This is exactly why I would be teaching my daughter how to fight and defend herself! Weirdos like him shouldn't be out walking around freely especially since its summer and women want to walk around in comfortable light clothes without creepos like this one out and about to prey!

The article specifies that he held her against her will and raped her.

So I'm not sure what exactly is confusing you.

Since you're the "expert" on these things or any topic dealing with assault on women, please show me in this article where did it say he "raped" her!

So wait, up until now, what is my daughter's residency? She was born in Japan and is learing to speak Japanese (she's 2)

This seems to be happening far too often!

One can only imaine the hell she was dealing with within her mind!

Japan needs to have severe punishments for these monsters who kill the newborn babies! Because it is in all aspects murder of a human! They (parties involved) believe that they can have a baby and kill the baby without any consequences! This has been happening far too often recently! Japan KNOWS its an ongoing problem for so long that they made a horror movie about the baby someone left in a train station locker. Come on Japan! Be better! Stand up for these innocent and defenseless babies!

AllI said was to man up and take responsibilities for what you did which was push someone over a bridge to their death then ran away from the scene!

The man vehemently denied the allegation while in custody and said he he did not possess any indecent photos of the woman.

He could've been out within a few hours if the police had done some ACTUAL POLICE WORK! Like :

checking to see where the posts came from

checking his phone and computer

check his locations of the phone reception pings based on where the posts were uploaded from

ask for an alibi and follow up on it to see if he is telling the truth!

I pray that none of us end up in police custody under some false arrest because whatever we (non-Japanese) say to prove our innocence, it falls on deaf, clogged ears.

I hope he SUPER LAWYERS up and get them stacks from the police and the ex girlfriend for defamation, false arrest, stress, loss of wages, wrongful termination and just simple existence!

Asanuma told police she gave birth in the toilet of an internet cafe and that she covered the infant’s nose and mouth, suffocating her.

I'm wiping away tears at this sad and short life for this innocent baby :

born in a toilet

denied air (life) shortly after birth

burned badly

> thrown away because the parents didn't want her

Who does this? This is beyond wicked evil! I've been following this story, but I didn't know it was this bad!

I seriously don't understand why would this 1 person not agree with my comment! She just looks for my post and downvotes it without even reading it or knowing what I posted! Just to disagree with me.

Police said Ogura was identified after an analysis of street surveillance camera footage.

The HARDEST worker on the police force! Without it, well..........

Yubaru

DNA left at the scene also led to the couple to being arrested.

The ONLY way this could be even partially true, is if the police had their DNA on record! Without that, there is no way any DNA "left" at the scene, that alone is a mind-boggling statement, could be connected to anyone!

DNA collected from the scene and after testing the couple...... yeah I could wrap my head around that, but that's not the way this is written, so cops potentially have the DNA of everyone in Japan on record, as recently THIS claim is often used here as a reason for people being arrested. (A claim I highly doubt!)

DNA could've been found on the partially burned towel. In this case, hair could've been found on it. They wouod obtain a sample the DNA from the parents after they were found via street cameras and match it to whatever was found on the scene/victim.

Fujiwara told the court he was worn out from looking after her who had needed to use a wheelchair for the past 40 years.

The old taking care of the old always results in something like this!

The family had been discussing putting Teruko into a nursing home but Fujiwara told the court he did not want that.

He was offered help, but refused it! I wonder if his reason for refusing the helpwas a matter of "Japanese pride", the cost or both?

"I'm sorry, I can't find the part where it said he "attacked the police"."

"A 43-year-old police officer also sustained minor injuries after being cut near his right armpit."

Try harder. You can do better than that.

Let me rephrase my comment :

I'm sorry, I can't find the part where it says HE attacked the police.

He could've got that cut in the scuffle while being held down indeliberately! Because if he wanted to, the officer was probably within range for the guy to do real damage.

Try harder. You can do better than that.

You eagerly jump to respond to other commenters, but avoid my simple question, repeated below.

You're right as it seems to be the prominant trend in that community! Some call it cherry picking! I call it "fact-phobia"!

Morita was quoted by police as saying he was ready to die too so he could remarry his wife in heaven.

Well that's a first! Usually it's because they were tired of taking care of the other or some sort of continuous bickering and backering for some time. But this? A sad, beautiful and ugly story.

Don't care how he died. He was wielding a lethal weapon wondering around and had attack the police officers. I wouldn't fault the officers even if they had shot him.

I'm sorry, I can't find the part where it said he "attacked the police".

Perhaps you could fault the failing Japanese system when it comes to mental health and how it isn't really seen as "that big of a problem"? I have a friend who was a cutter. She said she called the help line and all they told her was "Don't do it! Its not good to do that!"

Another man stood behind him and seemed to push him, according to the witness. The second man got into a car and drove off.

What a punk! Man up to your own blank ups!

Police said an autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death.

Sure! They need time to cover it up to make it look like his fault!

At a press conference, a Nasushiobara Police Station spokesperson said, “At this time, we do not believe there was any problem with the officers’ response.”

Of course there wasn't! You know in any case dealing with the Jpolice, there's never just 2 officers. They send out 20-30 to subdue 1 guy, they all pile on him to make him comply and in doing so, crush or rupture something causing internal bleeding. This happened before and it seems like this was possibly the case here. I'm just sharing my opinion through past readings in the news.

Police quoted the boy’s mother as saying she kicked him but didn’t think that would have caused his death. Police said her husband has admitted punching the boy in September and October to discipline him.

What could an innocent 1 year old have POSSIBLY done that greatly equates a kick so hard in the back that he falls face first and dies due to brain damage? My heart hurts for these innocent infants who loose their lives due to the poor and evil acts of these..........unhinged and deranged maniacs!

So.....she caused the death of a newborn helpless infant because of her poor life choices and she got a suspended sentence? That makes as much sense as waterproof flip flop sandals!

Thiswas what I meant how Japan glorifies these types of criminals which opens doors for copycats! What the wrong people would take away from this case would be that you can commit a crime and just carry on in prison with great stastus in the eyes of the media! No one talks about what changes the Abe family have been through, how they dealt with the passing of their loved one. The media goes into the upbringing of this fella, his school life, family life, how he made his device, where he bought it,what he used, what he does leisurely in prison (sounds like a lush life with no real consequences to me) and all this other media attention so others would see this and think "I want that! I want that celebrity status!"

Come on, Japan!

The former professional boxer confessed to the killings during intense interrogation but pleaded not guilty at trial.

Knowing that those were diffrent times, and given the abundance of forced confessions due to physical abuse, threats made by the police and all the physical and mental torture that ran rampant in all stations that were fueled by mass corruptions and cover-ups,. cases like these should be put under a microscope due to the amount of potentially innocent people tho had their freedon taken away all because of the egos of many of these officers. I say this because my wife's grandfather was an ex police officer in Kyoto and Tokyo back in the mid 70s. Some of the stories of torture and abuse he told us about that he and his collegues did (punches to the face/stomach/head/legs, closed fist slammed down on an open hand, cig burns, no food for a few days just to have food brandished in front of them JUST to force them to confess to something they didn't do, threats to their families, hair yanked violently) told me alot about the ins and outs of the system.

the man, who was intoxicated when they arrived, has denied the charge and quoted him as saying he can’t remember anything.

Again, didn't even have to read the article, but already knew he was drunk and couldn't remember. Second time this excuse was used today!

 They said he has denied the charge and quoted him as saying he has no recollection of the incident.

I didn't even rewad the article because I KNEW this was his excuse!

So if I admit to a crime, I would get a suspended sentence? Because that's the message here!

This is precisely why there should be security cameras in every room. Murder is no joke. 

You're right! Murder isn't a joke! But surely your point is! You do know that would be illigal! That's li8ke me saying "I'm going to install cameras in ALL the bathrooms to make sure nobody isn't stealing my toilet paper!"

EFD

I sew you on that limb and I'll take a step further with "I was drunk and I can't remember!"

 I am sure that no one will miss a drug mule.

What a horrible thing to say? What if he was doing it to get some money to save his child or feed his family? He was a human! Doesn't matter who you are or what you did, somebody would miss them.

(accidentially hit send) Ghosn, they had NO EVIDENCE or proof to get a solid case against him and he got the treatment like a horrible criminal! So as any sane court case/lawyer would see it, "no proof, no evidence, no witness = no case".
