The Junko Furuta Case: Japan’s Most Disturbing Tragedy of Torture and Injustice. Content Warning.
On 25th November 1988 in Japan, 17-year-old Junko Furuta was kidnapped. She was brutally gang-raped and tortured for 40 days and then murdered on 4th January 1989. The monsters who did this were Hiroshi Miyano, Shinji Minato, Jo Ogura, and Yasushi Watanabe, who were all aged between 16 and 18 years old. Hiroshi and Shinji, despite being teenagers, were already serial rapists. On 25th November 1988, they were out looking for a victim and spotted Junko who was returning home from her part-time job. All of them went to the same high school. Previously, Hiroshi had confessed his feelings to Junko and she had rejected him politely. That night, he decided that their victim would be Junko as a way to take revenge for rejecting him. Hiroshi told Shinji to run away after kicking her off her bicycle and then he would swoop in to help her. Shinji did as he was told. As planned, Hiroshi then went up to her and helped her to her feet. He offered to walk her home and she accepted, not knowing what she was getting herself into. She got off her bicycle, and they started walking and talking. After some time, Hiroshi stopped following her directions and tried to take her into an abandoned warehouse that allegedly had ties with the Yakuza.
