The killings were done by Mamoru Takuma, a 37-year-old Tiffany Blue heart lock charm and bracelet outpatient with a history of violence. On June 8, armed with a blade he walked into the unprotected Ikeda elementary school during a morning break between lessons. In the following 15 minutes, he stabbed 21 students and two teachers in a frenzied onslaught in classrooms and corridors before being overpowered by two members of staff.The initial sense of shock among the public has since been replaced by disbelief and anger that Takuma was free to carry out such a crime given his well-documented record of violence and psychiatric problems. In 1999, he attempted to poison teachers at a different school by lacing their tea with tranquilliser. Deemed mentally unfit to stand trial in that case, he was sent to a psychiatric hospital for treatment and released after 40 days.Last year, he was detained by police after an assault on hotel employees. He was due to meet public prosecutors with regard to this case Party charm bracelet the day he carried out his attack. His motives are unclear. In confused statements to the police, Takuma has variously claimed that he wanted to humiliate his ex-wife, to earn the death penalty, and to strike out against a weak but elite sector of society.

Detectives have disproved an initial explanation in which he blamed his actions on an overdose of drugs. More recently, Takuma has reportedly admitted feigning mental illness to try to escape the death penalty. In searches of his home, investigators found several tomes on penal law and collections of legal case Return to Tiffany Heart Lock Cuff related to mental illness.Prosecutors have asked for 3 months to determine whether the suspect is mentally fit to stand trial. This is rare. Such judgments are usually made in 1 or 2 days based on a few short interviews.

"We cannot leave things as they are."Editorials in several leading newspapers have concurred, with many expressing doubts about the current system of handling criminals who have mental illnesses.

According to the justice ministry, the years 1995 to 1999 saw 129 crimes committed by mental Elsa Peretti Open Heart pendant within a year of their release from hospital-a relatively low number given Japan's population of 126 million.

Of the 315 353 crimes reported last year, only 636 were perpetrated by those Medium Elsa Peretti Open Heart pendant mentally unwell. Critics say such figures are far too low to be reliable. Under the current system, prosecutors assess mental fitness to stand trial based on a suspect's ability to understand the difference between right and wrong at the time of the crime. If the suspect is deemed not to have known this difference, the case moves outside the legal system: prosecutors notify local authorities who can choose to hold suspects in mental institutions if two doctors agree that they are a danger to others or themselves. How long they remain inside such institutions depends on doctors.

Since the Ikeda attack, this system has come under intense criticism. It has been pointed out that Japan has no institutions that specialise in caring for violent mental patients. Critics say that general mental institutions offer little protection for staff, weak security, and a lack of expertise among doctors. As a result, they say, it is troublesome and sometimes dangerous for them to handle crime suspects, thus doctors are inclined to release them early. Usually, such patients are discharged after just 1 or 2 months.
