Father cleared of aiding daughter in Sapporo hotel beheading murder

Once again I’m left shaking my head over another suspended sentence.

The defense admitted that Tamura purchased the saw and dropped off and picked up Runa near the hotel in Sapporo's Susukino entertainment district, where the killing occurred.

so this guy gets to go free? can he also keep his medical license? this is really nuts!

Baffling. He is surely culpable in numerous ways. Friends in high places??

This was very much premeditated on his part even if he didn't do the actuall killing.

The father drove his daughter anywhere she wanted and even slept in a nearby internet cafe as the family home was full of Runa's possessions.

This is a very dysfunctional family.

He bought his daughter a saw for her rendezvous with the man at a hotel. What did he, and the court, think she was going to do with it? Play hide-n-seek?! Japanese people can't be this naive can they?
