Former resident stabbed at Shibuya Ward
In February last year, a 24-year-old former resident who was not prosecuted for being stabbed and killed at a child care center in Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, was criminal liability following a resolution of the prosecution review board. As a result of re-investigating the ability, etc., he was charged again.
The Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office (MEXT) reported a 24-year-old former resident who was arrested for suspecting murder in a case where a chief of the facility was stabbed and killed by a kitchen knife in a children's home in Shibuya Ward last February. Last May, he investigated the criminal liability and other charges and found that he was not charged.
However, the Tokyo 6th Public Prosecutor's Examination Committee, which was examined in response to the bereaved family's complaint, decided in October last year that the indictment was inadequate and the judgment was unsatisfactory, and that the prosecution was unfair, and the prosecutor was re-investigating.
As a result, the investigation was terminated on July 7 with the former resident being prosecuted again.
The bereaved family said, "I am very sorry that the perpetrators wanted to be fully clarified at the criminal trial and that the perpetrators wanted to look back on the case. And I am very grateful to the prosecution review board for making a swift decision and to the prosecutor's office for carefully re-investigating. "
Survivors' comments
Mr. Omori's wife commented in writing that the case was again uncharged.
"We are very sorry about this non-prosecution, because we wanted to see the full picture of the case at criminal trials and hope that the perpetrators would look back on the case.
On the other hand, I would like to thank all of the more than 10,000 people who signed for prosecution, the prosecution review board who issued a swift decision, and the Public Prosecutor's Office who carefully re-investigated.
In the future, in cases where criminal liability cannot be held against the assailant as in this case, how would you create opportunities for providing information to the victims and expressing their opinions, and how to protect the dignity of the victims? I would like to find a way to raise issues in society little by little. "
