Junko Furuta. The girl who went through 44 days of torture. DAY 1: November 22, 1988: Kidnapped Kept captive in house, and posed as one of boy’s girlfriend Raped (over 400 times in total) Forced to call her parents and tell them she had run away Starved and malnutritioned Fed cockroaches to eat and urine to drink Forced to masturbate Forced to strip in front of others Burned with cigarette lighters Foreign objects inserted into her vagina/anus DAY 11: December 1, 1988: Severely beat up countless times Face held against concrete ground and jumped on Hands tied to ceiling and body used as a punching bag Nose filled with so much blood that she can only breath through her mouth Dumbbells dropped onto her stomach Vomited when tried to drink water (her stomach couldn’t accept it) Tried to escape and punished by cigarette burning on arms Flammable liquid poured on her feet and legs, then lit on fire Bottle inserted into her anus, causing injury DAY 20: December10, 1989: Unable to walk properly due to severe leg burns Beat with bamboo sticks Fireworks inserted into anus and lit Hands smashed by weights and fingernails cracked Beaten with golf club Cigarettes inserted into vagina Beaten with iron rods repeatedly Winter; forced outside to sleep in balcony Skewers of grilled chicken inserted into her vagina and anus, causing bleeding DAY 30: Hot wax dripped onto face Eyelids burned by cigarette lighter Stabbed with sewing needles in chest area Left nipple cut and destroyed with pliers Hot light bulb inserted into her vagina Heavy bleeding from vagina due to scissors insertion Unable to urinate properly Injuries were so severe that it took over an hour for her to crawl downstairs and use the bathroom Eardrums severely damaged Extreme reduced brain size DAY 40: Begged her torturers to “kill her and get it over with” January 1, 1989: Junko greets the New Years Day alone Body mutilated Unable to move from the ground DAY 44: January 4, 1989: The four boys beat her mutilated body with an iron barbell, using a loss at the game of Mah-jongg as a pretext. She is profusely bleeding from her mouth and nose. They put a candle’s flame to her face and eyes. Then, lighter fluid was poured onto her legs, arms, face and stomach, and then lit on fire. This final torture lasted for a time of two hours. Junko Furuta died later that day, in pain and alone. Nothing could compare 44 days of suffering she had to go through. When her mother heard the news and details of what had happened to her daughter, she fainted. She had to undergo a psychiatric outpatient treatment . Imagine her endless pain. Her killers are now free men. Justice was never served, not even after 20 years. They deserve a punishment much greater than they had put upon Furuta, for putting an innocent girl through the most unbearable suffering. From wikipedia: For his participation in the crime, Kamisaku served eight years in a juvenile prison before he was released. Junko's (the victim) parents were dismayed by the sentences received by their daughter's killers, and enjoined a civil suit against the parents of the boy in whose home the crimes were committed. When some of the convictions were overturned on the basis of problematic physical evidence (the semen and pubic hair recovered from the body did not match those of the boys who were arrested), the lawyer handling the civil suit decided there was no case to be made and refused to represent them further. In July 1990 a lower court sentenced the leader to seventeen years in prison. The court sentenced one accomplice to a four- to six-year term, one accomplice to a three- to four-year term, and another accomplice to an indefinite five- to ten-year term. The leader and the first two of the three appealed their rulings. The higher court gave more severe sentences to the three appealing parties. The presiding judge, Ryūji Yanase, said that the court did so because of the nature of the crime, the effect on the victim's family, and the effects of the crime on society. The leader received a twenty-year sentence, the second highest possible sentence after life imprisonment. Of the two appealing accomplices, the one that originally got four to six years, received a five- to nine-year term. The other accomplice had his sentence upgraded to a five- to seven-year term. Why weren't all of them given a life sentence? |

| Because of the Japanese legal system for juveniles. |
| What is most unusual is that I was just reading about this like...half an hour ago! |
| Don't post stuff like this here, makes me sick to even think about it... Who the fuck does that to anyone, and to a girl? That's so fucking sick, those people should be executed without hesitation, those fucking sick freaks. I'm gonna go find those fuckers and treat them the same way. |
 |
| Heard about this a while ago. It's horrible to think that there are people out there that are willing to do such disgusting things to an innocent girl. |
;~; |
| A life sentence? Scum like that should get a death sentence. A painless death or not, I don't really care, they should just be erased from this world. |
| I see dead people. |
| where is kira when we need him |

Rasmu said: where is kira when we need him Agreed... Horrible... I think death sentence should be applied in all countries to avoid things like these. |
     |
| Read this a lifetime ago when I was still on Crunchyroll. Exceptionally disgusting. I can't believe I'm the same species as these people. Words can't describe. That's all. |
Psyxwar said: Because of the Japanese legal system for juveniles. Really the Juvenile system in most 1st world countries seem to be absurd. There was a similar story to this, about two people I believe they were preteens or young teens, who took a toddler from a mall, and then like dragged him across town and beat him and sexually assaulted him for hours then killed him. Needless to say, they got a minimal time in a Juvinelle centre, and were released with clean records and new names. Clap clap clap for the juvie justice systems. Remember, if you are under 18 (or your own countries adult age), you are mentally retarded and cannot be held responsible for the choices you make! Hooray! |
| This story is over 20 years old. The Juvenile system in Japan hasn't changed either after all these years. |

EinLawliet said: Rasmu said: where is kira when we need him Agreed... Horrible... I think death sentence should be applied in all countries to avoid things like these. Uh, no. Leaving aside that Japan, supposedly, applies the death penalty (according to Wikipedia), don't try to change the rules of a whole country over a single case. Once in a while a cannibal torturer might appear in the society but that does not justify for changing the laws in order to fit that particular case. Don't fall into that, please. Here in Spain we have had the problem of people demanding life imprisonment and even death penalty over a specially charismatic case (murder of a teen girl). Of course there are many problems in justice that need to be fixed (among them, the ridiculous punishment for people who are legally underage), but trying to give justice based on feelings and not on a solid system is a mess. Not to mention that I dislike the single idea that the state is able to make a decision regarding the life of an individual, and the many problems resulting on the application of an irreversible punishment. Maybe if one close friend or family member was murdered I would enter through a state of rage and would demand the death of the causers, who knows? But it would be silly that the judicial system changed its laws for every process just to fit my hate feelings. And I would probably regret years later. |

Scum like that should get a death sentence. A painless death or not, I don't really care, they should just be erased from this world. True, and I agree completely. Alway have. But there's always the executioner dilemma. If he killed, shouldn't he die too? I say: Some of the killers get a life sentence in which they're forced to be the executioner of other killers. I. AM. JUSTICE! As for the thread itself, I really have nothing to say. I don't mind reading/watching shit like this, but when it actually happens, I feel bad. |

While I understand the position of people who think like you, I can not agree with it, in my opinion, once you have taken even a single life in cold blood, or with malice, you have forfeited your right to life, completely, utterly, and instantly, and should be put to death. While some people may say 'But the Death Penalty doesn't truly serve as a deterrent' and this may be true, Capital Punishment was never brought about to be a deterrent, it was brought about to be punishment, the ultimate punishment for the ultimate crime. |

Mouhappai said: Why weren't all of them given a life sentence? The fact that they didn't give them life sentences or the death penalty (both of which are legal in Japan) leads me to question whether we are being presented the full story here. Such graphic description of the injuries inflicted on her, and listed with specific dates seems a bit optimistic. Given the severity of the injuries too, I don't understand how she could have survived that long either... I'd like to see the source for that list of atrocities performed on her. I did have a look at a few pages of a court document but legal documents have enough gobledygook in them without the need for google translate. I didn't see anything describing what happened to her but the 'brutality' of it all was explained rather well. Furthermore this crime did happen almost 25 years ago; they may be out of jail now but it's not like they merely got a slap on the wrist. I am sure the court had their reasons for not giving them harsher punishments too; I can't imagine they would have given them much sympathy simply because they were juveniles. |

You would be surprised how easy it is in the modern world to obscure justice. America is a good example, you can murder someone and be out in 10 years, but uh-oh! Do something piracy related and suddenly then we'll talk about actual sentences. Get a good lawyer to throw some doubt in there and you can even get off scott-free from the very start. Justice is fairly simple in cases like this, an eye for an eye. They put her through all that? Then they should endure the same hell she did with the same ending. That is the only way to resolve the unfair trade they gave that girl, by accepting her same fate. Don't tell me anyone here actually believes 8 years in a jail cell is a punishment for most people like this, or even a life sentence. They probably knew where they were headed after this was all over, and didn't care. People make the mistake that they place the same value on their daily life and emotions as we do, when that is hardly the case and the way they murdered her is more than proof of that. With that in mind it is a slap on the wrist, you can't possibly suggest that what she went through and what was given are equivalent terms. |

| I read: "The leader received a twenty-year sentence, the second highest possible sentence after life imprisonment", and think, what condones the highest? |
 |
| The fact that we fucking need lawyers to represent people and 'interpret' the law is fucking ridiculous in the first place. When did laws become what it is? I don't know, and it just makes me mad. I'm not trying to sound nihilistic, but the word is just this unjust and I don't understand how or why it even works. If there was such thing as a God, who gave him permission to create us? I know never asked for this. Seriously, take responsibility for what you've made. Might as well just live my life instead of reading a book like Frankenstein which talks exactly about this. |

| I'm surprised she even lasted that long, with all that they were doing to her. It's terrifying that there's people walking the earth who could do this to someone, even more so to someone innocent. They deserved a death penalty for putting someone through so much torture. If anyone could do this once, they could easily do it again. Keep others safe and kill those bastards. |

| I do not understand completely so perhaps someone more familiar with this story can clarify it for me. She died, so how did the day by day torturing become public? Wikipedia was not helpful in this regard and majority of the other places I read about it did not cite references. I'm imagining it came from one or more of the people involved, but I'm having a hard time taking this list at face value. I would assume that either one or multiple one's made a deal of some sort to give up information, cause outside of that I don't see where the information would have come from. Which makes me wonder how accurate it is and if that somehow leads into why they got the jail sentences they did. At any rate, either way, sometimes the justice system fails. I'm not going to go on a tangent about how I think these men should be killed, but IF this list is accurate, then to me justice was not served and it leaves a sour taste in my mouth thinking of people who would be willing to commit such acts are walking the streets. |

| Darn those boys! They should be tortured as well and suffer the same fate as Junko Furuta. Why don't people look at the main point and give them punishment. Give them the punishment that they deserve!!! |

| Not to be a troll or anything but,how did they obtain all the gruesome details? From the killers? Or autopsy? I've read this article a long time ago and I just couldn't get myself to believe it. |
