Teen arrested over murder of parents in Kanagawa Prefecture

I wish they would let people know if he was being abused? Forcing a confession but, not forcing him to say why he did it? Is a child allowed to report abuse in Japan? Perhaps there was a reason? Think about that before you say throw him in prison! If there was no reason, then yes, throw him in prison but, get him help at the same time!

The death penalty for him.

10 years from now, he will be a free man! Japanese justice system is the best.

Death Penalty for him?

The main points that must be taken into account:

1) He's a minor

2) He may have had strong reasons for committing this crime....was he being abused by his parents?

Sad story!

Deserves good old gallows..

Senseless violence is always wrong, but it is specially tragic when it happens inside a family. Too soon to say anything else at this point.

The death penalty for him.

What about a trial first?

This is disturbing. We need to understand what caused such violence. Violence often begets violence.

Put him in a penitentiary and throw away the key. If you murder, particularly at such a young age, you’ve got faulty wiring and are a complete write off.

Perhaps. But I am reminded of a similar case where a 15 year old murdered his parents in the US, escaped from prison and then went on to become a loving and supportive father to 3 kids in Australia. The truth was only discovered after he died, and by all accounts he was a great father. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/09/australia/australia-william-leslie-arnold-cold-case-intl-hnk-dst/index.html

3) It's possible he did not do it.

True. Also...

4) It's possible he killed his dad because his dad had killed his mum.

These brief articles are not very helpful.

Trying to escape, boy?
