Tokyo – A person convicted of murder for killing nine people in his apartment near Tokyo was killed on Friday, the Japanese Ministry said.

Takiro Shirishi, known as “Twitter killer”, was sentenced to death in 2020 in 2020 for killings of nine victims, most of whom posted suicide views on social media. She was also convicted of sexually abusing women victims.

Last year, since the acquittal of Evao Hakmada, the prisoner of the world’s longest death-prisoner Evao Hakmada, the call was done after the call to end the capital sentence in Japan.

Shirishi was hanged in the Tokyo Detention House in high privacy, until the execution was performed.

Police arrested her in 2017 after finding the bodies of eight women and a man in cold-storage cases in their apartment.

Investigators stated that Shirishi approached the victims via Twitter, offering to help them with their suicide desires. He killed eight women, including teenagers, after raping her, and also a lover of one of the women for death.

Japan’s suicide rate is rank in the world’s highest. After a recent decline, the number has come back this year as people collided with the effects of Kovid -19 epidemic.

Japan’s crime rate is relatively low, but it has seen some high-profile mass killing in recent years.
