A hikikomori has brutally attempted to murder his entire family of 5, attacking them with a kitchen knife and successfully stabbing to death his father and a 1-year-old baby girl, and seriously wounding the others, after which he burnt down the family home.
The cause of this rampage was the family cancelling his Internet access after he became massively indebted using his father’s credit card.
The incident began one night when the 30-year-old unemployed hikikomori, who lived together with his family in Aichi prefecture as a recluse, found someone had cancelled his Internet access.
He stormed through the house with a flashlight and beat his sleeping 58-year-old mother into wakefulness, demanding to know who had cancelled the contact – his father had apparently terminated his Internet access after he amassed some $30,000 in debt from buying games and other items in online auctions whilst using his father’s credit card.
Enraged, the hikikomori grabbed a knife from the kitchen and began methodically stabbing to death the 5 family members at the home, first returning to his mother’s bed where he stabbed his mother 10 times in the neck and flank, after which he turned on her 1-year-old granddaughter who was sleeping next to her, fatally stabbing her 3 times.
After this he set about the rest of his sleeping family, killing his 58-year-old father with 4 strikes to his neck and thighs, stabbing his 22-year-old younger brother 10 times in the neck and abdomen, and viciously stabbing his brother’s 27-year-old wife, the mother of the slain baby, 17 times in the face and flank. His brother’s injuries were minor, whilst those of his sister-in-law were grave.
Of his victims, only his father and the baby died. Another member of the family, a 24-year-old brother, escaped the massacre as he was away at the time.
After had finished stabbing his family, he returned to his room, took a lighter and set fire to his futon, with the intent of burning the house to the ground.
Police discovered him nearby, standing in the rain and dripping with the blood of his victims, whilst flames poured from the windows of his burning home. He was arrested and charged with attempted murder on the spot, later elevated to murder.
Witnesses described a scene of carnage outside the burning house, with neighbours frantically trying to save his blood soaked victims.
Reportedly he had lost control on previous occasions, with no less than 9 incidences of domestic disturbance reported to police. His family reported “he’d calm down after police came.”
A neighbour described not having seen him since he graduated from school 15 years ago – “After he graduated those 15 years ago, I never set eyes on him again.”

Useless piece of shit. Won't do anything for anyone else, will just leach.
Punishment? Close him in some small room with just knife and open after couple of months.
I'm pretty sure this is due to his parents failing to respond to escalating mental health issues, possibly nipping the problem in the bud before he reached 18.
I know this is 4-ch and we're supposed to snark and mock, but this time-- this time, I got nothing.
I read this, and it makes me sad.
Maybe I'm getting too old for this.
Probably been hardcore bullied during highschool.
remember in japan you have to study literally all your youth.
first, kindergarden where most 'talented' students start to learn kanji, then exams to school.
studying in japanese school is like memorizing encyclopedia. add to this hardcore science course, 1945 kanji and you get this.
in japan second-rate university means second-rate life. so kids are being told to study really hard from the beginning.
i bet graduating from good japanese school is harder than graduating from harvard or oxford. take japanese history course for example. while normal countries have some kind of democracy, in japan, history was permanent revolution. hardcore fightings between rival clans, have to remember this shit too (answer like "they fought all the time until americans nuked them" wont get you good mark (not because of enola gay)
so his case is probably like this:
wanted to enroll into todai or waseda really hard, but failed, enrolled into shitty second rate university, and because of his vanity simply stopped attending classes. became hikky.
which is really strange considering his japanese passport. millions of people would die simply to get what he got from the birth. ha ha
I agree that Japanese high schools are tough. They push students too much and many turn to suicide, hikikomori and other disturbing behaviours.
But Japanese universities are not hard. The hard part is getting in. Once there it's easy as pie. It is almost impossible to fail. I am currently attending one of Japans top universities as an exchange student and it's way easier than at home.
That said I'm not sure what it would be like if you were studying Medicine or law. I am at a liberal arts school.
>I am at a liberal arts school.
Err...

What the fuck? This is utterly disgusting. Hopefully, this man will get the death penalty.
But... Shit, $30K in debts? And his family let him go that high?
Shakes head He needs to die. He contributes nothing, and the only way to properly handle him is to hang him. That way, they won't waste any more on his execution.
lol What a retard.
I'm pretty sure that if I ever had those kind of reactions I'd be taken to a mental hospital immediatly. I wonder why Japanese families don't act over it, even after several years. He obviously wasn't in a good mental state; even for a hikikomori.
