A sentence has been passed on the eroge otaku who murdered his female neighbor after he failed to make her his personal sex slave, and then proceeded to grotesquely dismember her corpse in an attempt to dispose of the remains via his toilet.
The judge presiding over the case deemed the death penalty too severe, considering the homicide and desecration of the victim’s corpse as not being premeditated, much to the dismay of the victim’s family.
The culprit himself told the court that he considered his own death the only true means of apologizing to his victim.
Via Mainichi.
The results of this case, as well as the murderer’s self-published doujinshi, are not going to help the already repugant image such otaku are cursed with in Japanese society, although this is not of course an entirely unjustified reputation.
Toilets…The fastest transport from tomorrow!
“The culprit himself told the court that he considered his own death the only true means of apologizing to his victim.”
Well… he could always commit seppuku.
Good to see a few others doing what I popped in here to do – acknowledge that capital punishment is inappropriate, as it always should be.
Love you guys,

what a dickfuck
Life in prison is worse than death but there is so many problems with life sentence:
– it costs a lot of money to the State
– the prisoner has nothing to lose and someone in despair is always extremely dangerous
If you are going to put someone for the rest of his life in jail, you should as well put a gun on his head and shoot. Would save money and time to everybody for the same result.
