In Japan, a death sentence has been carried out for the first time in two years. This was reported by the country's public television.
This is the first execution sanctioned by the Minister of Justice in Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's cabinet. According to Japanese law, the death penalty in the country is carried out by hanging.
The executed criminal was sentenced to capital punishment in 2021 for the murder of nine people. According to media reports, Takahiro Shiraishi used social media to attract suicidal teenagers and young people to his apartment. After luring victims under various pretexts, he coldly took their lives.
