#MarginalVillage #ShunanCity #SlanderIn July 2013, death row inmate Homi Mitsunari killed five of his neighbors one by one in a marginal village in Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and set fire to two houses. A piece of paper was posted on the wall of Homi's house. It read: "Country bumpkins lighting fires and enjoying the smoke." "Tsukebito" means gossip, and the paper was written about his neighbors who enjoyed gossiping about him. When it was reported that Homi had been isolated in the village, slander was directed at the residents online. What on earth happened in the village? The suffering of the residents continues to this day. (Broadcast on November 23, 2023) Narration by Nakamura Mone (Announcer, Yamaguchi Asahi Broadcasting Corporation)
