After five years, the case finally came to a second instance. On the 19th local time, the Tokyo High Court issued a sentence in the second instance and sentenced him to life. imprisonment.

This is the murder case of Chinese student sisters who happened in Japan a few years ago. The two sisters who were killed were both from Fujian.

The younger sister He went to Japan in 2012 and studied in a school that made game software. It is reported that my sister met a man named Ryuya Iwaqi when she was working in a restaurant, and the two had disputes over relationship issues.

In July 2017, Yan Qilong also broke into the apartment of two sisters and killed them. Then he used a suitcase to place the bodies in a mountain forest and discard them. According to Japanese media reports, Iwaki Ryu also remained silent for a while after his arrest, refusing to explain the facts of the crime. He also claimed that his sister pretended to be missing in order to continue to stay in Japan because her visa expired, and that she only helped him transport the suitcase to the designated location. .

In July 2018, Yanqinglong was also charged by the prosecutor with homicide and corpse abandonment. During the public trial at the Yokohama District Court, the prosecutor requested that Ryuya Iwaki be sentenced to death on the grounds that it was a planned and extremely brutal act. After the trial, the court sentenced Ryuya Iwaki to 23 years in prison. The father of the victim sister expressed strong dissatisfaction. The prosecutor requested the death penalty, while the defendant advocated innocence, so both parties appealed.

Concerning this matter, many netizens also pointed out that this sentence is too light. Shouldn't this be the death penalty? Has Japan abolished the death penalty? Actually no, Japan still retains the death penalty, but the number of executions in Japan is very small. According to statistics, from 2000 to July 2018, only 83 prisoners were executed in Japan, so there were only four or five every year.

Furthermore, looking at these data, you will find that there is actually a judicial precedent in Japan. Cases with more than three victims are often sentenced to death. If there is only one victim, it is basically not the case, unless this person is , had already been imprisoned for murder before. You're like a kidnapping and murder case in Japan in 2007. There was only one victim. The victim's mother knew that it would be difficult to sentence the murderer to death, so she launched a campaign to request signatures for the death penalty. In the end, 300,000 Japanese people participated, and she was sentenced to death. Sentenced to death. Therefore, it is expected that the Japanese man was sentenced to life for killing the Chinese sisters.
