NAGASAKI The first-year high school student arrested for allegedly killing and dismembering her classmate in Sasebo, Nagasaki Prefecture, told her stepmother about her desire to kill someone a few days before the grisly slaying last month, and her parents then attempted to admit her in a psychiatric ward but failed, her father revealed Monday through a lawyer.
On July 23, the girl with a serious look on her face told her mother she found it fun to kill cats, and then said she wanted to kill a person.
According to the document, the mother told the psychiatrist about the girls homicide wish on July 23, but the specialist terminated the session by saying, We dont have time today.
The father said that the doctor lacked a sense of urgency.
The day before the July 26 killing of 15-year-old Aiwa Matsuo in the suspects apartment, the suspects parents visited the psychiatric ward and asked if that hospital or another institution could admit her. The request was not granted after the doctor said she would have to be assigned an individual room and other hospitals would find it difficult to meet that requirement, according to the father.
She was arrested July 27 after the classmates mutilated body was found in the condo.

(16,386 posts)Most go through life without murdering but it's not their conscience that stops them because they have no conscience. There's just something not wired correctly in their brains. I also believe they can't be cured.
i think we are all born the way we are.

It's not either or.
There are both genetic and environmental factors that can affect who we are.
My feeling is that genetic influences are not very flexible and can override environmental effects but the environment can still flavor the way the genetic tendencies express themselves.

A 16-year-old Japanese schoolgirl who allegedly confessed to decapitating a classmate kept a severed cat head in her refrigerator, a report said Tuesday.
The teen was arrested last week on suspicion of murdering fellow student Aiwa Matsuo, 15, after police discovered her dismembered body on a bed in the suspects home in the western Japanese city of Sasebo.
The grisly case has attracted major media attention in a country with one of the worlds lowest crime rates, as commentators search for answers to explain the teenagers pattern of increasingly violent behavior.
Some reports have suggested the parents of the girlwho wasnt named because she is a minordesperately sought to have her hospitalized but were rebuffed.
