The public is expressing strong anger and fear following the tragic murder of a young girl in Mysuru, with significant concerns regarding safety, accountability, and justice. There is a widespread demand for harsh penalties for the perpetrators, highlighting the inadequacies of current systems in protecting children and delivering justice.

and, why don't / didn't the Royal family adopt a child and bring up as heir, instead of adopting a 20+ year old dude, and quickly get him married to one Rajput princess, and all the drama?

donoteatthatfrog

They seem to have a receding heirline all right..

All jokes aside, the mystical woo-woo of an alleged curse is good for business - it keeps the people talking, and a touch of tragedy adds to the general glamour of otherwise-irrelevant royalty.

What happened to the Mysore heir? I am not updated on Mysore news.

iam_root

But the problem is that this has been happening, it can't be a conspiracy because there not being a true born son is actually a BIG headache to the royal family itself... They wouldn't go around having a conspiracy that created problems for themselves... And there has been a recorded history of the true born sons not having their own sons... 



And regarding the current predicament, it was the previous kings fault, he didn't want to adopt anyone till he had solved all the cases and issues the royal family has with the government (of which there are MANY), something to do with not wanting to leave a dept as inheritance, but he died an early death so the Queen mother had to inherit the current king as her adopted son in a hurry. And his marriage was just a consequence, he was already  supposed to marry the Rajput princess anyhow...

18 and 19 Jesus. Imagine going straight out of high school into a hit team.

The whole 'near a daycare' stuff is so ridiculous. It has nothing to do with a daycare, who even knows how close it was. It's almost as if if you add the word 'daycare' to an article related to crime you'll get more people clicking it huh.

aladdin142

Hopefully whoever organised the hit is caught too and rots in prison. Interesting how they caught this one before the hit.

The body worn cameras was intriguing, why did they want footage of this?

*The two vehicles were stopped after detectives at Condell Park identified three men – Greall Tighe, 18, Kevin Mundine, 19, and Tyrone Tuiluga Rio, 26 – allegedly preparing an organised crime hit on another man near a daycare centre.*

Greall Tighe: [A teenager hit with a staggering 17 aggravated break and enter charges after an alleged six-day crime spree across Sydney has been released from custody, in what has been labelled the state’s latest “bail fail”.  Greall Tighe allegedly committed a string of shop break-ins and midnight home invasions with a group of friends in late January, just two weeks after his 18th birthday.](https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/mps-weigh-in-as-greall-tighe-18-bailed-on-17-break-and-enter-charges-following-alleged-teen-crime-spree/news-story/7cd629729d156d5fbf044677865d4b69)

  
*Justice Wright agreed to grant bail on Monday after Tighe said the jail attack had been a pivotal moment for him that had changed his attitude. “It’s traumatising … I’ve almost got my life taken off from me, basically, and it’s a wake-up call to be honest, you know,” he said. Tighe told the court he planned to spend his time on bail “training” at home and helping his aunt around the house.*

Well, that worked well, didn't it? You believed a scumbag when he said "I promise I'll be good," and look how that turned out.

With the constant reference to daycare centres in crime reporting, it is rapidly becoming clear to me what the causes of al our criminal activity actually are!

FULL INVESTIGATION REQUIRED NOW - into the toddlers causing this wave of organised crime across our city.

The NSW police release mentioned the “near a daycare” angle first. Seems to be post the siege last week in an adjacent suburb where a shooting was next to a daycare centre. 

As a former resident, you’ll find a lot of the daycare centres in this area, are owned by criminals and potentially used as money laundering fronts. I imagine this statement by NSW police was a deliberate “we are on to you” for certain players.

2tall4heels

Wonder if they will link these guys to any other hits.

Several-Regular-8819

We rode past this yesterday after it all unfolded.. was wondering what all the commotion was earlier  hearing the sirens and whatnot a suburb away.

As far as I'm aware, where this incident transpired, there is no daycare. May be on an adjacent street or further back down the rd...it was close to the revesby fire station, before the turn off to the M5.

Edit: I get that they were intercepted at this point on their way to a hit that may have been "near" a daycare.

twwain

The title of the article is already so sensationalized, I hate to think how excessively dramatised the rest of the article must be.

Smart_Variation2552

Maybe I’m misreading but the smh article says the target was at a daycare centre not near.

I get you're not going to get Mensa members applying for these roles but do the higher ups even doing any checking? 17 burglaries in a month and caught for all of them.

Even if the police weren't tracking them what are the chances they successfully pull off the hit and burn the cars without setting themselves on fire.

Intelligent-Bee-166

Has anyone found dashcam/phone footage of this? It was peak hour, surely there’s more out there than the sanitised and edited mainstream media videos. The cops lit the cars up, but apparently none of the suspects were injured? Why were the cops firing in the middle of heavy traffic? Did the suspects point firearms at the police or shoot first?

if it wasn't  headed to near a daycare, they were going take the video of the hit  and pretend they don't know who did it.. sell the video to media outlets  or something 



no they are just saying they didn't want to be at the target ... they had to do the  stop on a busy street ..


shitting into a  car where innocent peoples are near .. also stopped..

i guess the tactical squad surrounded the  perps well... they didn't explain the shooting...

FreddyFerdiland

This policy shift has been a long time coming. The public started demanding this after the Junko Furuta incident and it became a talking point around Natsumi Tsuji as well.

People are sick of minors literally getting away with murder just because of their age.

NonbiriKaori

20 was considered the age of adulthood for most legal purposes in Japan until recent legal changes bringing it down to 18. The person in question was 19 at the time of the crime - a minor at the time under Japanese law, though an adult in most other countries. The context is probably different for most readers outside of Japan. 

Edit: initially stated headline could be misleading, but have revised my original comment given the replies below. The headline is accurate but may be misconstrued by readers outside of Japan who don’t read the linked article. I know I was definitely thinking “under 18” just from the headline.

waychanger

&gt;In the trial, Endo said he committed the crimes as the elder daughter, who attended the same high school, refused to go on a date with him, which made him feel "desperate and angry." He also said he was discontent with his relationship with his parents.

Are you serious? Because you got rejected and have a bad relationship with your parents, you decide to kill people and set a home on fire? Prostitution is plentiful and cheap in Japan. Go get yourself laid and move the fuck on. I'm glad this pile of shit is getting the death sentence.

I read the title and was like, oh that seems horrible. Then read it's a double murder arson and he beat up 1 of the couples 2 daughters and was like nvm. I know the death penalty is serious and unpopular because justice isn't always perfect. However, he murdered 2 people and destroyed the lives of 2 more and that's before the impact to the community and the family of the victims. I  have no sympathy for him, but hopefully the verdict protects the surviving victims and community from someone who has no respect for life. 

All this because the eldest daughter didn't want to go on a date with him? So he murders her parents and burns her house down.... yeah even if someone has a rough life this isn't acceptable.

komari_k

This policy needs to be replicated around the world. Too many “youths” are getting away with literal murder. They know exactly what they’re doing. There needs to be consequences.

junglehypothesis

He deserves it, he murdered 2 elderly just because their grand daughter wouldn't go out with him and he was 19 years old when he did it, hardly a minor

frogman202010

&gt;In the trial, Endo said he committed the crimes as the elder daughter, who attended the same high school, refused to go on a date with him, which made him feel "desperate and angry."

I really don't think we're going to miss having this person on the planet.

Death penalty is cringe, regardless of the crime. Barbaric stuff.

So is the death penalty speedier and cheaper in Japan vs the US?

People here should really watch this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L30_hfuZoQ8

Some truly vile comments in this thread. The death penalty in Japan is probably one of the most ghoulish and backwards aspects of a country that is fairly modernized. Seeing people make snide comments here is some real sick shit. 

[The death penalty is just human sacrifice.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0KFzlmRdbw)

It's a very favorable story indeed.No one who has committed a crime punishable by death should be excluded on the basis of age.Also, the majority of Japanese do not want to support death row inmates with the taxes they have worked and paid.
We cannot afford to have further victims by valuing ethics and morality.We believe that he should be executed as soon as possible.

masutifu-1919

Everybody who commit crime should be punished. No matter how young they are. Throw em all in one cell then enjoy the dog eat dog show. Ehehehehhee

so let me get this straight: japan considered this **MAN** a minor at 19 years old in terms of being prosecuted for crimes, but only this year changed that gross 13 y/o age of consent rule. i love this country but shit like this leaves me scratching my head

Cool once he's been executed those dead people will totally come back

Deathnote_Blockchain

This Endo is the perfect example of Japan's pent up anger. Most people don't see it, but when I was there instead of seeing polite rule abiding people, all I saw was ticking time bombs. The Japanese are a waring culture itching for a fight and they're slowly taking it out on each other with their insane domestic/career expectations

My problem with this is that over 99% of all verdicts in Japan are guilty regardless of of verdict accuracy.

ShadowDurza

 We don't know yet, if the curse has ended or not. The current king is adopted, so he can have biological kids. We have to wait and see a couple of decades later when the prince grows up and gets married.

Odd-Description-

OP , I think the curse is still there. we should wait for the prince to get married.

SoggyContact6106

All this problem will be resolved if they crown a queen not a king. The curse involves the kings of Mysore right, why don't they once crown a queen.

Ashamed-Produce7544

It's a disgrace that they allowed [Junko Furuta](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Junko_Furuta)'s killers walk free.

Her killers should have gotten the death penalty but instead got off with 5-9 yrs because they were minors except for one guy who got 20 and another with 5-7 months *and then went on to commit more heinous crimes as they became adults

Slobbering_manchild

Kudos to the author of that article for burying the information about what Endo actually did 4 paragraphs deep underneath a misleading headline so people might be fooled into caring.

He was 19 and he stabbed an old man and woman to death in front of their children and burned their house down around them because their teenage daughter wouldn't go on a date with him. She and her younger sister saw the whole thing and before they fled the burning house he punched her in the face because why not.

And this wasn't a hot blooded argument, he went there, with knives and accelerant, absolutely intending to destroy her life by murdering her family because she wouldn't agree to date him.

Oh and of course the author missed out the part where he also [attacked her younger sister](https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/01/18/japan/crime-legal/japan-juvenile-crime-death-penalty/) with a machete.

I am not a fan of the death penalty but a more accurate headline would be 'japan to be remove piece of human garbage from planet before he kills again.'

Maleficent_Gain871

If you have the capability to kill someone with intent as a minor, you shouldn't be let free in society.

The-Real-Flashlegz

Well he stabbed to death two elderly people and set their house on fire. 

Penalty seems proportionate to the crime. 

Fuck around and find out I guess. 

UniverseCameFrmSmthn

Calling him a minor is pushing it. Yeah, he was under 20, which was adult at the time, but its now 18. Either way, in general, humans over 13 who murder people, operate at the same pre-meditation as someone over 18. 

I do realize there have been murderers of age 10, and some were tried as adults due to heinous nature. Some were tried as juveniles due to other circumstances.

cynicalmaru

deserved tbh when you look at what he's done

Exciting-Highlight41

I’m glad that this guy is being executed.  He seems like an absolute piece of scum.

I’m also glad to hear that Arson by itself gets the death penalty.  I didn’t know that.  Makes me feel a little safer from the crazies.

"The defendant, Yuki Endo, was 19 at the time of the attack in Kofu, Yamanashi Prefecture. "

19 is considered minor in Japan?

OrangeNood

How about change the title to "for sentenced to death for murder of two people". For first time? You want that to happen for 2nd time?

I know some people have strong opinions/ideology against the capital punishment, but you don't need to manipulate the title of a report for your cause.

Why’s the title trying to downplay the fact that he murdered two people in cold blood? No sympathy for the victims, but plenty for the murderer?

Auzquandiance

On 25 November 1988, Miyano and Minato wandered around Misato with the intention of robbing and raping local women. At 8:30 p.m., they spotted Furuta riding her bike home after she had finished a shift at her job. Under Miyano's orders, Minato kicked Furuta off her bike and fled the scene. Miyano, under the pretense of witnessing the attack by coincidence, approached Furuta and offered to walk her home safely.

Upon gaining her trust, he raped her in the warehouse, and again in a nearby hotel, threatening to kill her. From the hotel, Miyano called Minato and his other friends, Jō Ogura and Yasushi Watanabe, and bragged to them about the rape. Ogura reportedly asked Miyano to keep 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 another girl, whom they released afterward.

Around 3:00 a.m., Miyano took Furuta to a nearby park, where Minato, Ogura, and Watanabe were waiting. They had learned her home address from a notebook in her backpack and told her 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 house in the Ayase district of Adachi, and gang-raped her. The house, which was owned by Minato's parents, soon became their regular gang hangout.

On 27 November, Furuta's parents contacted the police about her disappearance. To discourage further investigation, the kidnappers forced her to call her mother three times to convince her that she had run away but was safe and staying with some friends. They also forced Furuta to stop the police investigation. When Minato's parents were present, Furuta was forced to act as his girlfriend. They dropped this pretense when it became clear that Minato's parents would not report them to the police. Minato's parents later claimed they did not intervene because they were afraid as their own son was increasingly violent toward them.

On the night of 28 November, Miyano invited two other boys, Tetsuo Nakumara and Koichi Ihara, E and F, respectively, to the Minato 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 state of unconsciousness, staring at the ceiling without blinking.

The group held Furuta captive in the Minato residence for 40 days, where they repeatedly beat, raped, and tortured her. They also invited other men and teenage boys home and encouraged them to take turns raping her.

According to the group's statements, the four shaved her pubic hair, forced her to dance to music while naked and masturbate in front of them, and left her on the balcony in the middle of the night 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 large amounts of alcohol, milk and water. She was also forced to smoke multiple cigarettes at once and inhale paint thinner. In one incident, Miyano repeatedly burned Furuta's legs and arms with lighter fluid. By the end of December, Furuta was severely malnourished after being fed only small amounts of food and eventually only milk. 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.

Furuta's appearance was drastically altered from the brutality of the attacks. Her face was so swollen that it was difficult to make out her features. Her body was also severely crippled, giving off a rotting smell that caused the four boys to lose sexual interest in her. As a result, the boys kidnapped and gang-raped a 19-year-old woman who, like Furuta, was on her way home from work.

Murder and investigation
On 4 January 1989, after losing a game of mahjong against another person the night before, Miyano decided to take his anger out on Furuta by pouring lighter fluid on her body and setting her on fire. Furuta allegedly made attempts to put out the fire, but gradually became unresponsive. They continued to punch her, ignited a candle and dripped hot wax on her face, placed two short 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. Since she was bleeding profusely, and pus was emerging from her infected burns, the four boys covered their hands in plastic bags. 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.

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

Dudes a monster but so is the death penalty. Studied show it’s more expensive than keeping people in prison, it doesn’t work as a deterrent, it gives to much power to the state, and it’s morally repugnant on top of that. Japan should be better.

VkAmdg

Australia needs to look into the death penalty

evertoneverton

Death penalty is one of the most barbaric systems in Japan, even if what he did was vile. People are killed at random times, from the inmates perspective, by hanging. 

If you can’t comprehend how inhumane and backwards this is that then you need help yourself by getting less emotional. Jail should be around reforming people and holding people if they can’t be. Not the satisfaction of killing.

It’s a shame I have to explain to adults why retaliatory killing is bad.

titaniumjew

This is not progress. We should abolish the death penalty.

smorkoid

If 18 year olds can get the death penalty give adult hood at that age.

not sure about capital punishment. won't bring the murdered back. Why not lock this POS up for life? Death seems like a cop out.

If you're American or European saying this is barbaric and that he shouldn't be put to death. Shut the fuck up no one asked for you to insert your Western sensibilities.
