Former college student sentenced to 5 years in prison for murder for recruiting suicide applicants at SNS Tokyo District Court April 6, 12:23

Last year, the Tokyo District Court said in a statement to a former college student accused of part-time murder that he had killed a woman who had called for suicide applicants at SNS at a hotel in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. That's 5 years in prison. "

A former college student in Iruma City, Saitama Prefecture, Mizuki Kitajima (22) commissioned a suicide applicant on Twitter last September and commissioned a 36-year-old woman who had been contacted for strangling and killing her at a hotel in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. He was charged with murder.

The defendant acknowledged the charges and the prosecutor was seeking seven years in prison.

In a ruling on the 6th, Tokyo District Court Judge Hideki Inmoda said, "The defendant sought to help by committing suicide," but he was lightly involved in suicide without knowing the victim's circumstances deeply. It cannot be helping people, it is antisocial to downplay the value of human life. "

He then sentenced him to five years in prison for being "highly malicious among contract murders."

The presiding judge sentenced the ruling, and then told the defendant, "It was too obvious to write it in the sentence, but I would like you to reconsider the importance and weight of life. It seems that the defendant also had a desire to commit suicide. I want you to think about what to do next. "
