The Neomugicha Bus Murder | 2 Minute Murder

A truly bizarre case, called in Japan as The Neomugicha incident (西鉄バスジャック事件 ) or Neomugicha Bus Murder. Very little is known about the full details of this event because it is protected under the Japanese Juvenile offenders act, which means the full details of the case and court documents will never be released to the public (although several court manuscripts have previously been leaked on file sharing sites. On May 4 a bus was hijacked by a user of internet forum 2channel a 17 year old named “Neomugicha” after placing a warning on the website that he was going to make history .The teen known as BOY A in the press because still considered a child, his identity is legally protected. BOY A suffered from what the Japanese call Hikikomori (meaning being inward and confined)are reclusive adolescents or adults who withdraw from social life, often seeking extreme degrees of isolation and confinement. Hikikomori refers to both the phenomenon in general and the recluses themselves. Described as loners or "modern-day hermits" Estimates reveal that nearly half a million Japanese youth have become social recluses. What is known, or at least been leaked in court transcripts, is that BOY A came to his parents, telling them he had fallen in love but the girl of his affections had been kidnapped and he needed money to pay the ransom to release her to him, feeling something was strange about the story and the ransom being a relatively low sum (10 000 Dollars) they questioned him further, when pushed the teen admitted he had fallen in love with a "Love Doll" and the money was actually to buy the doll who he believed was being held hostage at the sex doll factory and that he had been breaking in at night to see her. (The factory admitted to several unexplained break in’s) but had failed to call the police because nothing was taken or damaged and they thought it a vagrant coming in to get warm. When his father ridiculed the boy and told him he was a looser and he would disown him for such craziness of having relations with a love doll, the teen went on 2CHANNEL a popular underground Asian chat forum and warned people on the forum that he was going to make history. When they mocked him further, he hyjacked a bus. An hour after posting a cryptic threat in a thread with the name "Neomugicha" the 17-year-old hijacked a bus "the Wakakusu" in Dazaifu, Fukuoka, Japan with a Gyuto knife ( a well known large razor like cutting knife used by Chef’s), cutting off one of the passengers head's (a 68 year old woman travelling with her daughter) when he felt police and passengers were laughing at him, while attempting to kill two other passengers and the Special Assault Team finally stormed the hijacked bus and captured the youth alive even though he stabbed two members, they had wanted to take the bus sooner but BOY A spent the whole journey sitting next to a 4 year old girl with his knife held to her throat. Japanese Swat team stormed the bus when the teen temporarily moved away from the young girl. Footage of the crime caught on various news camera's as four different Japanese stations were covering it like (similar to the O.J Simpson chase) in footage the boy was filmed smelling the blade after cutting off his victims head. The incident came as a shock to both 2channers who streamed the final hours of the siege, they had mocked Neomugicha as a liar, thinking he was posting about an attack that had already occurred, and to the general public and his love for a rubber lover! The lovestruck teen was only given four years in a Japanese child rehabilitation centre which is literally like a summer camp and Boy A is now out on the streets protected from the facts that is truly one of the strangest in a country that has its fare share of oddities! This story reminds me of Al Pacino film “Dod Day Afternoon” based on the true story of John Wojtowicz a guy who robs a bank and takes hostages to fund his lovers sex change. On a side note BOY A is rumoured to be a well known Japanese youtuber making a healthy salary playing video games for a living. Probably can afford as many sex dolls as he wants.
