Police burst into man's home and discover nine severed heads in boxes
Warning: distressing content. A serial killer lured his vulnerable victims, including teenagers, to his apartment where he raped them before cutting up their bodies and storing them in coolers Police made a gruesome discovery after raiding a man's apartment where they came across the body parts of nine murdered people which had been stored in cooler boxes. They were tipped off by the brother of one of the victims who had alerted them after he found messages between the monster and his sister on social media. As well as eight female victims, the body of a male was also found. Authorities said cat litter had been used to mask the smell of the human remains which were stashed around Takahiro Shiraishi's home in Japan. It comes after an evil dad kills daughter, 5, for wetting herself and carries body parts around for months. The twisted murderer was arrested in 2017 at the apartment in Zama, Kanagawa Prefecture. Justice Minister Keisuke Suzuki said he had targeted "mentally fragile" women on Twitter, now known as X, who had expressed suicidal thoughts on the platform. This led to him being dubbed the Twitter Killer. He sickeningly offered to assist them with their wish to die and lured them to his apartment which was around 20 miles outside Tokyo. He then beat, strangled, killed, robbed, and mutilated them. Shiraishi also sexually abused his victims, three of whom were teenagers, aged between 15 and 26. One was the boyfriend of one of the slain girls, who he killed to silence and prevent authorities discovering his sick plot. He admitted murdering all nine victims and was sentenced to death in 2020. Jusice Minister Suzuki said he agreed to the execution 'after careful consideration' because the heinous crimes were committed to satisfy Shiraishi's "sexual and financial desires". In March 2025 Shiraishi, 34, was hanged at the Tokyo Detention House in what was Japan's first execution since 2022. News of the event wasn't released until afterwards. Prisoners are given just a few hours to no warning beforehand, while their families have none. Japan and the US are the only countries in the G7 that still use the death penalty and the decision to execute Shiraishi was condemned by the European Union.
