room was rented in Samantha Bogan’s name. Samantha Jean Bogan was taken into custody at 2 PM Singapore time yesterday, Sunday, October 29, 2023, at her dorm room at the Singapore Nursing University. At the time, she was sleeping, awoke, and fought the officers.  Samantha was unaware of the deaths, and she said, “I just drugged the women, and they will wake up.” She was then taken into custody and brought to the Central Singapore Jail.Samatha was booked on the thirteen charges and is waiting in the women’s section of the Central Singapore Jail, awaiting her first court date. After seeing a judge, she will go to a Singapore Women’s Prison, where she will have a long wait, according to police.Police have disclosed that Samatha did not like the condition of the jail, and they said she will certainly not like the condition of the Singapore Women’s Prison either. Police say that Singapore prosecutors will likely seek either deportation to the United States for prosecution under the right deal, or she will more likely face capital punishment here in Singapore, in which she will be hanged by the long drop method. The Singapore Police said, “We will learn more at Samantha’s first court date.”Samantha’s family, a well-off, Baptist family from eastern North Carolina, says, "Samantha’s behavior comes as a shock to the whole family!" The family stated that their daughter was brought up in a strict Baptist setting where this type of behavior is not tolerated! We did not even know that our daughter identified as a lesbian.  The parents stated that their “twin younger daughters are devastated over the news their older sister is now a criminal! Even though Samantha has chosen to take this path in life, we ask God to guide her, and we still love her! We will be praying for you, Samantha!”
