Doctors suspected of murder of part-time worker How to not detect euthanasia on bulletin board Did you recruit a method on July 27, 4:51
In a part-time murder case in which a Kyoto city woman suffering from intractable ALS was murdered, one of the doctors arrested seemed to have been seeking a method to prevent euthanasia from being posted on an internet bulletin board half a year before the case. I found out through interviews with investigators.
Both doctors, Susumu Okubo (42) and Naoki Yamamoto (43), received a request from a 51-year-old woman in Kyoto City who suffered from intractable ALS in which the muscles of the whole body gradually stopped working in November last year. He was arrested on suspicion of a part-time murder for administering a drug and killing him.
According to police investigations so far, it seems that Dr. Okubo opened a bulletin board called "euthanasia research group" on the Internet in May last year, half a year before the incident, and was seeking a method to prevent euthanasia from being discovered. I found out by interviewing the people involved in the investigation.
On the bulletin board, a person with the same account name as Dr. Okubo's SNS said, "I want to share my wisdom and experience in order to break the current situation of being forced to live long and mischievous on a field basis." I hope I can share some tips."
I also urge other contributors not to use words such as casual murder or suicide aid.
At that time, Dr. Okubo seemed to have continued to communicate with the deceased woman via SNS, and the police may have been aware of the illegality, and is investigating the relationship with the case.
