Good.

They should make clear, hard examples that ANY prosecution of people taking up "yami baito" will get the harshest, most lengthy sentence possible no matter the capacity of participation.

Brave old lady, rest in peace. Hope the scumbags have their crowbar experience in jail every day.

Good to know that this violent man is locked away for a very long time.

I don't understand what such criminals are thinking, beating a 90 year old woman to death, for what?

If he enters a home as a burglar and is running away immediately without harming anybody with some stolen items and/or money in case somebody notices him, he would get away with a very lenient sentence.

Absolutely no excuse for what he did, life sentence is fully justified.

There is no life sentence in Japan, only 無期懲役 which on average is 31 years.
