Investigation is difficult because of the “serial murders without bodies.

S and K were eventually arrested and charged with the murder and disposal of the bodies of four people, including Mr. A. S’s modus operandi was to make the victims drink strychnine nitrate, a deadly poison used to kill dogs, as a nutritional supplement, after receiving a prescription from a doctor. The victims were then taken to the mountains of Gunma Prefecture, where Y, the “body disposal staff,” lived, and the corpses were dismembered. The organs and flesh were chopped into small pieces and poured into a river, and the bones were incinerated after the flesh was scraped clean.

The trial was protracted due to the lack of physical evidence, including the body, and the fact that the ex-couple, S and K, vehemently blamed each other for the crime. In March 2001, the Urawa District Court accepted the prosecution’s argument almost in its entirety and sentenced S and K to death and Y, who was charged with destruction and abandonment of the bodies, to three years in prison.” In June 2009, the Supreme Court rejected a motion to amend the sentence, and S and K were sentenced to death.

In addition to the gang leader reported by this magazine, a former clerk at a pet store owned by S and a woman who ran a snack bar were also missing around S, even if only reported. Some of these were quite likely to have been involved by S. However, since the bodies were never found, etc., the case was ultimately dropped.

S died of illness in the Tokyo Detention Center in March 2005, and K was imprisoned in the Tokyo Detention Center as of September 2008, denying any involvement in the murders.

A human being “erased” by human hands…. This case, which has shaken the world, still leaves many mysteries unanswered.
