Another one bites the dust...

Granted, when put up against the massiveness of the US, Japan got very little to come with in terms of serial killers and mass murderers. But one of those who tried to keep the Japan flag up there finally, almost 20 years after his crimes, met his fate today Tuesday the 17th at the end of a rope in a Japanese prison by the hangman's hands.

Obviously I'm talking about Tsutomu Miyazaki, one of the few and brave that has been trying to hold the Japanese flag high in the face of such legends as Jeff Dahmer, Ted Bundy, JW Gacy and all those other high profile killers. Miyazaki might not be able to touch any of those in sheer numbers, but the insanity is definately up there with the worst of them. Not only killing little girls but eating parts of them, keeping body parts as trophies and then tormenting the families with mocking notes and being hardcore into anime and gore movies is pretty high up there in terms of insanity. Also, he was from Saitama, an ugly and barren place which is a breeding ground for people like this...

The wheels of justice grinds very slowly here in Japan and maybe in twenty years the Akihabara knife psycho might be getting his due. However you feel about the death penalty I think the conclusion here is; if anyone deserved this, Miyazaki got what was coming for him.

Meanwhile, in Yokohama, Issei Sagawa is cooking his dinner...
