On June 1, 2004, an 11-year-old Japanese schoolgirl, whose real name was never disclosed due to her young age, brutally murdered her classmate, Satomi Mitarai, in an empty classroom during lunch by slashing her throat and arms with a box cutter. She then abandoned Satomi’s body and returned to her classroom, her clothes soaked in blood. The girls’ teacher, who had noticed that both were missing, came across the body and immediately called police. After being taken into custody, the girl reportedly broke down and repeatedly said, ‘’I am sorry, I am sorry’’ to police. Initially, she refused to reveal what the motive for the murder was, but eventually confessed that Satomi had slandered her, making remarks on her weight and calling her a ‘’goody goody’’.
