19 years imprisonment for a vocational school student murder man Tokyo District Court October 2, 17:49 without murder-robbery

The Tokyo District Court did not admit that the murder-robbery was established against the defendant who was accused of murder-robbery for murdering a 20-year-old woman who was a vocational school student in Nerima-ku, Tokyo. He was sentenced to 19 years in prison for being guilty.

Unemployed Yoshinobu Kumazawa (29) killed Natsuki Taniguchi (20), a vocational school student, in a dormitory in Nerima Ward in 2018, carried the body to Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture, and used a credit card. He was charged with murder-robbery and abandonment of the corpse for robbing him.



The prosecutor's office was sentenced to life imprisonment, while the defendant argued for part of the indictment, saying he had admitted to killing him but had no purpose in stealing money.

In a ruling on the 2nd, Tokyo District Court Judge Toshiro Nohara said, "It is admitted that the murder was motivated by the entanglement of the farewell story. A tool for abandoning the body with the cash drawn with the card. It is unnatural for a person who had the purpose of stealing money before the murder, such as using it to purchase a murder, "he pointed out, and decided that he was guilty of murder and theft without admitting the murder of robbery.



He sentenced him to 19 years in prison, saying, "The motive is selfish and short-circuited. The abandonment of the body should be strongly criticized."
