26-year prison term upheld for man over death of infant he was babysitting

There are people who should not be imprisoned for murder, and then there are these who should not see the daylight ever again...

Glad this abusive loser has got a decent sentence, but it’s difficukt to understand how someone like this could keep their job and abuse so many children.

Moderator: Please fix the headline. Infant he was ‘babysitting’

Motte took the boy and his baby brother from Yokohama to his apartment in Fujimi, Saitama Prefecture for the purpose of molestation, and suffocated the boy to death by covering his nose and mouth.

Bastard should have gotten life; not just 26 years. life in solitary confinement

Seriously? I am very disappointed in the justice system here.

Evil.

But I’m sexist enough to say that if I had to leave young kids with a baby-sitter, I’d choose a female every time.

If he wants a shorter scentence I could recommend a 1 meter rope at the top of a 5 meter drop.. I do hope his 26 year is in general population, and all the other prisioners are informed of his crimes, may as well make those 26 years hell.

I appreciate the sentiment, but that's not quite how it works in Japanese prisons.

Why does he get 26 years for killing a two-year-old, but the one who killed a 6 month old only got 7 years?

My bad it was 7 years for fatal abuse, in other words murder, of his two-year-old daughter

My bad again 2 month old I'm too quick on the clicker today

Life in prison is very suitable. A spot of hard labor may also be appropriate

this idiot deserves the death penalty. he not only murdered a child but he also molested that child before doing it. i can't imagine the horrific last few hours of that poor child's life.

A molester and killer of children he will still have plenty of years left to repeat offend once he gets out let's hope there's some jailhouse Justice

let's hope there's some jailhouse Justice

Yeah, everyone says that here but do Japanese prisoners care about kids here like they do in Western countries?

Do they in Western countries? It might me true, however, that Japan has way more child murderers in prisons than Western does, westerners usually kill parents. So this one might just find buddies during his long imprisonment time. Unless it is solitary.

Japanese prisoners hardly interact with each other at all, even when they eat together conversation is banned and those rules are strictly enforced. Violence between inmates is almost unheard of, he will be fine.

I have also heard that that violence in American prisons is highly exaggerated, the times a child abuser is somehow killed in prison or by vigilantes it's all over the papers, but I can only remember one case in the past year where this happened in a prison.
