Takahiro Shiraishi contacted eight women and one man between the ages of 15 and 25 through Twitter. They all had in common that they suffered from suicidal thoughts.
Shiraishi tricked them into his apartment and said he would kill himself with them, but killed them instead, according to the BBC.
Cut heads
It was during the search for a 23-year-old woman in Tokyo in 2017 that clues led to Shiraishi’s apartment.
Neighbors stated that it must have smelled throughout the house.
“It was a stench that I had never felt before,” the witness told the Sankei Shumbun newspaper.
Body parts of at least nine people must have been found in the apartment. They all should have had their heads cut off.
Two of the heads were found outside the apartment in a picnic-style cooler before the remaining body parts could be located in various storage rooms in the apartment, according to the AFP news agency.
