鈥楾witter killer鈥 given death rap
Print Edition
A JAPANESE man dubbed the 鈥淭witter killer鈥 was sentenced to death by a Tokyo court yesterday for murdering and dismembering nine people he met online.
Takahiro Shiraishi, 30, admitted killing and butchering his young victims who he met on the social media platform.
His lawyers had argued he should receive a prison sentence because his victims, aged between 15 and 26, expressed suicidal thoughts on social media and so had consented to death.
But yesterday 鈥渢he death sentence was handed down鈥 to Shiraishi, a court official said.
鈥淣one of the nine victims consented to be killed, including silent consent,鈥 public broadcaster NHK quoted the judge.
鈥淚t is extremely grave that the lives of nine young people were taken away. The dignity of the victims was trampled upon,鈥 the judge reportedly added.
