Playback ’14] “I wanted to look inside her body,” a high school girl who murdered her classmate, “Signal” just before the murder.

On August 4, ’14, X child’s father revealed the following details about the events leading up to the incident through his lawyer.

After the beating of his father four months prior to the incident, Xoko was sent to a psychiatrist, and he started living alone because his father was warned by the doctor that his life was in danger if he slept in the same house. Also, on July 23, three days before the incident, on the way to the psychiatrist’s office, Xko confided to her stepmother in a serious tone that she wanted to kill someone. She discussed this with the doctor, but he did not take her very seriously. She also asked him to hospitalize her the day before the incident, but this did not happen. In the end, they reached an agreement to contact the child consultation service, but they were unable to discuss the matter because the staff was not available that day outside of working hours.

On October 5, ’14, X child’s father was found hanged in his home. Although there was no suicide note, it is believed to be a suicide.

On July 13, 2003, the Nagasaki Family Court decided to send the child to a juvenile medical care facility for protective custody. The summary of the decision declared that the crime was“a pleasure killing in which a defenseless friend who trusted the girl was suddenly attacked in order to satisfy his desire to murder and dissect the corpse, and he took her life while inflicting unimaginable pain and abuse of the corpse, trampling on human dignity. The court also stated that “ASD did not directly lead to delinquency, but environmental factors also had an influence.

The abstract of the decision revealed that in the fifth grade, he was attracted to a dead cat he saw while leaving school, and began to kill cats. Then, in the sixth grade, there was an incident in which a foreign substance was mixed into school lunches, but there was no ongoing counseling or anything like that. While he made close friends and adjusted to school as he entered junior high school, he began not only to kill cats but also to dismember them, and gradually began to think that he wanted to kill people. He also learned that he would be more likely to face criminal penalties after the age of 16, so he decided to carry out the murder and dismantling before he turned 16.

In July 2009, when Child X turned 23 years old, the director of the facility where he was placed applied to the Nagasaki Family Court for continued placement. The Asahi Shimbun reported on September 15 that the family court had decided to allow the continuation of the detention until 2012 on the grounds that the child had a severe mental disorder and needed to continue specialized correctional education. According to the law, the decision made by the family court will cease to be effective when Child X turns 26 in the summer of ’24 and will not be extended.
