In Memory of Junko Furuta: The Girl Who Went through 44 days of Torture
Wednesday, April 14, 2010
On November 22, 1989:
Junko Furuta was a girl in Japan who was held captive in a house by four boys. There, she was raped countless times, then tortured to death in unimaginable and incomprehensible ways for 44 days. She was 16 years old.
In November of 1988, Boy A (then 18), Boy B (Jo Kamisaku, then 17; Kamisaku was a new family name he took after being released from prison [1]), Boy C (then 16) and Boy D (then 17) from Tokyo abducted and held Furuta, a second year high school (grade 11) student from Saitama Prefecture in Misato, for 44 days. They kept her captive in the house owned by the parents of Boy C.
To forestall a manhunt, Boy A coerced Furuta into calling her own parents and telling them that she had run away from home, but was with "a friend" and was not in danger. He also browbeat her into posing as one of the boys' girlfriends when the parents of the house where she was held were around, but when it became clear that the parents would not call the police, he dropped this pretext. Furuta tried to escape several times, begging the parents more than once to help her, but they did nothing, apparently out of fear that Boy A would hurt them. Boy A was at the time a low-level yakuza leader and had bragged that he could use his connections to kill anyone who interfered.
According to their statements at their trial, the four of them raped her, beat her, introduced foreign objects including an iron rod into her vagina, made her drink her own urine and was fed cockroaches, inserted fireworks into her anus, and set them off, forced Furuta to masturbate, cut her nipple with pliers, dropped dumbbells onto her stomach, and burned her with cigarettes and lighters. (One of the burnings was punishment for attempting to call the police.) At one point her injuries were so severe that according to one of the boys it took more than an hour for her to crawl downstairs to use the bathroom. They also related that "possibly a hundred different people" knew that Furuta had been imprisoned there, but it is not clear if this means they visited the house at different times while she was imprisoned there, or themselves either raped or abused her. When the boys refused to let her leave, she begged them on several occasions to "kill (her) and get it over with".
On January 4, 1989, using one of the boys' loss at mah-jongg as a pretext, the four beat her with an iron barbell, poured lighter fluid on her legs, arms, face and stomach, and set her on fire. She died later that day of shock. The four boys claimed that they were not aware of how badly injured she was, and that they believed she had been malingering.
The killers hid her corpse in an 55-gallon drum filled with cement; the perpetrators disposed the drum in a tract of reclaimed land in Koto, Tokyo.
Arrest and punishment
The boys were arrested and tried as adults; but, because of Japanese handling of crimes committed by juveniles, their identities were sealed by the court. However, a weekly magazine Shukan Bunshun reported their real names, claiming "Human rights aren't needed for brutes."[2] Furuta's real name and details about her personal life were reported exhaustively in the media. Kamisaku was judged as a sub leader, at least according to the official trial.
The four boys pled guilty to a reduced charge of "committing bodily injury that resulted in death", rather than murder. Boy A's parents sold their house for approximately 50 million yen and paid this as compensation to Furuta's family.[citation needed]
For his participation in the crime, Kamisaku served eight years in a juvenile prison before he was released, in August 1999. In July 2004, he was arrested for assaulting an acquaintance, whom he believed to be luring a girlfriend away from him, and allegedly bragged about his earlier infamy. [1] Kamisaku was sentenced to seven years in prison for the beating.
Junko's parents were dismayed by the sentences received by their daughter's killers, and enjoined a civil suit against the parents of the boy in whose home the crimes were committed. When some of the convictions were overturned on the basis of problematic physical evidence (the semen and pubic hair recovered from the body did not match those of the boys who were arrested), the lawyer handling the civil suit decided there was no case to be made and refused to represent them further. (There is speculation that the evidence may have been contaminated—for example, by unidentified persons who raped Furuta.
One of the most disturbing parts of this true story is that her killers are now free. After putting Junko Furuta through all that suffering, they are free men.
****-What they did to her and the suffering-****
These horrifying things done to Junko Furuta had been collected through the Japanese court trial of the case, and blogs from 1989. They show the pain that Junko Furuta had to endure before she was finally dead. All this had happened to her while she was still alive. They are disturbing, but the truth.
All of this had happened.
-
DAY 1: November 22, 1988: Kidnapped
Kept captive in house, and posed as one of boy's girlfriend
Raped (over 400 times in total)
Forced to call her parents and tell them she had run away
Starved and malnutritioned
Fed cockroaches to eat and urine to drink
Forced to masturbate
Forced to strip in front of others
Burned with cigarette lighters
Foreign objects inserted into her vagina/anus
DAY 11: December 1, 1988: Severely beat up countless times
Face held against concrete ground and jumped on
Hands tied to ceiling and body used as a punching bag
Nose filled with so much blood that she can only breath through her mouth
Dumbbells dropped onto her stomach
Vomited when tried to drink water (her stomach couldn't accept it)
Tried to escape and punished by cigarette burning on arms
Flammable liquid poured on her feet and legs, then lit on fire
Bottle inserted into her anus, causing injury
DAY 20: December10, 1989: Unable to walk properly due to severe leg burns
Beat with bamboo sticks
Fireworks inserted into anus and lit
Hands smashed by weights and fingernails cracked
Beaten with golf club
Cigarettes inserted into vagina
Beaten with iron rods repeatedly
Winter; forced outside to sleep in balcony
Skewers of grilled chicken inserted into her vagina and anus, causing bleeding
DAY 30: Hot wax dripped onto face
Eyelids burned by cigarette lighter
Stabbed with sewing needles in chest area
Left nipple cut and destroyed with pliers
Hot light bulb inserted into her vagina
Heavy bleeding from vagina due to scissors insertion
Unable to urinate properly
Injuries were so severe that it took over an hour for her to crawl downstairs and use the bathroom
Eardrums severely damaged
Extreme reduced brain size
DAY 40: Begged her torturers to "kill her and get it over with"
January 1, 1989: Junko greets the New Years Day alone
Body mutilated
Unable to move from the ground
DAY 44: January 4, 1989: The four boys beat her mutilated body with an iron barbell, using a loss at the game of Mah-jongg as a pretext. She is profusely bleeding from her mouth and nose. They put a candle's flame to her face and eyes.
Then, lighter fluid was poured onto her legs, arms, face and stomach, and then lit on fire. This final torture lasted for a time of two hours.
Junko Furuta died later that day, in pain and alone. Nothing could compare 44 days of suffering she had to go through.
When her mother heard the news and details of what had happened to her daughter, she fainted. She had to undergo a psychiatric outpatient treatment . Imagine her endless pain.
Her killers are now free men. Justice was never served, not even after 20 years.
They deserve a punishment much greater than they had put upon Furuta, for putting an innocent girl through the most unbearable suffering.
This story from 1989 is true. Please spread her story around. Everyone should know about the existence of Junko Furuta's unimaginable and incomprehensible suffering, and this is why this group has been made.
Invite your friends. Never let her story be forgotten. If this story changes the life of at least one person then it has been worth it.
Rest In Eternal Peace,
Junko Furuta

p.s: This is for myself to read.
So anyway my life is spiralling out of control again...why cuz on bloody september i will need to go to vietnam for one week and exactly after that i need to go to somewhere. What the fuck...both are obligatory somemore....why why..i am really grateful and all. But if put studies into consideration...this is hell on earth. All theses scenario mean i as human need to become superman campur batman campur spiderman. Work like hell man. I also dunno my assignment due on there or not...if not i die man.
Furthermore, i just finished my assignment...and still scared YM OH will minus marks for over till cannot over words. T.T
So updating from my previous blog....about the booo hooo sad i am lost kinda thing. When i read again its pretty pathetic...and yeah...bloody LPS is going to say" but u were always is" fuck u in advance. Why so rude wan this blog....thx to LPS...yes the broken mouth that i have. U know who u are. U DO AND ALWAYS WILL DO, even if u deny it.
Ok, anyway i am going to plan out what i want in my future and talk to my boss personally. She will know the market more than...so i need to know what opportunity that i have. However, i dont want to shun the Bank options aside..thus i am going to weight it...interview banking ppl and see how. I think this should be the best way to choose my decision.
So i am le shock that we are at our finals in the 2nd last sem...omg so freaking fast. cannot believe lor...i stil remember first sem we like blur childish kids so innocent...i dunno about LPS lar. Why i keep quoting her....omg umm tong i, OH NO....KILL ME NOW KILL ME NOW....anyway i also want to comment on us keep talking bad about the foundation ppl. Were we that idiotically stupid last time. OMG so embarassing. Actually the cycle go round and round wan lor...we talk bad others then ppl older will talk bad us....same wan lar.
So one question..LPS why u need to talk bad about ppl leh...open to the floor lar...WHY why. Do u find it enjoying to torment ppls life...whereby they dont even know why they are tormented...now that is true cruelty....LPS cakap cakap.
Ok i gtg sis ask me sleep...keep bloggin all these fai thing. Its fai but i need to revive this blog...as if its not dead enough.
ok lar post ur comments on the tag....bye.
P.s: comments above are not meant to be taken seriously. Just to spice up the blog..LPS hope u understand (Kambing Korban) Bye bye peace...PEACE
I am blogging again. Got mood lor....my blog followers need to be very patience wan. Hahaha jk. Anyway its been a long 3 months. Holiday? Rest? Nah i just worked and learned a lot. So here goes. I have reached a staged where carreer for me to choose is at hand, becuz i need to choose a job at the end of this year. Either i will go ahead with gold gold or work with the BANKS. Yes there is tons of stuff that i havent explore and i have plunged my head into Gold already. Which is 10% related with what i studied.
b4 my readers go on reading...the below written is all my thoughts...so it will be complicated. I am writting this as a diary. So it will be draggy and loads with bad grammer. Be Warned.
I am here in a crossroad where both side seems bright. One where many have traveled and succeded. The other few had travel and few had succeded. So i am thinking. If i choose their the road i might not be happy, but if i choose the other i will be happy. But is happiness enough to cover the sacrifices that u are going to make along the way. I have not reach there yet so i would not know.
Besides, i feel that i am useless working in gold gold. Its not that i cant do well in the jewellery....i can actually but its the other stuff. U see what i have been doing is just COPY COPY Copy everything other ppl do. I dont use my brain and try to solve problems. I dunno is it the bad memory that i have inherited. But anyway its this habit of following what other ppl say. Do this and that...follow and accept (quote from cheras)
I dont seem to be able to manage myself and others around. I know it can be learned but it needs time. I always lack focus and when i do a reapeated task i can just blanked out and my hands will keep doing the task. And when it passed i will have no memory over what i have done....weird huh. Its like my subconcious mind has taken over. It has become a habit till i dont use my brain and think of what i am doing.
So i feel useless when simple problems can be solved but i cant do it and my collegue will say that i am like children and duno how to do things. Anyway this is part of it.
The other part is my job....actually i love it but when it comes to the factory part i dont say i hate it but i just like it. Not in love with it. So i was thinking that if i keep doing this factory job like kuli like that. Then very sien lor if do long already. And i am not learning anything lor. So i see how it goes through this whole year.
I want to pursuit my career here but if they dont teach me more i might not know whether this job is my destiny...as i havent fully tried it out yet. I mean the process of making jewelery.
So for now i let time tell and i need to make a backup plan. What am i saying i already got a backup plan which is going to Banking or ask my boss to fly me to Holland and work there. Lolz. If not i have to ask advices from my boss, in what is her plan for me and so on.
I wrote this bcuz i got loads of advices from friends and family...more like critism on what is my plan. I guess they are worried and they believe that i may regret. They advice me about what the outcome maybe and said "if you think that the sacrifices is worth it and u are still happy then its fine"
Actually when i was eating lunch with my collegue in a cafe and i see the office ppl dress in formal wear and have so much money. I think well it does not mean office ppl will have loads of money. Maybe it would be more difficult for me, but who knows. who knows.
What i want is not just become jeweller but explore other carrer and jobs. I may never know what other jobs that i could have loved. Cuz i got youth where else my collegue are all old d...they depend on this job...while i still can fly far and wide.
This is added in the last minute: i read the poem the road less travelled. When iwas young i dont even understand but now i understood clearly. Yes the other road may have the better claim, but what the heck i choose the one less travelled anyway. Life is an adventure anyway.
So for now till the end of this year i will just see see look look and pay attention to my studies for now. AND I got to start using the most powerful thing in my body. ..the brain. Dont think other stuff. Lolz.
So work......i have been working for like few months now. I worked b4 the holz. Actually in my point of view...people pay u for ur time....cuz that is the most valuable thing you got. Seriously time is more precious then gold. You will know what i mean when u dont have time to even eat. LOLZ. The point is that, that is the point. TIME. First, is it worth it tat you work for a company till 2 or 3 AM. And believe me nowadays most company are doing that...and they are not going to even pay you for OT.
I just wonder why we humans are getting busier by the day....arent technology suppose to ease our lives....it just make it harder. Furthermore, in my opinion, spare time is a necessity for each individual...why? Cuz with each spare time u dont use it for entertainment lar...use to ponder on where you are going. Is life what u imagine it to be...are u ok with who u are now? and so on? Cuz time flies like the speed of light not train ya. So when u are so immerse in work you will either lost ur way or die of some health problems. Why u see ppl 30 years old die....first they work too hard till they dont even feel their body has a problem. Second, they dont even have time to eat proper food. and thirdly you die like a bee, here let me explain. Insects die faster as they move so fast they burn out all their life span...where else a tortoise live long cuz well u know why.
So time is needed so u know what u are doing with ur life. You only got 100 years..thats 10 years for a great OAK tree. So see....i have seen many ppl who have woosh pass life and say "when did i end up here". And its pretty common....judging by the technology that some how "improve our lives"
Ok next topic. I believe that aliens are totally laughing at us by now. U notice that there are rare alien visit reports nowadays. Why? I think they should be saying " there is nothing here for us" "enough research, we are way better" "waste of time" "lets go"
Heres the think....for humans to evolve into aliens...that is a real giant leap. I believe they become aliens or reach that level bcuz they know how to think beyond us. That means they have reach this thinking that they can clearly define what is right and wrg. That is evolution. They have fully utilise their minds. As our minds is the greatest gift. I believe aliens are not evil at all...why? Cuz if they were...they early have wiped out their own species b4 they even build a spacecraft. See evil kills everything...there wont be much room left for anything really. Take for example, japan. They are practically killing their own kind, by forcing more efficient more effective more PERFECTION...how to achieve. Longer hours longer stress and sacrifice sex and life lor. Fair right....i find it perfectly reasonable. U see that they are progressing but in truth they are regressing. stas shows that if they keep this up, in the year 2010, 10million Japanese will be wiped out. They are making themselves extinct. The worst part is that they know it and they want to go on. As the jap gov persuade companies to let staffs go home early...but most company refuse. If that is not evil i dunno what is, this is dispicable, cuz u are making ur own kind suffer rather than killing them. Its worst than killing, they are sucking the life out of the ppl
It not how good the technology is...it is more on how well u control that technology. Not let it control you. We keep making the same old mistake. We create money...now it control us. Then "economy" now it control us again....then oil then now technology. Through out history we fail to control the thing we invent. And that is our downfall....we create more chains for ourselves. How stupid is that.
If we ever want to evolve we must learn from our mistakes. PERIOD.
So anyway...enough ranting...about my life. One word progressing, thankfully....and great. I said i am not going to bore my readers with nonsensical stuff.
