79-year-old Woman Gets 4 Years for Stabbings
Following the brutal stabbings of 2 women near the JR Shibuya Station late August, 79-year-old Hatsuko Kitagawa was sentenced to 4 year by the Tokyo District Court today. Kitagawa stabbed a woman in her 20s in the stomach with a fruit knife on Aug 22 and slashed another woman in her 20s several minutes later.

"Hatsuko Kitagawa committed an extremely heinous crime that caused people to harbor anxiety about safety at public locations," said Judge Yasuhiro Akiba in the decision. Judge Akiba said "the defendant lost her place to live and sleep and decided to commit a major crime in order to gain care from the police." The judge also said "Kitagawa assaulted victims who looked much happier than her".
