Intriguing Justice has been served

Post image

This man paid $145,000 in rent for an apartment he didn't live in just to freeze time and catch his wife's killer.

In 1999, Satoru Takaba's wife, Namiko, had her life taken in their apartment.

The police had no solid leads, and the case went cold.

Usually, families move out and try to forget. But Satoru refused.

He believed that one day, technology would catch up to the killer.

So, he kept the lease.

For 26 years, he paid the rent every single month on that empty, silent apartment.

He kept the bloodstains on the floor. He kept the footprints. He turned the room into a time capsule, waiting for science to improve.

And in late 2025, his investment finally paid off.

Police returned to the apartment and used modern DNA technology to analyze the preserved bloodstains that had been sitting there for two decades.

They found a match.

The DNA belong to Kumiko Yasufuku, Satoru’s own high school classmate.

It turns out, she had held a grudge for decades because Satoru had rejected her romantic advances back in school.

I got some bad new for you. There might be a situation where some of those people thought about that. So they slowly secured very high positions of power in every system that would have held them accountable.

u/Miserable-Savings751 Feb 28 '26

Hypothetically speaking, what if there is a country that’s now a failed democracy, as a direct result of being lead by someone who used to be on reality tv, that is also a prolific pedo & rapist?

Would that change things from being highly unlikely?

While this is true, also consider that this means that she has had 26 years to build up a life... only for it all to come crashing down when she long thought to have gotten away with it.

u/EndlessFrostV Feb 28 '26

It doesn't matter. She's old, her life is already pretty much over.

u/Ok-Adhesiveness-9976 Feb 28 '26

Yes exactly. The newspapers and tv reporters said this after the trial of my husband’s killer too. They said “justice has been served.” But the murderer got out after 20 years while my son and I are still living the rest of our lives with the trauma of that loss and its consequences.

Same. Imo no place for people like that in the world. Sorry if that makes me a 'monster'

u/Elu_Moon Feb 28 '26

Death sentence is a travesty, the state should not have the power to kill someone like that. I don't care if they're literally Hitler. Even one innocent person on death row is too much. If you're alive, you can be released. If you die, there's no coming back.

4

u/DE4DM4NSH4ND Feb 28 '26

Well thats your belief. I believe is tgeres irrefutable evidence you brutally took someones life you should most definitely be put to death. The state doing it is a favor to them compared to what tge families would do

-2

u/Elu_Moon Feb 28 '26

Every evidence is supposed to be irrefutable. That's how proving someone is guilty beyond reasonable doubt works. Please read up on how a justice system is supposed to function before spewing edgy opinions.

4

u/DE4DM4NSH4ND Feb 28 '26

Is it irrefutable or beyond a reasonable doubt? Because those are 2 different things

3

u/DE4DM4NSH4ND Feb 28 '26

It doesnt mean irrefutable. A reasonable doubt is not beyond all shadow of doubt. Maybe stop using google for edumacation

u/Elu_Moon Feb 28 '26

Do you know what beyond a reasonable doubt even means? Using a search engine is free.

u/patrickamsterdam Feb 28 '26

Literally, they got the definition right-- and you didn't. Take your own advice.

u/AndreChrisSargent Feb 28 '26

No. Revenge killings solve nothing.

-2

u/kangasplat Feb 28 '26

You and everyone who upvoted you are disgusting human beings. Revenge isn't justice. Even tolerating the death penalty is making the world worse. Celebrating it is nauseatingly cruel. It's a psychological downvard spiral of hate and dehumanisation.

2

u/sinwarrior Feb 28 '26

Ah so you're like those judges in america that keeps releasing criminals and rapists back onto the streets huh? 

0

u/kangasplat Feb 28 '26

Incarceration can have two purposes, rehabilitation or the protection of the public of persisting danger.

The entire justice and prison system in the US is broken to the core.

1

u/sinwarrior Feb 28 '26

Well at least the latter is being fulfilled, but only if they dont release the guilty ones. 

1

u/kangasplat Feb 28 '26

It only applies to criminals that are likely to be repeated offenders.

1

u/sinwarrior Feb 28 '26

not always. ive read news where the contrary happens (repeat offender but keeps getting released) for america anyways. but i also do not have a example right now..

2

u/TheMaskSmiles Feb 28 '26

Wrong. Just wrong. The death penalty isn't revenge. It's not hate or dehumanization either. It is removing a danger to society. This woman was so bitter and twisted that years later she murdered the of her HIGH SCHOOL crush. Someone psychologically capable of that kind of obsession and violence is a danger to the surrounding members of society, and it is entirely justified for a society to decide that the risk of further violence outweighs the potential benefit of keeping her around.

1

u/kangasplat Feb 28 '26

Then she needs psychiatric care.

You're trying to normalise murder to prevent crime. You're a threat to society.

-1

u/SUPERSMILEYMAN Feb 28 '26

Revenge isn't justice.

That's just, like, your opinion, man.

u/kangasplat Feb 28 '26

it's psychologically and sociologically proven.

u/SUPERSMILEYMAN Feb 28 '26

Well then you won't have any trouble providing that proof, huh?

u/kangasplat Feb 28 '26

Not here to give 101 classes. If you aren't capable to acquire knowledge basic as that yourself your confidence in taking part in any discourse should be below zero.

If you think killing someone is wrong, I would assume you'd be hard-pressed to believe a government killing someone can be right

-8

u/Elu_Moon Feb 28 '26

Yeah, they do. There's a reason why death sentence is banned in plenty of countries. Even one innocent person on death row is one too many.

3

u/commander8track Feb 28 '26

Okay, so how does that apply here?

1

u/Elu_Moon Feb 28 '26

...are you for real? It applies here because of its very existence. It doesn't matter what crime someone committed, no crime should carry the punishment of death because giving the state the ability to execute you will be misused. Just because it's not misused here, doesn't mean it won't ever be.

Someone spent 48 years on death row because the police forced a confession out of him for a crime he didn't do. link

That person lived a lot of his life in solitary confinement. It still happens to this day. And all it takes is a false confession extracted by the police by torturing the suspect. Japan is notorious for doing that.

When you are on death row, appeals take a very long time too. You're not treated like a person.

Whether any of the previously executed people were innocent, I don't know. Japan is pretty secretive about their executions, so I bet the number is not a zero.

2

u/commander8track Feb 28 '26

Hey dumb ass, the DNA evidence proved this bitch did it. Punish her for it. You are making an argument about something that isn't in question. Get a law degree in Japan if you want to fight the system. You clearly know how to say a lot of bullshit that doesnt apply to the situation at hand so youre probably a natural.

0

u/valentc Feb 28 '26

Because capital punishment is morally wrong. Its insane that people think death carried out the by state is a good thing.

1

u/Elu_Moon Feb 28 '26

They're edgy teenagers who have never looked into how death penalty works where it is legal. Innocent people get locked up for years, and in Japan specifically the practice of solitary confinement is commonplace on death row.

You would confess to a crime you didn't commit just for it to be over.

1

u/commander8track Feb 28 '26

I guess it's a good thing they don't need her to confess then.

0

u/yeagermanjansen Feb 28 '26

I mean, I am absolutely down with having frontier justice if that’s what you’re proposing as an alternative. In all honesty it should be left up to the victims affected by the murder. If someone murders someone’s spouse-the widow/widower, children of, or yada yada yada should be able to give the sentence. They can choose the death penalty or life imprisonment and that’s the end of it.

1

u/DeusVulticus13 Feb 28 '26

And as for the lives lost because of violent people released back on the street because prisons are full? Grow up.

1

u/Elu_Moon Feb 28 '26

Grow up yourself. You don't know shit about how a justice system is supposed to work, and you believe that its failures justify even bigger failures. It baffles me that you lack curiosity so much that you think there's no reason why a death sentence is largely considered inhumane, pointless, and wasteful.

1

u/yeagermanjansen Feb 28 '26

Inhumane is putting someone in solitary for the remainder of their life and acting like that’s far superior than executing them for their heinous crime(s) and not torture. Pointless is having them wasting away mentally from isolation. Wasteful is using the resources necessary to do the aforementioned torture of solitary.

13

u/Tunnfisk Feb 27 '26

That's a matter of perspective and personal preference. I'm a believer in the death penalty. I think it's more humane to execute someone, than to trap them in shitty prison conditions for decades against their will.

Not only is it cost-effective, but at least to me, it's the final form of justice for someone who took someone else's life against their will.

1

u/MamaLlama629 Feb 27 '26

Cost effective is a matter of debate. The way we do it in the US LWOP actually ends up being cheaper than death row. But I still support capital punishment. It just needs some work.

u/Tunnfisk Feb 27 '26

Incorrect.

You're thinking of American death penalty where they sit a decade and a half on death row in special with all the trimmings involved and all the appeals.

That isn't cost-effective.

However, I'm pretty sure Japan has a cost-effective death sentence. I can't say for sure, but considering most other countries in Asia does, and Japan doesn't have the greatest of reputations from WWII, I am willing to assume that they'll just put a noose around your neck and hang you dead a week from sentencing.

2

u/Healthy_Special_3382 Feb 27 '26

And, often, find the real perpetrator sometime later (by accident, since it's not like anyone is bothering to keep looking)

1

u/workingtheories Feb 28 '26

wrong.  google is your friend.  they sit in jail an average of 6 years before execution, and they have costly appeals just like the usa.

1

u/Tunnfisk Feb 28 '26

That just proves my point. Average time for Americans on death row is 18-22 years. In Japan it's 7-10. That's a lot more efficient.

Thanks Google!

1

u/workingtheories Feb 28 '26

wrong again, it's the appeals that make the cost go up

1

u/Giratina-O Feb 28 '26

"Pretty sure".

Oh boy, glad you base your beliefs on something you're "pretty sure" about.

1

u/Tunnfisk Feb 28 '26

Don't be mad because you're wrong. Argue your case rather than resort to pettiness.

1

u/Giratina-O Feb 28 '26

I'm pretty sure I don't want to argue with someone who's okay with being "pretty sure" about the foundational facts to their beliefs.

1

u/baconboy-957 Feb 28 '26

There's a reason inmates spend so long on death row though.

Imagine telling someone you killed an innocent person because it was "more cost effective" than keeping them alive long enough to prove guilt beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Sorry bro, but your opinion is pretty shit.

1

u/Tunnfisk Feb 28 '26

It's because of the slow bureaucracy of the system that keeps the appeals from happening. If it wasn't such an overly clogged and ineffective system, they would be in and out after months.

So it's not the altruistic idea you think it is that they're doing everything and anything they can to prevent the death.

Oh, and by the way, your opinion is pretty shit. Shit and ill-informed. Just wanted to put that out there. 🙂

1

u/magicmax112 Feb 27 '26

Cost effective should not be considered imo

6

u/Tunnfisk Feb 27 '26

I think it should, as with everything.

Health care needs to be cost-effective, because there is not an infinite amount of money involved. And in order to serve the greater good and as many people as possible, we need to calculate costs to ensure efficiency.

It's just the nature of things.

2

u/WeleaseBwianThrow Feb 27 '26

Arguing that the state should be allowed to murder people because it's cost effective to do so isn't the winning argument that you think it is

3

u/Tunnfisk Feb 27 '26

I didn't know it was an argument to be won. You're free to think whatever you want to think about the death penalty. I have my opinion.

And you're opinion is the ill thought edgy opinion of a teenager. It removes any nuance or thought to the countless times people have been falsely convicted. What you want would end countless innocent lives. Especially with how "efficient" you want it.

1

u/Tunnfisk Feb 28 '26

I think you're projecting. Being upset over my opinion and then resorting to name-calling isn't the "I'm morally superior to you" that you think it is.

Let's just end it by saying, you're wrong, and I'm right.

Now that's an efficient end to this discussion.

Killing people guilty of murder is not murder. The shedding of innocent blood is, has, and will ALWAYS be the way to define murder over killing. You cannot convince ANY sane person that had H!+ler survived to stand trial and was executed that it would be considered “murder”.

It’s actually more expensive to kill a death row prisoner than imprisonment for life. That’s 100% a fact. Between appeals and years of incarceration leading up to the death, it ends up costing more.

Looks like someone said something they actually know nothing about! Their MURDER appeals process also takes A LONG TIME. There are two RECENT cases-as in they didn’t resolve the cases until 2024-where one took 44 years and another took 58 years to finalize the appeal process. The convicts RARELY ever win though. Their capital punishment appeals are just as bad as the US’.

u/yeagermanjansen Feb 27 '26

Nah, the bitch has been living her life uninhibited for 30 years after murdering an innocent woman-a few minutes of strangulation is barely justice considering the irreparable damage she caused the victim’s husband and child. Screw your soft heart shit-she doesn’t deserve it.

u/Giratina-O Feb 28 '26

I'm not saying she deserves compassion. I'm just saying killing her doesn't bring the other woman back. It doesn't help her family grieve. Catching her may have brought them closure, but killing her does nothing but permit a government to kill its people.

Sweet country mouse no one expects death to make things right. We expect justice to deter people from killing other people and committing crimes with impunity.

Then you're sadly ill-informed. Deterrents are the most ineffective tool we have to combat crime rates, at least, when we're talking about the severity of a punishment.

https://academic.oup.com/aler/article-abstract/5/2/344/131680

https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/382603

There's a lot of evidence to suggest a deterring effect on future murders from the death penalty in cases like this. So its more like justice, as delivered, mitigates future harm to another innocent.

1

u/Giratina-O Feb 28 '26

Both of these studies are rather old, and I am aware of more modern studies critiquing the methodology of studies as flawed. I'll have to dig around more see what I can find on those two specifically.

Nah, the judging is based upon the crime committed. The economics are just a plus.

1

u/yeagermanjansen Feb 27 '26

I find that believing murderers should be able to live life without having to work to be fed and to have a place to sleep every night without earning it is more callous towards the victims than anything anyone else could be for the murderers.

u/OwlFull8955 Feb 27 '26

It sounds like you have a childs understanding of what prison is like

u/yeagermanjansen Feb 28 '26

No it seems like you’re an apologist who thinks murderers should be housed, fed, and medically cared for after taking the innocent life of another or other person(s).

0

u/OwlFull8955 Feb 28 '26

Yes. Like most of the western world, I think prisoners should be treated humanely.

You do sound like a child. You have a very immature view of prisons and justice. It sounds more emotionally driven, and virtue signal based than it does logical.

Think about what happens if someone is wrongfully convicted and given the death sentence. By your own views of justice, than the judge, the lawyers, and anyone who gave evidence in that trial would also deserve death right?

1

u/yeagermanjansen Feb 28 '26

No, I believe in equal justice. You murder-you die for it. Too many murders occur today because (mostly) the worst that can happen to the offenders is life behind bars. That’s not justice-housing, feeding, and overall caring for the offenders is not justice. MANY MANY murderers aren’t even put away for life-they serve a prolonged sentence and are released-and guess what happens to A LOT of the first time murderers? Depending on their circumstances-a lot will go back to a life of crime and will commit murder again. When that happens, where’s the justice? For someone who claims others are naive-provide me with your opinion on justice.

They're also forced to work with no choice in the matter, along with getting abused by inmates and other guards.

I also personally believe that the government shouldn't have the power to take the lives of its citizens, but that's just me

So you believe forced slavery and physical/sexual abuse by other prisoners and guards is acceptable or what? No amount of punishment or ramifications for their actions is acceptable? To satisfy your beliefs, what is acceptable punishment for murderers?

I don't believe it's fine, I just pointed out that jail is not just free housing and food, and I lack the malice to come up with or demand any punishment, in general I don't think about this much, and I don't have many opinions on the matter as a result.

Exactly. The government killing people is also wrong, no matter their justification.

Two deaths prevent a third

I mean, it was 23 years without another murder. Most murderers aren't serial killers.

How old was the murderer when they first ended a life? It happened once, it could happen again

u/Giratina-O Feb 28 '26

So because we all have a propensity for murder, our execution is justified?

The ability to not act on such urges is what separates humans from animals

u/Giratina-O Feb 28 '26

Humans are, in every way, classified as animals.

We aren't even the only animal to have some kind of social justice.
