The case in which nine bodies, including a young woman, were found in an apartment in Zama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, is an intermediate case between the prosecution and a lawyer regarding the cases of four victims, including high school girls in Saitama and Fukushima, who have been heard since last month. There were many statements and arguments.

In October 2017, in the case where the bodies of nine men and women were found in an apartment in Zama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, accused Takahiro Shiraishi (30) sexually assaulted and killed nine people and robbed them of cash. Have been accused of such crimes.



At the trial, the issue was whether the victim had agreed to be killed, and on the 5th, the prosecution and the attorney attorney said about the cases of the 4th to 7th victims such as high school girls in Saitama and Fukushima. Both sides expressed their opinions.

In this, the prosecution said, "Even if the victims go to the defendant's home with the intention of committing suicide, the limit of consent is to hang himself with the defendant, and he will be strangled without confirming his intention. It is not that they are fainted and sexually assaulted and killed. The essence of the case is to lure and kill the victim for the purpose of satisfying sexual desire and earning money, and there was no consent to kill. " Insisted.



On the other hand, the attorney said, "As expected in the prior communication with the defendant, the victims went to the defendant's home to kill him for the purpose of killing himself, and he said" I want you to stop "or" I want to go home. " There were also inconsistent explanations of the defendant in the trial, such as the situation when the victim resisted, and it is doubtful that there was "no consent" for the killing. " Insisted.



The defendant listened with his eyes closed, but occasionally he saw the paper on his desk and opened his notebook.



The next trial will make an opening statement about the cases of the 8th and 9th victims.
