NEWS: "Otaku" Murderer Tsutomu Miyazaki Executed on Tuesday

Finally! 20 years after he was convicted,Tsutomu Miyazaki will pay for being a ruthless,remorseless,and cold hearted pedophile and the families of the vitcims will finally see him do the forgiveness bow(In Japan death row inmates are ordered to bow to the families of vitcims in respect before thier excution is carried out.)By the time I'm typing this, The sentence has proably already be carried out. But we can basically say, that Miyazaki will mostly be remembered for introducing Japan to the term "pedophile" and for terrorising the "Saitama"Prefecture where sex offenders was unheard of. A lot was sensationized about Miyazaki, some rumors speculated that he was driven by hentai and horror movies(this was later proven to be false) is investigators discovered that he was an avid collector of child pornography and often took photos of young girls and had a record for molesting little girls and taking photos of thier privates and sometimes taping his acts. Although most of the crimes were reported to police, they did not have a public warning system and Miyazaki went undetected.

He soon got a job at a local resterant and used this as a ruse to target his young vitcims. Often hanging around playgrounds, he befriended little girls,lured them to his apartment and commited the act, but went as far as to kill four of his vitcims(I remember reading eight) he even played cat-and-mouse with thier parents,taunting them with phone calls, and threating letters describing what he did to thier daughters.

In July 1989, while he was trying to sneak up to another vitcim he was targeting to get a picture under her panties, the young girl's father saw Miyazaki and chased him down the park before tackling him down and attacked him, but Miyazaki was able to escape but was soon aprhended by police.

The police retrieved a search warrant and discovered a library of video tapes and photos depicting sexualy explict photos and films of young girls(much like British glam rocker Gary Glitter) they soon discovered the remains of two of his vitcims one in his freezer and the other in his closet.

During his trial in early 1990, Miyazaki remained apathetic and remorseless about his crimes. He argued not guilty by insanity but the Tokyo court jury held him accountable to his acts and setenced him to death. Though he was diagnosed with schizophrenia, he could not escape the death penalty. In 1997, seven years after his conviction, a judge denied an appeal to his excution and set his date for later that year but the Tokyo High Court" upheld his excution and granted him stay, in 2001 the Surpreme Court also upheld his appeal.

But it's now rumored that the recent Akihara massacre last week is what triggered the excution to finally be carried out the soucre is from wikipedia, but since only 50% of what is posted on wikipedia is true I highly doubt it.

One thing is for sure, Japan is now going to be a little more strict on who is allowed to purchase lolicon hentai and shotakon. I predict restrictions for access of it from convicted sex offenders, but that it will still be accessable to everyone else.

Sure, now that Miyazaki is gone, the families will (well, we assume that they will) have a bit more peace, but there's always going to be the feelings of guilt for the parents and the relatives. "Why didn't I accompany her?" "If I would've called to make sure-" "If she hadn't have gone-"
I'm sure it's already been a long road to heal for the families, but it's still going on, and it always will, probably. I can't even imagine trying to go on with life after something like this happens.

imho, he deserved the death penalty after what he put the parents through. The article on Miyazaki provided earlier was very heartwrenching indeed. Especially when Mari Konno's father asked for her hands and feet back so that she could walk in heaven.

It's sad that his father committed suicide as well. I hope his mother is somewhere, doing as well as she can now Sad

Things like this make me feel....odd.
While everyone is jumping for joy in a ding dong the witch is dead type way, I still feel regardless of how horrible a person or as some say- monster this guy was, he still was killed.

I've never been in the camp of kill the guy who killed others. I feel that dealing with life of being locked away, without freedom is a a punishment in its own. Sure, some might argue he might burn in hell faster now, if you believe in such a thing.

I make no claim to know how Japanese prisons operate, but are they as violent as American prisons?

If this is what the parents needed for closure, well good for them. It seems like this closure came a tad late.

Make no mistake, capital punishment is wrong. No matter how monstrous the crime, nothing justifies the deliberate taking of a human life in cold blood.

Frankly, I am somewhat sickened by the cheering and amen-saying in this thread. To call him a monster and a murderer, and to expect that he never be let out of jail again, is perfectly reasonable -- but to exult in a man's death? To say "amen"?

Wonders whether the execution was expedited as a result of the Akihabara tragedy recently...

So, it finally happened. Sure took a while.

In regards to my last comment, while I do not support the death penalty, he got his punishment, and it was carried out.

If he had gotten life, that would have been fine with me.

Good riddance.
This is the guy who gave otaku and lolicon undeserved bad reputation. He deserves to burn in hell.

Although I am not sure how good is capital punishment a punishment (since I am uncertain of the existence of after-life). Maybe death just made things easier for him....

Perhaps it is better for him to suffer life imprisonment and rot away.

Good riddance he's gone. We don't need anyone to make the word 'Otaku' a bad name.

I agree with some of you in the fact that 'Otaku' isnt all bad, although the stereotype that we are introverted, anti-social and take things too far is somewhat true. I myself am a self confessed anime otaku as I have tons of anime, but I would not go as far as acting out anything I've seen in any of them. (Perhaps a fight scene between Sephiroth and Genesis, or a fight between any of the Naruto characters Laughing

). I am super introverted but I do have friends and not anti-social (just anti-government Razz

).

I also believe in you reap what you sow (as I am Christian but open to other beliefs). He shall burn in Hell for eternity with Lucifer or any of his demons raping and killing him over and over again.

Here in New Zealand, we have gotten rid of the Death Penalty but just recently we have had 3 murders in 9 days, all of them race related. Its just sad. We also had a guy who was convicted as a murderer released on parole kill a guy in the hills behind a town called Lower Hutt. The father of the guy questioned why a murderer was given parole in the first place.

Despite of this New Zealand is a good place, just don't go and live in Auckland (the place of the 3 murders in 9 days).

May God be with you and my prayers are with the families to help them heal (no matter how long it may take).
