Junko Furuta : The Girl Who Went Through 44 Days Of Torture

I was horrified when I read this article about a girl from Japan, Junko Furuta, who was abducted by four teenage boys and tortured her to death 23 years back in November 1988.

There are blogs, facebook pages and tweets about her story.

Murder of Junko Furuta

"A high-school girl [junko furuta] was abducted by four teen aged hooligans while she was on her way to work. They took her to the house of a friend, held her in his bedroom, and for the next forty-five days enacted every imaginable form of abuse on her (and some you wouldn't want to imagine). They gang-raped her—both with their own bodies and with an assortment of foreign objects—beat her, kicked her, doused her extremities with lighter fluid and set her on fire, and probably did many other things to her that went undocumented by either her tormentors or the police. They mocked her pain. They held her down and dropped barbells on her stomach. This last bit of torture was more than she could withstand, and after going into convulsions she apparently either strangled on her own vomit or simply died from her beatings. When the boys were questioned later about why they didn't do anything during her seizure, they replied, “We assumed she was faking it.”
"She tried to escape, more than once. The first time, she was caught in the process of making a phone call. The second time, she ran into the parents of the boy who lived there; apparently they had known all along what was gong on. She begged them to help her, but they refused; his friend had criminal connections, and they didn't want to get into trouble, too. After her death, they taped her arms and legs together, threw her into a 55-gallon drum, filled it with cement, and dumped it in an empty lot. The body wasn't recovered until almost a year later. The ringleader of the whole incident served eight years in prison and is now a free man."
