Zama 9 people murder trial Bereaved family "compensating for the crime that robbed the irreplaceable future" November 10, 17:44
In the case where nine bodies, including a young woman, were found in an apartment in Zama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, trials began on the 10th regarding the cases of the 8th and 9th victims, and the bereaved family said, "The defendant is himself. I want you to atone for your sins even if you return to life. "
Three years ago, in October 2017, in an apartment in Zama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, where the bodies of nine men and women were found, Takahiro Shiraishi (30) sexually assaulted him, killed nine people, and robbed him of cash. As a result, the defendant's lawyer alleged that he had agreed to kill all the victims on charges of robbery and murder.
From the 10th, a hearing began on a 25-year-old woman in Yokohama City who was killed in October 2017 and a 23-year-old woman in Hachioji City, Tokyo, and the prosecution stated in the opening statement, "The two met the defendant. He never said, "I want to die together," and I didn't agree or consent to be killed. "
On the other hand, the defendant's attorney said, "Each victim has a life problem, meets the defendant on his own initiative, and is taking the medicine that was under the defendant." There was no consent to kill. " The prosecution's allegations remain questionable. "
In a subsequent cross-examination of witnesses, a female mother in Yokohama said, "My daughter wants to get married and raise a child by about 30 years old." To the defendant who robbed her of her irreplaceable future. I want you to reflect on it enough and to atone for your sins even if you return to your own life. "
Defendant questions will be asked on the 11th.
