The “Tottori Consecutive Abnormal Death Incident” that caused a sensation in Japan by causing 6 men’s bizarre and sudden deaths, the suspect Miyuki Ueda was shocked to say that she died in a cell yesterday (14) because she choked on food and died at the age of 49. The news of her sudden death not only shocked people from all walks of life, but also brought her crimes under the sun once again.
According to comprehensive Japanese media reports, the Correctional Bureau of the Ministry of Justice of Japan stated that the staff of the Hiroshima Detention Center suddenly heard strange noises coming from Miyuki Ueda’s cell at 4:00 p.m. that day. An emergency call was made within 8 minutes, but Miyuki Ueda was still declared dead after being sent to the hospital. It is reported that Ueda Miyuki, who suffers from high blood pressure, heart disease, insomnia and takes medicine for treatment, was sent to the hospital for choking on the 10th of the same month. The hospital confirmed that she was fine and returned to the detention center on the same day.
Miyuki Ueda, who used to be the owner of a snack bar, killed security guards, drivers, electrical shop owners, hotel employees, journalists and even criminal police from 2004 to 2009, and was dubbed a “legendary temptress.” Although she is not outstanding in appearance, it is said that she “has been dealing with men all her life” before she was arrested. The six deceased either lived with her, communicated with her, or had close contacts with her.
At first, Miyuki Ueda was not suspected of murder. It was not until the Tottori police discovered that something was wrong and investigated the drowning case of a truck driver and an electrical shop owner in 2009. They were surprised that the two deceased were drugged and pushed into a river or sea to drown. The police Further searches revealed that Miyuki Ueda was involved in 4 other bizarre deaths, but because “the autopsy was not performed on the deceased at that time”, the case could only be closed by accident or suicide. In 2017, the court sentenced Miyuki Ueda who “claimed that no two people were killed” death penalty.
In addition, this is not the first accident in Japan where a death row inmate choked to death in prison. The last case was the 90-year-old death row prisoner Takeshige Hamada who “choked to death on vomit” in 2017. In 1978 and 1979, he conspired with his wife to murder a 16-year-old stepson, a 28-year-old relative and a 37-year-old man in order to fraudulently collect 11 million yen in insurance money. He was sentenced to death but has not been executed.
