On 27 July 2019, Menhaz Zaman murdered four of his relatives. According to a statement of facts later used in court, Zaman, a resident of Canada, killed his mother, his grandmother, his sister, and his father in a nine-hour span. Then, according to multiple reports and now a documentary, he confessed to the murders online, telling friends on a gaming server he had just “slaughtered [his] entire family”.
The messages were posted on Discord, a service through which users can communicate on dedicated servers. This particular server, Global News reported in 2019, was called Perfect World Void and dedicated to the online multiplayer game Perfect World.
