Junko Furuta ( 古田 順子 , Furuta Junko ) was a Japanese high school student who was abducted, raped, tortured and murdered in the belatedly 1980s. Her murder instance was chosen the "concrete-encased high school daughter murder case" ( 女子高生コンクリート詰め殺人事件 ), due to her body existence discovered in a concrete pulsate. The abuse was mainly perpetrated past four teenage boys, Hiroshi Miyano, Jō Ogura, Shinji Minato, and Yasushi Watanabe, over a menstruation of xl days from November 1988 to January 1989.

The crime was believed to be the "worst case of juvenile delinquency" in post-war Nihon.[6]

Background

Furuta was built-in in Misato, Saitama Prefecture. She lived with her parents, her older blood brother, and her younger blood brother.[7] Every bit a teenager, she attended Yashio-Minami High School and worked part-time at a plastic molding manufacturing plant during after-school hours since October 1988. She did this to save up money for a graduation trip she had planned.[8] Furuta as well accepted a job at an electronics retailer, where she planned on working subsequently graduation.[half dozen] At high school, Furuta was well-liked by her classmates, with high grades and very infrequent absences. She was a pop girl with pretty features and had dreams of becoming an idol singer.[ix] The night she was abducted, Furuta had been looking forward to going home to watch the final episode of the Television receiver show, Tonbo (Dragonfly とんぼ).[10]

The perpetrators were four teenage boys: Hiroshi Miyano ( 宮野裕史 , Miyano Hiroshi , eighteen years former), Jō Ogura ( 小倉譲 , Ogura Jō , 17), Shinji Minato ( 湊伸治 , Minato Shinji , 16), and Yasushi Watanabe ( 渡邊恭史 , Watanabe Yasushi , 17), who were respectively referred to as "A", "B", "C", and "D" in court documents. At the time of the crime, they used the 2d floor of Minato's business firm equally a hangout, and had, as chimpira, previously engaged in crimes including purse snatching, extortion, and rape.[11] [12]

Miyano, the leader of the crime, had a history of problematic beliefs since elementary school, such as shoplifting and damaging schoolhouse holding. In April 1986, he enrolled in a individual loftier school in Tokyo, though he dropped out the following yr. Later on this, he connected to commit several crimes that escalated over time.[13] At the time of the crime, he had been living with his girlfriend, the older sister of Male child D, Yasushi Watanabe, and was working equally a tile worker to save up money to marry her.[14] Unsatisfied with the job's low pay, Miyano became involved with a gangster and oftentimes committed sex crimes. This made his girlfriend lose involvement in him, and the relationship broke upwardly.[15]

Offense

On 25 Nov 1988, Miyano and Minato wandered around Misato with the intention of robbing and raping local women.[11] At eight:30 p.1000., they spotted Furuta riding her bike dwelling house after she had finished a shift at her job. Under Miyano'southward orders, Minato kicked Furuta off her bike and fled the scene.[11] Miyano, under the pretense of witnessing the assault by coincidence, approached Furuta and offered to walk her home safely.[11] Furuta, accepting this offer, was unaware that Miyano was leading her to a nearby warehouse, where he lied about having yakuza connections.[16] He raped her in the warehouse and once more in a nearby hotel, threatening to impale her. From the hotel, Miyano called Minato and his other friends, Jō Ogura and Yasushi Watanabe, and bragged to them most the rape. Ogura reportedly asked Miyano to go along her in captivity in order to allow numerous people to sexually assault her. The group had a history of gang rape and had recently kidnapped and raped some other daughter, whom they released afterward.[11]

Around three:00 a.m., Miyano took Furuta to a nearby park, where Minato, Ogura, and Watanabe were waiting.[11] They had learned her domicile address from a notebook in her backpack and told her that they knew where she lived, and that yakuza members would kill her family if she attempted to escape. The four boys overpowered her, took her to a business firm in the Ayase district of Adachi, and gang-raped her.[11] The house, which was owned by Minato's parents, soon became their regular gang hangout.[17]

On 27 November, Furuta's parents contacted the police about her disappearance. To discourage further investigation, the kidnappers forced her to call her mother 3 times to convince her that she had run away, but was safe and staying with some friends. They as well forced Furuta to stop the police investigation. When Minato's parents were present, Furuta was forced to act as his girlfriend.[xviii] They dropped this pretense when it became clear that Minato's parents would not written report them to the constabulary.[17] The Minatos stated that they did not intervene because they were afraid of Miyano, and considering their own son was increasingly violent toward them.[17]

On the night of 28 November, Miyano invited two other boys, Tetsuo Nakumara and Koichi Ihara, E and F, respectively, over to the Minato's house. They went to the upstairs room, where Junko was sitting, wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt and a skirt that Miyano had stolen from a clothing store a few days prior. They drank cough medicine, pretending it was drugs, and acted high. Furuta tried to run away, screaming in fear. Miyano grabbed her legs and Ihara put a pillow over her face. The parents were awakened and went to check on the scream to which Minato told them that it was nothing. The group then proceeded to gang-rape Furuta. During this time, she was in a land of unconsciousness, staring at the ceiling without blinking.[19]

The group held Furuta captive in the Minato residence for 40 days, where they repeatedly beat out, raped, and tortured her.[11] According to their statements, the iv shaved her pubic pilus, forced her to trip the light fantastic to music while naked and masturbate in front of them, and left her on the balustrade in the center of the dark with little clothing. They inserted objects into her vagina and anus, including a lit match, a metal rod, and a bottle, and force-fed her with big amounts of booze, milk and h2o. She was also forced to smoke multiple cigarettes at once and inhale paint thinner. In 1 incident, Miyano repeatedly burned Furuta's legs and artillery with lighter fluid. Past the cease of December, Furuta was severely malnourished subsequently being fed only small amounts of food and somewhen just milk.[11] Due to her severe injuries and infected burns, she became unable to go to the downstairs toilet, and became confined to the floor of Minato's room in a state of extreme weakness.[11]

Furuta'due south appearance was drastically altered from the brutality of the attacks. Her face was then swollen that it was difficult to brand out her features. Her body was as well severely crippled, giving off a rotting smell that acquired the four boys to lose sexual interest in her. As a result, the boys kidnapped and gang-raped a 19-year-sometime woman who, like Furuta, was on her fashion abode from work.[ commendation needed ]

On 4 January 1989, after losing a game of mahjong against another person the night before, Miyano decided to vent his acrimony towards Furuta.[20] In their anger, they poured lighter fluid onto her thighs, arms, face up, and stomach and fix her on fire again.[11] Furuta allegedly made attempts to put out the fire, simply gradually became unresponsive.[11] They continued to punch her, ignited a candle and dripped hot wax on her confront, placed two brusk candles on her eyelids, and forced her to drink her own urine. After she was kicked, she fell onto a stereo unit and collapsed into a fit of convulsions.[xi] Since she was bleeding profusely, and pus was emerging from her infected burns, the iv boys covered their easily in plastic bags.[11] They continued to beat her and dropped an iron exercise ball onto her stomach several times. The attack reportedly lasted two hours. Furuta eventually succumbed to her wounds and died.[11]

Less than 24 hours after her expiry, Minato's brother chosen to tell him that Furuta appeared to be dead. Agape of being penalized for murder, the grouping wrapped her body in blankets and shoved her into a travel bag. They and then put her body in a 55-United states-gallon (210-litre) drum and filled it with wet concrete. Around 8:00 p.m., they loaded it and eventually tending the drum into a cement truck in Kōtō, Tokyo.[21] During her captivity, Furuta had mentioned several times that she regretted non being able to watch the finale episode of Tonbo (Dragonfly とんぼ). Miyano establish the videotape of the episode and placed it in the travel bag also. As he later explained, it was not because he pitied Furuta, but because he did non want her to return as a ghost and haunt him.[22]

On 23 January 1989, Miyano and Ogura were arrested for the gang-rape of the 19-twelvemonth-old girl whom they had kidnapped in December. On 29 March, two police officers came to interrogate them, as women's underwear had been constitute at their addresses. During the interrogation, Miyano believed that one of the officers was aware of his culpability in Furuta's murder. Thinking that Jō Ogura had confessed to the crimes against Furuta, Miyano told the constabulary where to find Furuta's torso. The police were initially puzzled past the confession, as they had been referring to the murder of a unlike adult female and her seven-year-erstwhile son that had occurred nine days prior to Furuta'southward abduction, a case which remains unsolved.

The police found the drum containing Furuta'due south body the following day. She was identified via fingerprints. On one April 1989, Jō Ogura was arrested for a divide sexual assail, and subsequently re-arrested for Furuta's murder. The arrest of Watanabe, Minato, and Minato's brother followed. Several other accomplices who participated in Furuta's corruption were officially identified, including Tetsuo Nakamura and Koichi Ihara, who were charged with rape subsequently their DNA was found on and inside the victim's torso.[11]

Prosecution

The identities of the boys were sealed by the court as they were all juveniles at the fourth dimension of the crime. Journalists from the Shūkan Bunshun (週刊文春) magazine discovered their identities, however, and published them.[eighteen] They stated that, given the severity of the crime, the accused did not deserve to have their right to anonymity upheld. All four boys pled guilty to "committing actual injury that resulted in death," rather than murder.

In July 1990, a lower court sentenced Hiroshi Miyano, the alleged leader of the law-breaking, to 17 years in prison.[11] [21] He appealed his judgement, only Tokyo High Court judge Ryūji Yanase sentenced him to an additional three years in prison. The 20-year sentence is the 2d-longest sentence given in Japan earlier life imprisonment.[11] [21] He was 18 at the fourth dimension of the murder. Miyano's mother reportedly paid ¥50 1000000 (US$425,000) in compensation, ordered by the ceremonious court, later on selling their family unit home.[23]

Miyano was denied parole in 2004. He was released from prison in 2009. In Jan 2013, Miyano was re-arrested for fraud. Due to insufficient evidence, he was released without charge later that calendar month.[ commendation needed ] Nobuharu Minato (Now Shinji Minato), who originally received a 4-to-6-year sentence, was re-sentenced to five to nine years by Judge Ryūji Yanase upon appeal.[11] [21] He was 16 at the fourth dimension of the murder. Minato'due south parents and blood brother were non charged. Furuta's parents were dismayed by the sentences received by their girl's killers and won a civil suit against the parents of Nobuharu Minato, in whose home the crimes were committed.[24] After his release, Minato moved in with his mother. Even so, in 2018, Minato was arrested again for attempted murder after beating a 32-year-old human with a metal rod and slashing his throat with a knife.[25] [26]

Yasushi Watanabe, who was originally sentenced to iii to four years in prison, received an upgraded sentence of 5 to vii years.[11] [21] He was 17 at the fourth dimension of the murder. For his office in the crime, Jō Ogura served eight years in a juvenile prison before he was released in 2004. He was 17 at the time of the murder. After his release, he took the family unit name "Kamisaku" when he was adopted by a supporter of his. He is said to have boasted about his part in the kidnapping, rape and torture of Furuta.[17] In July 2004, he was arrested for assaulting Takatoshi Isono, an acquaintance he idea his girlfriend may have been involved with. Ogura tracked Isono down, beat him, and shoved him into his truck.

Jō drove Isono from Adachi to his mother'due south bar in Misato, where he allegedly beat Isono for 4 hours. During that time, Ogura repeatedly threatened to kill the man, telling him that he had killed before and knew how to get away with it. He was sentenced to 7 years in prison house for assaulting Isono and has since been released. Ogura'southward mother allegedly vandalized Furuta'southward grave, stating that she had ruined her son's life.[27] It has also been reported that Ogura had depleted his father'southward savings, money which was intended to be provided every bit restitution to Furuta's family, buying and consuming a number of luxury goods.

Many believed that the sentences were too calorie-free for the severity of the crimes committed.[28]

Aftermath

Junko Furuta'due south funeral was held on 2 April 1989. I of her friends' memorial address stated:

Jun-chan, welcome back. I have never imagined that nosotros would run into you once more in this way. You must have been in so much pain...so much suffering... The happi we all made for the schoolhouse festival looked really good on you lot. We will never forget you. I have heard that the principal has presented you with a graduation certificate. So we graduated together—all of us. Jun-chan, at that place is no more than pain, no more than suffering. Delight rest in peace...

Furuta's intended future employer presented her parents with the compatible she would have worn in the position she had accepted. The compatible was placed in her casket. At her graduation, Furuta's schoolhouse principal presented her a high school diploma, which was given to her parents. The location near where Furuta's body was discovered has been developed since and is now Wakasu park.[29]

At the time Japanese people were concerned most a United states-influenced epidemic of fierce law-breaking, what they called the "American disease".[30]

At least three books have been written virtually the offense.[31] An exploitation moving picture, Joshikōsei konkurīto-zume satsujin-jiken [ja] ( 女子高生コンクリート詰め殺人事件 ), about the incident was directed past Katsuya Matsumura in 1995. Yujin Kitagawa (afterwards a fellow member of the music duo Yuzu) played the office of the principal culprit, and Mai Sasaki played the function of Furuta.[32] [33] [34] The instance was also the inspiration for the moving picture Concrete in 2004,[ citation needed ] and the manga 17-sai.
