| Apparently, the guy actually recorded his crimes, and some industry insiders told me they had to hunt down copies of the tapes to delete and/or destroy them. I'm surprised the families allowed the names of the victims to be released, though. |

| It doesn't state what method was used to terminate his life, but I hope it was as painful as those children had to feel. But probably it was death by a lethal injection, or summat. |

Nope, hanging. Hanging is still the capital punishment method in japan.
I remember two years ago I had to study this guy on a massive assingment I did on otaku. Reading all the case-studies about his killings...it nearly gave me nightmares. I came close to crying when reading about the grief the parent's felt. When I was researching him I thought he was already dead, and then learnt he wasnt. It's kind of...strange, to have him finaly gone after all this time. |

| Good riddance. One less monster on the planet. I can understand now why some people hate the word "otaku". If THIS is what they though it meant......then I agree. Good thing Japan has the death sentence. My country does not have it (Romania) but it should |

From the 2007 revision of the Japanese Penal Code:
| Quote: | Article 11. (Death Penalty)
(1) The Death penalty shall be executed by hanging at a penal institution. |
For a more complete version of Tsutomu Miyazaki's crimes, see "The Silencing of the Lambs" by Charles T. Whipple. |

So, now we can start changing people's minds about otaku being coldhearted murderers?

Yep, me too, I read a lot of stuff about this case for my master's thesis, and I found it strange that he wasn't dead already, 20 years after the case, since Japan still uses death sentence. I guess it's all finished now, but I can't say I'm happy about that, there's nothing good coming from killing a murderer, both him and the justice system are wrong. Well, that's not really the matter here, let's hope that the "otaku" word will be a bit less pejorative in the future (and it already has since Densha Otoko  ). |

Wait, what? You think the people that aren't sad about his death think that otaku = murderer somehow? |
