Woman admits in court she forced neighbour to sew up her mouth with a needle

In Japan, 50-year-old Masae Sakurai pleaded guilty to bullying a 42-year-old neighbor who was forced to sew her mouth with a needle and thread. The cause of the conflict was products that the victim took without permission. This is reported by Japan Today.

The incident occurred in Koga, Ibaraki Prefecture. According to investigators, Sakurai was unhappy that the woman who lived with her ate her products, although she did not work. The accused told the neighbor that someone who does not work should not eat, and demanded to punish himself.

The victim said that Sakurai threatened to sew her mouth, warning that in this case the pain will be twice as strong. Frightened, the woman fulfilled the request.

The case materials say that the victim repeatedly pierced the tissues around the mouth with a needle, passing the thread through the inner surface. Because of this, the traces were practically not visible from the outside.

Sakurai initially denied the charges, but pleaded guilty at the first hearing. The prosecutor's office presented the recordings of surveillance cameras installed in the defendant's house. The defense did not dispute the charges or object to the use of the video footage as evidence.

The victim managed to escape while Sakurai was away from home. Wearing a white medical mask, the woman made her way to a nearby store and handed the employee a note asking for help.

She later explained to police that she had been hesitant to flee because of a strong fear of her neighbor. According to reports, there is no threat to the life of the victim.
