=== Third Case ===

On ~~March~~ 24th, 1997, Azuma lured 11 year-old schoolboy '''Jun Hase''' (土師淳) to the nearby hills and strangled him to death. He returned the next day and decapitated and mutilated Hase with a hand saw. He then discarded the head in a plastic bag and took the head back home and cleaned it thoroughly. Two days later he placed the bag outside Hase's school, alongside a note he left in the victim's mouth. According to mental evaluation reports after Azuma was arrested, Azuma had ejaculated the body and drank blood from the victim's body.

On June 4th, 1997, the local newspaper company Kobe Shimbun received a letter from somebody called '''Seito Sakakibara''', who claimed to be responsible for the death of Jun Hase. He also threatened to kill at least three more children within the next few months. This resulted in a local panic and also the misprint of Seito Sakakibara's name on the newspapers. This angered Azuma which caused him to send two more letters and threatened to kill even more children if there was another mistake.

In 2000, Japan lowered the age for criminal responsibility from 16 to 14. However, due to another murder case where a 11-year-old murdered her 12-year-old classmate in 2004, there has been some discussion for the need for further revision

== Autobiography ==

In 2015, 32-year old Shinichiro released an autobiography in which he claimed to express regret for his crimes and recounted the murders in graphic detail. Despite the victims' families attempt to block the release of the block, it reached the top of Japanese bestseller lists in a short period of time.
