Miyazaki abducted and killed the girls, aged from four to seven, in his car before dismembering and sexually molesting their corpses. Miyazaki's crimes included not only kidnapping, , and necrophilia, but also vampirismthe preservation of body parts as trophies, and taunting the families of his victims. Miyazaki was diagnosed as having one or more personality disordersbut was determined to be sane and aware of his crimes and their consequences. Miyazaki was sentenced to death in and was executed by hanging in Miyazaki's extensive collection of anime and horror videotapes caused a moral panic against otaku in Japan. Tsutomu Miyazaki was born on 21 August in ItsukaichiTokyothe eldest son of a wealthy family. Miyazaki was born premature and suffered from a rare birth defect that caused his hand joints to be fused together, preventing him from being able to bend his wrists upwards. Due to his parents being busy, Miyazaki was mainly raised by his grandfather and an intellectually disabled Children Who Kill: Profiles of Pre-teen and Teenage Killers the family hired as a nanny. Miyazaki was ostracized when he attended Itsukaichi Elementary School due to his deformity, and consequently kept to himself. Miyazaki attended Meidai Nakano High School in Nakanoa prestigious high school associated with Meiji Universityand was a star student until his grades began to drop dramatically. Miyazaki was ranked 40 out of 56 in his class, and did not receive the customary admission to Meiji University for students of the school. Instead of studying English and becoming a teacher as he originally intended, Miyazaki attended a local junior college and studied to become a photography technician. In the mids, Miyazaki moved back into his parent's house in Istukaichi near his father's print shop, sharing a room with his elder sister. Although Miyazaki's family was highly influential in Itsukaichi, he expressed no desire to take over his father's job. After his arrest, Miyazaki would say that what he really craved was "being listened to about his problems" but believed that his parents, more worried about the material than the sentimental"would have not heard [him]; [he] would've been ignored". Miyazaki felt he only received support from his grandfather, to whom he was close, and was rejected by his two younger sisters. In MayMiyazaki's grandfather died, which served to deepen his depression and isolated him even further. A few weeks later, one of Miyazaki's sisters caught him watching her while she was taking a shower, and when she told him to leave, he attacked her. When Miyazakis' mother learned of the incident and demanded that he spend more time working, and less time with his videos, he attacked her as well. Between August and JuneMiyazaki mutilated and killed four girls between the ages of four and seven, and sexually molested their corpses. He drank the blood of one victim and ate a part of her hand. During the day, Miyazaki was, by all accounts, a mild-mannered individual. Outside of work, he randomly selected children to kill. He wrote to the families of his victims, sending them letters recalling the details of his . Police found that the families of the victims had something else in common: all received silent nuisance phone calls. Miyazaki would not speak a word during these calls, instead simply breathing heavily. On 22 Augustone day after Miyazaki's 26th birthday, Mari Konno, a 4-year-old girl, vanished while playing at a friend's house. After failed attempts to find her, Konno's father contacted the police. Miyazaki had led Konno into his black Nissan Langley then drove westward of Tokyo and parked the car under a bridge in a wooded area. There, Miyazaki sat alongside Konno for half an hour before murdering her, then engaged in necrophilia with her corpse. Miyazaki dumped Konno's body in the hills near his home, departing with her clothes. Miyazaki allowed Konno's corpse to decompose for a while before later returning to remove her hands and feet, which Children Who Kill: Profiles of Pre-teen and Teenage Killers kept in his closet at home. Miyazaki burned Konno's remaining bones in his furnace, ground them into powder, and sent them to her family in a box, along with several of her teethphotos of her clothes, and a postcard which read: "Mari. On 3 OctoberMiyazaki abducted 7-year-old Masami Yoshizawa after spotting her while driving along a rural road. Miyazaki had offered Yoshizawa a ride, which she accepted, then drove her to the same place he had killed Konno. Miyazaki killed Yoshizawa then engaged in sexual acts with her corpse, and took her clothes with him when he departed. On Children Who Kill: Profiles of Pre-teen and Teenage Killers DecemberMiyazaki abducted 4-year-old Erika Namba as she was returning home from a friend's house. Miyazaki had forced Namba into his car then drove to a parking lot in Naguri, Saitamawhere he forced her to remove her clothes in the back seat and began to take pictures of her. Miyazaki killed Namba then tied her hands and feet behind her back, covered her with a bed sheetand placed her body in his car's trunk. Miyazaki disposed of Namba's clothes in a wooded area and left her body in the adjoining parking lot, where it was discovered three days later. On 20 December, Namba's family received a postcard sent by Miyazaki with a message assembled using words cut out of magazines: "Erika. On 6 JuneMiyazaki convinced 5-year-old Ayako Nomoto to allow him to take pictures of her. Miyazaki then led Nomoto into his car and murdered her, covered her corpse with a bed sheet and placed her in the trunk of his car. Miyazaki took Nomoto's corpse into his apartment and spent the next two days engaging in sexual acts with it, taking pictures of it in various positions, and filming it. Miyazaki kept her hands, drinking blood from and cannibalizing them. Fearing that the police Children Who Kill: Profiles of Pre-teen and Teenage Killers find Nomoto's body parts, Miyazaki returned to the cemetery and the hills two weeks later and carried the remains back to his apartment, where he hid them in his closet. Miyazaki was taking photographs of the younger daughter, who he had Children Who Kill: Profiles of Pre-teen and Teenage Killers to strip nude, when he was caught by their father, who attacked Miyazaki but was unable to restrain him. A search of Miyazaki's two-room bungalow produced 5, videotapesChildren Who Kill: Profiles of Pre-teen and Teenage Killers containing anime and slasher films Children Who Kill: Profiles of Pre-teen and Teenage Killers used as reasoning for his crimes. Interspersed among them was video footage and pictures of his victims. Miyazaki was also reported to be a fan of horror filmsof which he had a collection. Miyazaki, who retained a perpetually calm and collected demeanor during his trial, appeared indifferent to his capture. Miyazaki's arrest and publication of his crimes led to the media dubbing him "The Otaku Murderer", in reference to otaku culture. Various newspapers claimed that Miyazaki had retreated into a fantasy world of manga as a result of his neglected upbringing. The danger of a whole generation of youth who do not even experience the most primary two- or three-way relationship between themselves and their mother and father, and who cannot make the transition Children Who Kill: Profiles of Pre-teen and Teenage Killers a fantasy world of videos and manga to reality, is now extreme. These reports were disputed. Miyazaki's trial began on 30 March Often talking nonsensically, Miyazaki blamed his actions on "Rat Man", an alter ego who Miyazaki claimed forced him to kill; he spent time during the trial drawing "Rat Man" in cartoon form. The seven-year trial focused on Miyazaki's mental state at the time of the murders. Under Japanese law, people of unsound minds are not subject to punishment, and the feeble- minded are entitled to reduced sentences. Three teams of court-appointed expert psychiatrists came to differing conclusions about Miyazaki's ability to tell right from wrong. Two teams determined him to be feeble-minded—one team concluding that he was schizophrenicthe other that he had multiple personality disorder. A third team found that although Miyazaki had a personality disorder, he was still capable of taking responsibility for his actions. The Tokyo District Court judged him aware of the magnitude and consequences of his crimes and therefore accountable. He was sentenced to death on April 14, He described his serial murders as an "act of benevolence". From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. This article needs additional citations for verification.

Harold Jones (murderer) - Wikipedia Harold Jones 11 January — 2 January [1] was a child murderer who committed the murder of two preadolescent girls in MonmouthshireWales in when he was Jones was acquitted of the murder of his first victim, 8-year-old Freda Burnell, [3] at Monmouthshire Assizes on 21 June Just 17 days later, he murdered an year-old neighbour named Florence Little. Jones pleaded guilty to Little's murder and also confessed to having murdered Freda Burnell at his second trial. Owing to his being under 16 at the time he committed the murders, Jones escaped capital punishment for his crimes; instead being sentenced to be detained at His Majesty's pleasure on 1 November Harold Jones was born in the Welsh colliery town of Abertillery in Januarythe eldest of four children born into a poor family. Jones left school at 14 to obtain employment—largely as a means of Children Who Kill: Profiles of Pre-teen and Teenage Killers his family's income. He found employment at a local oil and seed merchant named Mortimer's Stores. Here, he was known to be a punctual and trustworthy employee who was both capable of managing the shop without help, and popular with customers. On the afternoon of 5 Februaryan eight-year-old girl named Freda Elsie Burnell was reported missing by her parents. She had last been seen by her father, Fred, [11] at approximately 9 o'clock that morning, having been sent on an errand from her home at 9 Earl Street to purchase poultry spice and grit from Mortimer's Stores in nearby Somerset Street to feed the family livestockwith her father promising her a penny upon her return. When Burnell had not returned home after an hour, her frantic parents began making inquiries, including at the store Freda had been sent to visit. The following morning, Burnell's body was found by a collier concealed in a sack in an alleyway just yards from the store she had visited. An attempt had also been made to rape the child. Investigators noted that a Children Who Kill: Profiles of Pre-teen and Teenage Killers run in the shed belonging to Harold Jones's employers located just a few hundred yards [17] from where the body had been discovered had corn chaff extensively scattered upon the ground, and a handkerchief known to have been in Freda's possession at the time of her disappearance was also found on the ground in the shed. In addition, an axe handle determined to have caused the blunt trauma to Freda's head was discovered concealed beneath some sacking inside the shed. Levi Meyrick's statement to police describing Harold Jones's actions between p. Nonetheless, investigators were convinced otherwise, and he was held in detention at Abertillery Police Station to await the outcome of the coroner's inquest. The inquest into the death of Burnell was formally opened on 7 March. He performed poorly on the stand; repeatedly giving conflicting testimony as to his actions on the day of the murder and being forced to admit to lying about various aspects of his testimony on one occasion prompting the coroner to scold him and insist he tell the truth. In response to this formal charge, Jones replied: "I know it looks black against me, but I never done it. On this date, a decision to try Jones for the wilful murder of Freda Burnell was reached. Bail was refused, and he was detained at Usk Prison to await trial. Jones was brought to trial for the murder of Burnell at Monmouthshire Assizes on 21 June. Although Jones had contradicted himself on several occasions at the initial inquest, he remained calm when called to testify in his own defence at trial, also withstanding rigorous cross-examination. His employer, Herbert Henry Mortimer, provided him with an alibi, insisting he had heard Jones and his own son working in the store in the early morning of 5 February before the two had been sent to deliver a sack of potatoes to a customer at approximately 10 a. Furthermore, on the third day of the trial Jones's own father challenged the prosecutor's contention his son had placed Freda's body in the alley on the evening of her murder, insisting his son had not left the family home between the time he had returned home from work and the following morning, and that he would likely have known so had this been the case. His testimony was corroborated by his wife, who also stressed her son had always exhibited "good behaviour" towards young girls. Despite the evidence presented at this trial clearly indicating that Freda had most likely been killed in the shed belonging to Jones's employers and only Harold and the Mortimer family having access to the key, after deliberating for over five hours, [23] the jury found Jones not guilty of Freda's murder, returning a unanimous verdict [18] of murder by person or persons unknown. Jones walked free from the courtroom to a private and reportedly tearful reunion with his parents before being escorted to a local restaurant for a meal. At this service, Jones stood upon a table and addressed his numerous supporters [27] with Children Who Kill: Profiles of Pre-teen and Teenage Killers speech in which he stated: "I thank you all. I do not hold a grudge against the people of Abertillery for the horrendous ordeal I have been put through. We knew you didn't do it. Seventeen days after Jones's acquittal of Burnell's murder, on 8 July, he observed a neighbour of Children Who Kill: Profiles of Pre-teen and Teenage Killers named Florence Irene Little playing hopscotch with his sister, Flossie, outside his home at 10 Darran Road. Inside Jones's home, she was instantly partially strangled and dragged into the kitchen, [4] where she was beaten across the head and temple with a plank of wood before Jones suspended her head and neck over his sink, grabbed her by the hair, and cut her throat with his father's pocketknife. Having washed all the bloodstains he noted from Children Who Kill: Profiles of Pre-teen and Teenage Killers sink, walls, floor, and entrance hatch to the attic, Jones proceeded to bathe himself. The simultaneous searches of nearby woodland and mountains were assisted by hundreds of local volunteers including Harold Jones. Little when she had called upon his house asking as to her daughter's whereabouts: that she had been at his front door, but had then simply "ran off. Also discovered in the police search of Jones's home were the bloodstained knife Jones had used to murder Florence, a small egg-saucepan filled with a mixture of blood and water beneath the sink over which he had cut the child's throat, a bloodstained plank of wood measuring 19 inches in length concealed beneath the family boiler, and a bloodstained table close to the entrance to the attic in which Florence's body had been concealed. Informed of the discovery in his attic, Phillip Jones left his property and performed a citizen's arrest on his son as he conversed with a friend in nearby Mitre Street. Jones then accompanied his father back to Darran Road, where he was placed under arrest. When news of Jones's arrest for the suspected murder of a second young girl reached the local public, an irate crowd of approximately people gathered outside the local police station, demanding his immediate release. In response, Superintendent Lewis addressed the crowd, Children Who Kill: Profiles of Pre-teen and Teenage Killers "I have found the body of the child in the attic of Harold Jones, foully murdered, and I have arrested Harold Jones. I think this is all I can tell you and it would help us if you disperse and go to your homes. On 11 July, an inquest into the death of Little was formally opened. Again conducted by the deputy coroner for the district, the jury heard testimony on this date that Little had bled to death from the wound to her throat. Also to testify at the inquest was Little's mother, Elsie, who stated that when she had knocked at the Jones residence on the date of her daughter's disappearance, it had taken Jones the sole occupant in the house at the time a full two minutes to answer the door, with the explanation he had been bathing when she called. When she asked Jones whether he had seen her daughter, he had smiled before replying: "Florrie's been here, but went through the back way. Children Who Kill: Profiles of Pre-teen and Teenage Killers inquest was adjourned until 23 July, with the jury subsequently reaching a unanimous verdict of wilful murder against Jones after just 30 minutes' deliberation. He was Children Who Kill: Profiles of Pre-teen and Teenage Killers detained at Usk Prison to await trial. Harold Jones's written statement, formally confessing to the murder of Florence Little. While awaiting trial, Jones formally confessed to the murder of Florence Little via a written statement dated 17 September. In this statement, Jones described his motive for the murder as being a "desire to kill". He was tried before Mr Justice Bray, with the prosecution contending this murder had been primarily committed due to Jones having enjoyed being "a part of the public eye" due to the attention he had received following his arrest and acquittal of Burnell's murder weeks earlier, [28] adding that he had made evident attempts to conceal evidence of the crime within his home after the murder. The trial lasted just one hour; Jones was ordered to be detained at His Majesty's pleasure. As he was under 16 at the time of conviction, he could not be subjected to any form of capital punishment. Shortly after Jones was escorted to prison to begin his sentence, a second written statement was read aloud to the court. This statement—also penned prior to his trial—read: "I, Harold Jones, wilfully and deliberately murdered Freda Burnell in Mortimer's Shed on 5 February The reason for this act was a desire to kill. Jones served 20 years of his imposed sentence of . At the conclusion of the Second World WarJones briefly resided in Newport[14] although byhe is known to have relocated to FulhamLondon, using the alias Harry Stevens. He later married and fathered a child. Jones died of bone cancer on 2 January Shortly after the murder of Little, his employer, Herbert Mortimer, closed his shop and relocated with his family from Abertillery to an unknown location. Reportedly, this decision was made due to both a mixture of ostracization from locals regarding the Children Who Kill: Profiles of Pre-teen and Teenage Killers testimony he had delivered at Children Who Kill: Profiles of Pre-teen and Teenage Killers trial for the murder of Burnell, and his own guilt that this false testimony had enabled Jones to subsequently remain at liberty and kill again. Both Burnell and Little were buried in Brynithel Cemetery. The girls' graves were subsequently restored in From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Harold Jones. AbertilleryWales.
