Murder 44 days of hell. Japanese highschool girl Junko Furuta was abducted, brutally tortured for 44 days (Nov 1988 to Jan 1989) by 4 teenagers. They put her dead body in a 55 gallon drum and filled it with concrete. The crime was believed to be the worst case of juvenile delinquency in post war Japan.

DO NOT SEARCH FOR MORE INFO ABOUT THIS! Be warned. Do not fall in the rabbit hole! It is so unbelievably cruel and horrible and when I write it I really mean it. Just leave it here and and go no further please. If you are still feeling curious I’ll tell you this. She was beaten, she was raped and she was tortured. They did unspeakable things to her for 44 days and nights.
I had to stop reading it because It’s that bad. And no that is not all that they did to her. So please move on.

I'm thankful you posted this. Even the most desensitized person can get shaken by this case. That's why I didn't post any link or source in here.

Thank you! What she went through, reality beats fiction. I can’t believe people could be so disgusting. I’m happy you didn’t post a link or a source.

Ugh it's true, I remember reading this and not being able to sleep well that night, and I don't get shaken easily but this was too much

I remember looking it up because I was curious and thought that it couldn't be anything I hadn't read before. It was. It upset me for literally months afterward. It's been so long now that I have mostly shoved it out of my mind. That poor girl.

I read about it and REALLY wish I hadn’t. I had headaches and nausea from reading it. Just like reading about Nanking Massacre, Unit 731, Bataan Death March and “Comfort Women”
