It has been 1997 years since a sixth-grade boy was murdered by a 6-year-old boy in the 14 Kobe City serial murder of children. In October last year, it was revealed that the case records of the Kobe child serial murder case had been destroyed.
Since then, it has been found that juvenile cases and civil court records have been destroyed one after another in courts around the country. The Supreme Court is investigating the circumstances of the disposal and will soon release a report and take measures to prevent recurrence.
