=== Third Case ===
On March 24<sup>th</sup>, 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 4<sup>th</sup>, 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.
