Jennifer Pan

As of 2016 Pan was serving her sentence at the Grand Valley Institution for Women in Kitchener, Ontario. Wong, previously held in Lindsay, Ontario, was at Collins Bay Institution in Kingston, Ontario. Mylvaganam was at Atlantic Institution in Renous, New Brunswick. Crawford was at Kent Institution in Agassiz, British Columbia. Carty, who requested to go to a federal prison in Western Canada or Atlantic Canada, was still at the provincial Millhaven Assessment Unit, awaiting his transfer to a federal prison. Carty, who later moved to Kent, died in his cell on April 26, 2018.

According to the South China Morning Post, the case "sent shockwaves across Canada and the Asian diaspora." An editorial in the Northwest Asian Weekly suggested consideration of the "idea of recognizing the mental and psychological symptoms that parenting may have gone too far" in the Pan household. A story by Karen K. Ho in Toronto Life magazine brought the story to widespread attention by framing it an instance of tiger parenting gone tragically wrong. In 2016, journalist Jeremy Grimaldi published a true crime book about Pan called A Daughter's Deadly Deception: The Jennifer Pan Story. The Casefile and My Favorite Murder podcasts and the Deadly Women series also covered the case.

The trial of Pan and her accomplices began on March 19, 2014 in Newmarket and continued for ten months. All pleaded not guilty to the charges of first degree murder, attempted murder, and conspiracy to commit murder. At the trial, York Regional Police evidence included exhaustive tracking of the mobile device movements and text message traffic, including over 100 messages sent between Pan and Wong in the six hours prior to the killing. Further evidence centered around the atypical nature of the "break-in", "robbery", shootings, and irregularities in Pan's testimony. Pan's obsession with Wong, her lack of true emotion and a confession regarding the attack, and recognition of the trauma she underwent were also detailed. A major irregularity was that Pan was not assaulted, blindfolded, taken to the basement, nor shot, leaving behind an eyewitness to the attack. Evidence from Hann, which differed greatly from Pan's version, also undermined her credibility, as did her inability to recreate the conditions of her 9-1-1 call when her hands were bound behind her (given that the police were the ones who had actually cut the shoelace to release her). The trial included over 200 exhibits; over 50 witnesses testified at the trial.

Pan, Wong, Mylvaganam and Crawford were all convicted on December 13, 2014, and each received a life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years.

Originally Carty was tried with the other perpetrators. Edward Sapiano, Carty's lawyer fell ill, so around the Summer of 2014 his case was declared a mistrial. In December 2015, Carty received an 18-year sentence after pleading guilty to conspiring to commit murder. He was to be eligible for parole after nine years. According to Carty, he did not wish to subject Hann Pan to another criminal trial.

Mylvaganam was arrested at the Jane Finch Mall in North York, Toronto on April 14, 2011. Carty was arrested at the prison he was held in, Maplehurst Correctional Complex in Milton, Ontario, on April 15, 2011. Wong was arrested on April 26, 2011 at his place of employment. Crawford was the final suspect arrested, entering custody on May 4, 2011 in Brampton.

In Spring 2010, Pan was in contact with Andrew Montemayor, a high school friend who, she claims, had boasted in their high school years about robbing people at knife point, an assertion denied by Montemayor. Montemayor introduced her to Ricardo Duncan, a "goth kid" whom Pan gave $1,500 to kill her father in the parking lot at his workplace. Duncan says that she once gave him $200 for a night out, but that he returned it, and that he rebuffed her when she asked him to kill her parents.

The murder took place at the Pan house in Unionville, in Markham. On November 8, 2010, Pan unlocked the front door of the family home when she went to bed, then spoke by phone to Mylvaganam. Shortly afterwards, Mylvaganam and two other people entered the home through the unlocked front door, all carrying guns. In the court testimony, the Crown did not establish the identity of the other two hitmen; Wong and Crawford were at work. Carty stated that he was the driver for those who broke into the house, and that he selected them and was involved in plotting the attack. He did not state that he was one of the three or that he directly attacked others. Grimaldi stated that the identity of the triggerperson remains unknown.

The evening after the murder, Pan underwent her first interview with the police. Pan was arrested on November 22, 2010 during her third interview at the Markham police station (5 District) of York Regional Police. During that interview Pan admitted that she hired killers, but stated that she hired them to kill her. The interrogating police officer, William "Bill" Goetz, falsely told Pan that he had computer software that could analyze untruths in statements and that there were satellites that used infrared technology to analyze movements in buildings; in Canada police are legally allowed to lie to those they are interrogating in regards to the evidence in the trial, as well as in regards to the strategies they are using. Goetz had used the Reid technique to ensnare Pan.

Bich-Ha Pan's funeral was held on November 15, 2010 and took place at the Ogden Chapel in Scarborough. A funeral for Bich Ha's father was held, according to Pan, prior to Bich Ha's to satisfy a Chinese custom that asks for older members of the family to have their funerals first. Jennifer Pan had organized both funerals and had been asked to do so. Bich-Ha was buried on November 19. Hann Pan could not attend due to his injuries.

Jennifer Pan (born 17 June 1986) is a Vietnamese-Canadian woman of Chinese-Vietnamese ancestry who was convicted of a 2010 kill-for-hire attack targeting both of her parents, in response to their alleged severely abusive "tiger parenting" into her mid-20s. The crime took place at the Pan residence in Unionville, Markham, Ontario, in the Greater Toronto Area. Jeremy Grimaldi, a journalist of the Markham Economist & Sun and the author of A Daughter's Deadly Deception: The Jennifer Pan Story, stated that the affair "captivated many, if for nothing else than the sheer intrigue of a case involving matricide, a rarity in Canada."

Jennifer Pan's mother Bich Ha (pronounced "Bick") and father Huei Hann Pan were Sino-Vietnamese (Viet Hoa) immigrants to Canada. Hann was born and educated in Vietnam, moving to Canada in 1979 as a political refugee. Bich also immigrated as a refugee. The couple were married in Toronto and lived in Scarborough. Their two children are Jennifer, born 1986, and Felix, born 1989. The Pans found work at Magna International, an auto parts manufacturer in Aurora, Ontario. Hann worked as a tool and die maker, while Bich made car parts. The couple persistently worked hard for their money to ensure that their children had the upbringing and opportunities they themselves had missed out on. Hann and Bich were thrifty and by 2004 were financially stable enough to purchase a "large" house with a two-car garage on a residential street in Markham, a town with a large Asian population. Bich drove a Lexus ES 300 and Hann drove a Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W203). They had accumulated CAD$200,000 in savings.
