January is proving to be a big month for true crime on Netflix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve explored the financial crimes of Ponzi scheme mastermind Bernie Madoff in Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street<\/a> and heard the story of mob boss Dawood Ibrahim<\/a> in Mumbai Mafia\u00a0\u2013 but now the streamer is uncovering the dark side to a internet star in The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker.<\/p>\n

The upcoming documentary looks at the story of viral sensation Kai, who was the star of a 2013 news report in which he spoke of saving a woman from an attack by hitting the assailant with his hatchet.<\/p>\n

While the Canadian hitchhiker became popular internet fodder in the months that followed, events took a grisly turn when he was charged with bludgeoning a 73-year-old lawyer to death.<\/p>\n

With The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker diving into Kai\u2019s story, here\u2019s everything we know about the documentary\u2019s subject and where he is now.<\/p>
