Junior High School Girl Stabbed a Mother and Daughter — Her Motive is More Terrifying than the Crime!
“A woman screams that went on for more than a minute. When I went outside, I found three women struggling with each other on the street as if they were trying to perform a judo move. One of the older women shouted, “Let go of me! ‘ she yelled. The girl who was struggling with her had a knife in her hand.”
A man who lives nearby recalls the violent act that took place near a downtown area in Tokyo.
The incident took place after 7 p.m. on August 20. The location is Maruyamacho in Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, about 700 meters west of JR Shibuya Station, and although there are restaurants nearby, there are few pedestrians. On a quiet street, a junior high school student (15) from Toda City, Saitama Prefecture, suddenly stabbed her mother (53) and daughter (19) from behind with a knife while they were walking.
“The mother and daughter were on their way home in Suginami Ward. The girl was carrying a knife with a blade of about 8.5 cm in length. The mother was stabbed in both shoulders, abdomen and back. The daughter was stabbed in the left arm and back. The wound on the daughter’s back was more than 10 cm deep, indicating a strong intent to kill. Both mother and daughter are alive, but they will be seriously injured for more than three months,” said a reporter from a national newspaper.
The daughter was exhausted.
The girl left home around noon on the day of the incident.
I’m going to cram school.
She told her mother that she was going to cram school, and took a train to JR Shinjuku Station. She walked around from Shinjuku, looking for a place with few pedestrians, and arrived at the scene of the crime. A male resident of the area mentioned above said, “The daughter was stabbed in the back.”
The daughter, who had been stabbed in the back, was very exhausted. While the mother and the girl were struggling, an employee of a nearby restaurant took the knife from the girl’s hand. The employee threw the knife away (so that it would not become a weapon again) two to three meters away. So the people around them worked together to subdue the girl. The girl was dressed casually in shorts and a T-shirt, but she seemed somewhat gloomy.
