Zama 9 murder case trial Begins trial of 4 victims including high school girls October 21, 18:01

In the case where nine bodies, including a young woman, were found in an apartment in Zama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, trials began on the 21st for four victims in Saitama and Fukushima.

Three years ago, in October 2017, when the bodies of nine men and women were found in an apartment in Zama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Takahiro Shiraishi (30) sexually assaulted and killed nine people and robbed them of cash. He has been charged with murder-robbery and other crimes.



In a trial that began last month, the defendant's attorney alleged that the victim had agreed to be killed.



From the 21st, trials began on four people, including a female university student in Saitama and a female high school student in Fukushima, who were killed in September 2017, and the prosecution stated in the opening statement, "Each victim said to the defendant just before the incident. I didn't say "I want you", and I didn't have any consent or consent to be killed. "



Meanwhile, the defendant's attorney claimed, "The four suffered various anguish and wanted to die and headed to the defendant's room. They expected the defendant to achieve the consequences of death."



In the afternoon, a question was asked about the female university student who was 19 years old in Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture, and the prosecutor asked, "Did the victim say" I want to die "or" I want you to die together "?" In response, the defendant said, "I didn't."



The prosecutor also revealed that the defendant initially used two Twitter accounts to contact at least 37 accounts and asked him why he had more accounts before killing the female college student. "To invite women more efficiently," he explained.
