Jennifer Pan- The Woman Who Hired Hitmen To Kill Her Parents.

Jennifer Pan, who was born on June 17, 1986, was found guilty of carrying out a 2010 kill-for-hire attack that killed her mother and injured her father.

In order to appease her conservative parents, Huei Hann Pan and Bich Ha Pan, Jennifer Pan spent years falsifying school records and college transcripts. She and her boyfriend Daniel Wong planned to have them killed and inherit the family fortune after they learned the truth.

The Beginning

Bich Ha Pan, Jennifer Pan's mother, and Huei Hann Pan, her father, immigrated to Canada from the Chinese diaspora in Vietnam. The pair resided in Scarborough and was married in Toronto. Jennifer, born in 1986, and Felix, born in 1989, were their two children. The Pans were hired by Aurora, Ontario-based Magna International, a producer of automotive body parts.

Being frugal, Hann and Bich were able to buy a "big" house with a two-car garage on a residential street in Markham, a city in the Greater Toronto Area with a significant Asian population, by the year 2004.

Jennifer's parents had high expectations for their kids and had numerous ambitions for them. At the age of four, Jennifer was forced to enroll in piano lessons and figure skating classes, where she practiced every day of the week before she tore a ligament in her knee.

She attended Mary Ward Catholic Secondary School in Markham, Ontario, where she forged her results to appear as a straight-A student.

Every day after school, the Pans would pick up Jennifer and meticulously observe her extracurricular activities. They didn't allow her to hang out with boys or go to high school dances because they thought those activities would be a distraction. They forbade her from going to any parties. At 22, she had never been to a bar, gotten tipsy, or taken a vacation without her family.

She repeatedly fabricated report cards, tricking her parents into believing she was a smart student. Jennifer's early entrance to Ryerson University was revoked after she failed calculus in her senior year of high school. She started to lie to everybody she knew, including her parents because she could not bear to be seen as a failure.

She pretended to be enrolled in college while she worked as a piano teacher, a waitress, and a café patron to make money and fuel the charade.

Jennifer lied to her parents that she was accepted to study pharmacology at the University of Toronto on scholarship. She even went as far as buying used textbooks and watching pharmacology-related videos to compile notebooks she could present to her parents as her class notes.

To live with her boyfriend, she took permission from her parents to live close to the university.

The Lie Continues

Pan told her parents that she had begun working as a volunteer at The Hospital for Sick Children( also known as Sickkid) while pretending to finish her degree at the University of Toronto. Her parents got suspicious when they noticed she didn't have the hospital ID or anything that suggested she worked in the hospital. Bich secretly followed her to her "workplace" and was furious when she learned they have been played.

Hann was so angry that he planned to kick Jennifer out of the house, but her mother talked him into letting her stay. She eventually started working to finish high school completely as she had not graduated owing to failing calculus, and her parents later urged her to apply for college. The other condition was that she must also stay away from her boyfriend, Daniel Chi-Kwong Wong.

They tried to keep the relationship secret but Wong got tired and decided to move on; he started dating another woman.

The Hitmen and The Murder

When Pan and Wong got back together, they allegedly devised a scheme to hire hitmen to kill her parents for $10,000, with the understanding that she would subsequently inherit $500,000. Their plan was to get rid of her parents and then move in together.

Wong connected her with the hitmen who attacked her parents on November 8, 2010.

When Jennifer went to bed, she unlocked the front door of the family house and then spoke to one of the killers, Mylvaganam on the phone. Shortly after that, Mylvaganam and two other individuals with guns entered the house through the front door which was left unlocked.

The three men led Bich and Hann to the basement where they were shot many times after demanding all the cash in the house and robbing the master bedroom. Hann was wounded, but Bich was killed. The three men then stole all the cash from the residence and fled. Pan stated that despite being restrained, she was able to free her hands and call 911.

The Arrest And Sentencing

Pan had her first interview with the police the night after the murder. During her third interview with the York Regional Police at the Markham police station on November 22, 2010, Pan was detained. In that interview, she acknowledged hiring the assassins, but she insisted that she hired them to kill her and not her parents.

For killing her mother and attempting to kill her father, Jennifer Pan and her accomplices received a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
