Japan schoolgirl, 15, arrested for murdering, dismembering classmate

TOKYO (AFP) - 15-year-old Japanese schoolgirl has been arrested on suspicion of murdering a classmate and dismembering her body.


The suspect, whose name has not been released, admitted strangling the victim and severing her head and left hand, Kyodo news agency reported on Sunday.

She allegedly delivered blows to the head of 15-year-old Aiwa Matsuo with a metal instrument before strangling her in the city of Sasebo, in Nagasaki Prefecture, south-west Japan.

The victim's body was found on a bed in the suspect's apartment early on Sunday and investigators discovered tools nearby, reports said.

The suspect, who lived away from her parents though in the same city, told police she acted alone, the news agency reported.

Matsuo had reportedly gone out to meet friends on Saturday afternoon but her parents notified police when she failed to return at night.

The two girls graduated from the same high school.

Violent crime is still relatively rare in Japan but several high-profile cases in recent years have heightened concern.
The city of Sasebo made headlines in 2004 when a primary schoolgirl stabbed her classmate to death.

In 2008 a man went on a stabbing rampage in a crowded Tokyo shopping street, killing seven people and wounding a dozen others.

..often in China and Japan, it's because of a "must be top" mentality.

Many children are under great pressure to get top grades, and have the latest, what ever...

The work ethic is paramount to "life", instead of a provider for family and fun

...all stabbings.

So, a "minor"... Because this particular girl is somewhere between 24 & 36 mos younger than a person of "legal age", we are therefore to assume she doesn't "get" what killing is? (She stabbed the victim to death, THEN cut off the head, then a hand...)

Yeah it probably happened after she watched a VHS tape that was sent to her in a plain brown wrapper. She watches the grainy images of a spooky looking school girl with hair covering her face doing violent act to animals that she then drops into a round stone well.
The next thing you know, she's hacking up her school mate, but not before sending the VHS tape to another.....victim.
It would make a great Japanese film.

Perhaps that had bearing but more likely just very sick in the head. Whatever, she knew what she was doing and should take the consequences. Like the little prick in the UK that stabbed his teacher to death recently, they're old enough to know right from wrong and should be gracing the gallows. World is already overpopulated, thus it should be obligatory that bad eggs be removed.

Nah. She'll probably do some time in some sort of mental hospital or juvenile "institution", then write a book and become wealthy from the movie rights. "Enlightened progressives" will flock to see it. Eventually, she'll show up on the Japanese version of Oprah saying she "made a mistake but learned from it"... The family of her victims will be mostly ignored by the media and never really be much heard from again. (Here in the U.S., she'd eventually run for office ............ and win.)
