I also enjoy how the article gives more information on the JHS boy than the three "future" adult males.

I'm sure they will all confess before long. This is Japan after all.

This is not some criminal underworld, but a few teenage hoodlums. The kid did well to confess because of his age. His evidence will send the others down unless they confess.
