In September 2017, a 69-year-old man named Michael Mulholland was found beaten to death inside an apartment complex in Auckland, New Zealand. The attack was extraordinarily violent.

His skull had been fractured multiple times, and investigators quickly determined that this was no accident. Even more shocking, much of the assault had been captured on CCTV.

Caught On Camera

The footage showed a man approaching Mulholland's apartment and knocking on his door. After a brief conversation, the visitor grabbed the elderly man and dragged him toward an emergency stairwell.

What followed was hours of relentless violence. Investigators later described the attack as lasting nearly four hours before the suspect finally walked away.

Unlike many homicide cases, police didn't need to guess what happened. They had the suspect's face on camera.

The Man Who Wasn't Who He Claimed To Be

Police quickly located and arrested the man seen in the footage. But during questioning, he gave investigators a bizarre series of names.

First he claimed to be a fictional Japanese character. Then he insisted he was someone else entirely.

Eventually police discovered that even the name he had been living under — Gabriel Hikari Yad Elohim — was fake. His real identity was a Korean-born man named Song Jung-hoon.

Suspicious

"Was this simply a brutal murder, or was it the final collapse of someone who had spent years trying to become somebody else?"

As investigators dug deeper, they uncovered a troubling pattern. For years, Song had reportedly created alternate identities, fabricated personal histories, and repeatedly reinvented himself.

He claimed to be Japanese. He claimed to have a different family history. Many of the stories he told about his life simply weren't true.

Final Thoughts

Most killers try to hide after committing a crime. Song didn't need to. The entire attack had already been recorded.

Yet one mystery remained. Why did a man with no apparent connection to Michael Mulholland unleash such extraordinary violence on a complete stranger?
