A man dubbed the “Twitter thug” after killing and cutting the bodies of nine people after being lured through social networks in Japan, yesterday, Wednesday, admitted to a Tokyo court that he committed the crimes, “Euronews” reported, according to local media.
The public NHK channel reported that Takahiro Shiraishi, 29, accused of storing the dismembered bodies of his victims in refrigerators, did not object to any of the murder charges against him, stressing that they are “all true.”
He is also suspected of rape, according to Japanese media.
Terrifying Halloween morning
On the morning of “Halloween” in 2017, the Japanese police discovered a terrible scene inside Takahiro Shiraishi’s house. They found nine decapitated bodies with at least 240 pieces of bone hidden in refrigerators and kit boxes while trying to hide the evidence by spraying them with materials intended to feed cats. .
It is suspected that the man chose his victims, who ranged between the ages of 15 and 26, who had a suicidal tendency.
Police arrested Shiraishi three years ago during their investigation into the loss of a 23-year-old woman who wrote a tweet in which she wanted to commit suicide. After losing the young woman, her brother managed to call from her Twitter account and noticed a username that raised suspicions in her exchanges over the network.
The defendant’s attorneys requested that the charge against their client be reduced to “consensual murder,” a crime punishable by imprisonment between six months and seven years, on the grounds that the victims had agreed to be killed, according to NHK.
If convicted of murder, Takahiro Shiraishi faces a possible death sentence, which is carried out in Japan by hanging.
In an interview with a local newspaper, the defendant contradicted the opinion of his defense attorneys, asserting that the murders he committed took place “without the consent” of the victims.
More than 600 people lined up in front of the court in an attempt to gain one of the 13 seats reserved for the public in the first session of the trial, according to Japan’s Public Channel.
Japan has the highest suicide rate among the most advanced G7 industrialized countries, with more than 200,000 suicides annually. However, this rate has decreased since it reached its highest level in 2003.
