Japanese 'Twitter killer Takahiro Shiraishi has been sentenced to death, in a high-profile case that has shocked Japan.
The 30-year-old had admitted to murdering and dismembering 9 of his victims - almost all of whom were young women he met on the social media platform.
Shiraishi used Twitter to lure suicidal women to his home, saying he could help them die and, in some cases, claimed he would kill himself alongside them.
He strangled and dismembered eight women and one man aged 15 to 26 between August and October 2017, said Japan's Kyodo news agency, citing the indictment.
The serial killings first came to light on Halloween that year when police found dismembered body parts in Shiraishi's flat in the Japanese city of Zama, near Tokyo, while they were searching for a missing 23-year-old woman, who turned out to be one of the victims.
After she had gone missing, her brother accessed her Twitter account and alerted police to a suspicious handle, leading them to Shiraishi's residence on the morning of 31 October in 2017.
Japanese media called it the house of horrors after investigators discovered nine heads along with a large number of arm and leg bones stashed in coolers and tool boxes.
While prosecutors sought the death penalty for Shiraishi, his lawyers argued he was guilty of the lesser charge of murder with consent, claiming his victims had given their permission to be killed.
Shiraishi later disputed his own defence team's version of events, and said he killed without their consent.
On Tuesday, Judge Naokuni Yano, who delivered the verdict, called the crimes cunning and cruel, and found the defendant fully responsible for his actions.
None of the nine victims consented to be killed, including silent consent, public broadcaster NHK quoted the judge as saying. * +

Take care of your mental health during COVID and refrain from killing and dismembering people, if possible. * +
