How many years was the defendant sentenced for murdering the China sisters in Japan?

China sisters were killed in Japan: the defendant was sentenced to 23 years' imprisonment.

According to the news of Japan's * * * news agency on July 20th, the Yokohama District Court of Japan sentenced Japan's unemployed Ryuya Iwasaki (40 years old) to 23 years' imprisonment. He was charged with murder for allegedly killing his sister China, and the prosecution demanded the death penalty.

Kyodo News reported earlier that Ryuya Iwasaki (40 years old), an unemployed Japanese worker, was charged with murder for allegedly killing his acquaintance China's sister. In the public trial of Yokohama District Court on July 1 1, the prosecution demanded that the defendant be sentenced to death on the grounds of "planned and extremely barbaric behavior".

On July 3, the Yokohama District Court held the first public hearing of the case, and the defendant Iwasaki Ryong also denied all the contents of the indictment.

Defendant Iwasaki Ryuya

The public trial is first put forward by the prosecution. The prosecution said that the defendant Iwasaki often went to the restaurant where Chen's two sisters worked and had a good impression on her sister. However, the defendant was dissatisfied and killed after an argument with him. The prosecution believes that Iwasaki not only killed his sister, but also killed his sister together, reflecting his premeditated and obvious attempt to kill.

Iwasaki's defense lawyer said that the defendant had contact with his sister and had no motive for killing. The defendant also said that because her sister's visa to stay in Japan had expired, she thought of "pretending to be missing" and then entered the travel bag herself. All the defendant did was take the box to where he asked, and provided some help, which had nothing to do with killing people.

It is reported that the trial of this case ended at 2065438+2008+0 1 local time, and the verdict is expected to be pronounced on July 20th.

The victims are two sisters, the elder sister is Chen Baolan and the younger sister is Chen Baozhen. In 2009, my sister came to Japan as an international student, graduated in March 20 17, and worked in a restaurant in Yokohama before her death. My sister came to Japan in 20 12 and studied in a specialized school that made game software before her death. Both of them are from Fuqing, Fujian, and live together in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture.

On the evening of July 20 1 1 local time, his family turned to the Japanese embassy for help, reflecting the loss of contact. The embassy then informed that the Japanese police arrested the suspect on suspicion of illegal detention and suspected abandonment of the body.

According to the earlier indictment, on July 6, 2007, Iwasaki broke into the apartment in the downtown area of Yokohama where Chen Baolan (then 25 years old) and his sister Chen Baozhen (then 22 years old) lived, strangled them, and put their bodies in a travel bag to move out, and abandoned them in the mountains of Qinye City, Kanagawa Prefecture the next day.
