[Detailed report] Zama 9 murder trial Where did your mother go?

November 5, 15:49

Defendant Takahiro Shiraishi, who has plainly described in court how he is taking the lives of the victims.

The woman, who was 26 at the time, was the fifth victim to have a daughter.

"I still ask,'Where did your mom go?'"

The ex-husband spoke in court in a sad heart.

Fifth victim

October 21st.

Of the nine victims, a hearing has begun on four women who were killed in September 2017.

Defendants stated that the motive for the killing was to continue to rob women of money and sexually assault them.

A 26-year-old woman in Saitama Prefecture, who was called "E" in court, was the fifth victim.

According to the evidence shown in the courtroom, Mr. E has been married and previously lived with his parents-in-law.

However, it becomes mentally unstable due to changes in the living environment.

After that, he was diagnosed with depression and was receiving home-visit nursing care.

Where did your mom go?

Mr. E had a daughter.

Mr. E's ex-husband testified in court as follows.

"There is no doubt that he was kindly loving his children. Although he was not wealthy, he had a feeling of caring for others, giving priority to children over himself. Somewhere again with his daughter and three people. I also wanted to live. "

Prosecutor "How old is your daughter now?"

Former husband "I'm 9 years old".

Prosecutor "Do you know that your mother died?"

Motoo "I don't know. I still ask,'Where did your mother go?'"

Prosecutor "Why didn't you tell?"

Motoo "I don't have the courage to say it."

Former husband "I can't have agreed"

At the trial, the issue is whether the victim agreed to the killing.

The ex-husband strongly denied that Mr. E could not have consented to the murder.

(From a witness cross-examination).

Prosecutor "This trial focuses on consent."

Motoo "There is absolutely no consent."

Prosecutor "Where are you from?"

Former husband "Leaving a child ... I was concerned about my child's health just because I was divorced. It is absolutely impossible."

Mr. E has had an attempted suicide.

The ex-husband said he didn't really want it, he just wanted him to stop suicide.

The LINE message that Mr. E exchanged with his ex-husband exuded fear of death.

(LINE exchanges shown by the prosecution).

Mr. E "I'm afraid of dying, no, is it sad if we die?"

Former husband "I'm sad. It's natural."

Mr. E sent a message to the defendant, "It seems that I want to live somewhere in my heart. I want to die but I want to live, it is difficult."

As my heart continued to shake, I was involved in the incident.

The ex-husband concludes with the prosecutor's question.

Prosecutor "What about the defendant?"

Former husband "I can't forgive you honestly. I'm sentenced to death. I want you to suffer."

Two women invited at the same time

As the hearing progressed, it became clear that the defendant had met two women at the same time before killing Mr. E and had invited them into the room.

The two were called "D" and "Kou" in court, respectively.

It was Mr. A who first met the defendant.

Like the other victims, Mr. A gets to know the defendant through SNS and is invited to his home.

Prosecutor "Did Mr. A also tweet that he wanted to die?"

Defendant "was".

Prosecutor "(Mr. Kou) came home?

".

Defendant "Yes".

Prosecutor "Why at home?"

Defendant "Since the purpose of meeting Mr. A is complete at this point, I think he is bringing him home to see if he has money."

Prosecutor "Bring it in and see what the result is?"

Defendant "I thought it would be money. I knew that I had income while listening to personal information and worries."

Prosecutor "Did you think that the atmosphere would give you money?"

Defendant "Yes, there was."

After that, Mr. A stayed in the defendant's room.

It is said that he learned that Mr. D was sacrificed during this time.

Do not kill if you show an easy-to-understand favor

Prior to the killing of nine people, the defendant was convicted in another case and suspended sentence, so he could be sentenced to prison if he was found guilty of financial trouble or sexual assault.

The defendant, who was afraid of it, thought that he should not be killed.

What did the defendant think when Mr. A learned of Mr. D's case?

The prosecutor's question is answered as follows.

"I showed my feelings of trust, romance, and addiction, and that was so clear that I thought I would be in trouble if I was gone as a result of talking to the police."

The judge also asks a question.

Judge "Have you ever thought of killing Mr. Ko to seal his mouth?"

Defendant "Yes, no."

Judge "Did you intend to kill if you couldn't pull the money?"

Defendant "I might have thought if there was such a change when we were together."

Judge "If it fails, did you intend to kill it?"

Defendant "I didn't have that idea because I had a relationship of trust at the time."

Mr. A, who had paid for living expenses and meals at the request of the defendant, then returned home saying, "Because my mother is worried."

I spent about 10 days in the defendant's room.

(From the accused question).

"I was thinking about going out with someone who showed an easy-to-understand favor with me, without killing him."

It can be seen that there was a line between the defendants who invited the woman to be killed or not.

Future trial

Defendants rarely answer the attorney's question, saying, "I will remain silent."

On the other hand, he testified plainly to questions from prosecutors and judges, saying, "I had the pleasure and pleasure of suddenly attacking a woman. I felt the thrill."

In November, some bereaved families will make statements after hearing about the remaining two victims.

Then, the prosecution and the attorney will give their opinions on the weight of the sentence and so on.
