He said he wanted to go to an art university or vocational school and get a design-related job.

"I became a deputy director in the drama club in junior high school and was loved by my juniors. I felt that I had grown up after three years without saying that I wanted to stop even with strict guidance."

Tell me to go to school

Why did the girl go to Zama where Shiraishi was?



The schoolgirl, who was not good at submitting school submissions such as homework on time, according to evidence shown in court, had not completed her summer vacation homework.



Two days before the opening ceremony, I browsed a suicide-related site and posted "# suicide recruitment" on Twitter, and the defendant came in contact with me.

On the day of the opening ceremony of the second semester, I told my parents that I was going to school, left my home, and finally lost my whereabouts after exiting the ticket gate of a station in Kanagawa prefecture.



Neither family nor friends were aware that the schoolgirl was interacting with suicide.

Prosecutor "What about the conversation on the way to the park?"



Defendant "I'm not talking because I'm still at a distance."



Prosecutor "After that?"



Defendant "I arrived at the park and had a conversation."



Prosecutor "What is that?"



Defendant "I think I dug deeper and talked about why I wanted to die."



Prosecutor "What were you talking about?"



Defendant "

I was talking

about'family and school relationships aren't working.'"



He also describes the impression he met.



Prosecutor "What was your impression of the girl student?"



Defendant "I thought he was a very polite and serious child."



Prosecutor "Did you hear about your age or grade?"



Defendant "I think he said he was 15 years old in the first year of high school."



Prosecutor "Did you find it difficult to withdraw money when you heard that?"



Defendant "Yes, I thought."

I'm going to live

The defendant moves to a different park from the schoolgirl.

He testified about the reason, "I thought I wouldn't come to my house suddenly."



The court is followed by prosecutor questions.



Defendant "I moved from the previous park and sat down on the bench in the next park and talked. I mainly listened to my worries and tried to praise my appearance, but it failed and I said,'I'm going home.' I remember doing it. "



The girl student then sent a message to the defendant on LINE.

Exchange on LINE

Girl student "I'm sorry, I'm going to live as a result of various thoughts. I'm sorry for talking to you. It's hard to say directly."



Defendant "OK, it's okay."


(SNS exchanges shown by the prosecutor)



Prosecutor "

Is this a

confirmation just in case, but did LINE instruct and send it?"



Defendant "No".



Prosecutor "Did (the girl student) think for herself and send it on her own will?"



Defendant "Yes, that's right."



Prosecutor "What did you talk about after that?"



Defendant "I used to praise my appearance and argue, but I thought that policy was no longer good. I somehow felt that I had a desire to apply for a runaway, so I said," My house lives alone near here. I'm doing it, so if you like, I'll come to my house and live. I'll feed you for a while. "



Prosecutor "What is the reaction of the female students?"



Defendant "I got a polite response saying,'Are you sure?'".



There was also a question from the judge.



Judge "Why do you think you sent the message'I'm going to live'?"



Defendant "My perception and guess is that I met him to die together, but I was a little troubled and thought that this person would not die, so I sent this wording on my way home. I think".



Judge "Why is that?"



Defendant "I was in trouble because I was arguing. I sent it on the way because I didn't feel like dying."

The schoolgirl rejoined the defendant and headed for the apartment at the scene of the incident.

Why murder

When asked when he decided to kill him, the defendant said, "I'm in the middle of meeting and going around the park. I decided to go wild because I didn't have any savings or income to make money."

As for the attorney's claim, "Did you agree that the victim was killed?"



Prosecutor "Did the girl student say or do you want me to kill you?"



Defendant "I didn't."



Prosecutor "Did you have suicidal ideation at this point?"



Defendant "I felt it wasn't there."

For attorney questions

On the other hand, the defendant who did not answer the lawyer's question.



"When I said that I would like to accept the indictment and end the trial as soon as possible because it would be a nuisance to my relatives, I initially agreed, but at the stage of arranging the issues, I insisted that I would fight as an attorney, and my hope was It wasn't accepted. "

(From the accused



's

question)

Regarding the female students, she chose a question and showed an attitude to answer the confirmation of the facts.



However, there was no question from the attorney about the girl student's message, "I'm going to live."

Daughter wanted to live

The court also read the records of the schoolgirl's parents.



It mentions that the girl student was thinking about her mother's birthday present the month after the incident and that she was preparing a lunch box for the new semester.

He also planned to go to live shows and Disneyland.



"When I heard that my daughter was sending a message saying,'I'm going to live,' I knew she wanted to live. She wasn't good at expressing her feelings, so she was worried. I think I sent a message to him. I would like to ask the criminal if he was willing to kill a 15-year-old high school student for his own self-interest and how he felt about his daughter. "

(From my mother's record)



"Maybe I was told, but if I had a problem, I wanted you to talk. If you talked to us, I might not have had such a result. My daughter must die. I have no idea why I should do it. All I want to say to the criminal is an unforgivable word. "

(From my father's record)

Future trial

From beginning to end, the defendant answered the question in a straightforward manner.



On the 19th of this month, the prosecution and attorneys will hold a statement and argument about the three victims to express their opinions on issues.



After that, trials will begin for the other four victims.
