The American naval sailor, who killed a Japanese woman in January , was sentenced to life imprisonment. Such a verdict was issued on Friday by the district court of the Japanese port city of Yokosuk, located near the Tokyo Tokyo, where the US Navy Kitty Hawk, which served as a criminal, is constantly based.
Having announced the verdict, the judge emphasized that the crime was committed with particular cruelty and that the killer had “selfishness and selfishness have no boundaries, and how he does not value human life, simply terrifies.”
The murder of 56-year-old Josie Sato was committed in Yokosuke on the night of January 3. The investigation found that 22-year-old William Reese tried to pull out a bag from a woman’s street and pushed her into the nearest building, where he animatedly beaten for 10 minutes.
During interrogations, the sailor showed that he needed money for a drink. 15 thousand yen (about 130 dollars) were stolen from the purse of the Japanese woman who died from the loss of blood as a result of damage to the internal organs. The offender managed to find the camcorder of surveillance.
The American command and the US Embassy in Japan immediately made a series of repentant statements, and the offender was issued to the Japanese authorities in a matter of days.
Observers are convinced that this is explained, first of all, the desire of the United States to prevent the tragedy led to the activation of protests in Japan against the American military presence in conditions where Washington and Tokyo are discussing plans for its reorganization. This disagrees in the population of a number of regions of the country and will cost Japan in the amounts calculated by many billions of dollars.
