He was caught trying to dispose of her remains in a local park and arrested by French police, then later sent to an insane asylum. However, his wealthy father was able to get Issei deported to an asylum in Japan, where he only stayed 15 MONTHS before being released a free man.
What really makes this story sick and demented, is the fact that Japanese society (overall) literally EMBRACED this man. Instead of being socially shunned for his actions, he became a minor celebrity, openly discussing his crime on talk shows and radio broadcasts in exchange for money.
To this day he is still a free man living in Japan, without a care in the world…
I saw his documentary on a show called "Most Evil", and simply could not believe what I was hearing as they described this unspeakable injustice. I simply can't imagine what Renée's family and friends were and still are going through because of this.
This is the ultimate form of injustice in my opinion, because not only did he serve such a small sentence, he actually benefited financially and socially for what he did.

Oddly enough, I didn't find that article as horrific or shocking as the 'schoolgirl in concrete', and I think that's mainly as the woman was shot and all the acts happened after her death. There was no real suffering per se on her part, whereas in the other article I can't even imagine the trauma of the girl who went through that prior to her death.
That said for someone to kill a person is unforgiveable, and for the man to do what he did afterwards is simply sick, twisted and incomprehensible. He was clearly insane, and obviously a danger to society, what he did was plain wrong. I can't understand how they released him from the mental institute! He should be kept in there for life. How he became a minor celebrity in Japan I don't know. To make someone a celebrity after doing something so sick and twisted . . . it seems backwards to me, like people cheering at the hangings in the Revolution, or people getting excited as Christians were fed to the lions. The woman was killed and what happened after was horrific, how anyone could find that entertaining is beyond me.
