Tomoko Mori's Killer Took Pictures Of Death

Investigators at suspect's apartment

A 19-year-old female student of Nagoya University who confessed to killing a 77-year-old woman, Tomoko Mori, last month has told police that she felt fulfilled after the killing.

Japan Times reports that the student (name must be withheld - accused under 20) was arrested on Tuesday for killing Mori with a hatchet on the 7th of December, 2014.

The Aichi Prefectural Police on Friday said the student used her phone to take pictures of the victim's corpse.  Investigators discovered the pictures in a secret data file on the phone needing a code to unlock.

During investigations, police found Mori’s body in the student's house in Showa Ku, a ward here in Nagoya.

The suspect told investigators that she felt 'fulfilled' after killing Mori because she had owned the hatchet since she was in Junior Secondary School and had always wanted to kill someone.

She also revealed that she had once poisoned her classmates while studying at a private high school in Miyagi Prefecture.

The victim did not die but lost his sight permanently.

Investigations have revealed that Mori met her killer at a religious gathering on the same day she was murdered.

According to a member of the religious group, the student left the venue with Mori who was trying to persuade her to join them.

The suspect however told police that she was annoyed by the deceased who tried to convert her.

Investigations led officers to her apartment where they found the deceased’s corpse.
