Well, it sounds like a well deserving person to be executed.

Shocked me too!

You thought those Japs are peace-loving, tech-crazed and law-abiding. 'Cause these kinds of crimes are extremely rare in Japan you wouldn't think they have capital punishment.

I found out they still doing it by hanging but inside a death chamber and not in public.

Many countries have the death penalty, if nowhere else then in the military law as penalty to traitors etc.

That guy who committed this horrible crime deserves a big punishment, indeed, but I havn't heard Japanese count sentencing people to death before, so I just got a bit surprised to hear that

Prosecutors only push for the death penalty in the case of multiple murders, or single murder with aggravating circumstances. Judges usually impose death penalty in case of multiple homicides. Between 1946 and 2003, Japanese courts sentenced 766 people to death, 608 of whom were executed. For 40 months from 1989 to 1993 the successive ministers of justice refused to authorise executions, which amounted to informal moratorium.

It does exist, but it's just quite rare, since it requires multiple murderer to get such a death penalty, and based on the harmony in Japanese society, this rarely happens
