「この先、生きて必ず償えると確信している」「慧大(けいた)さん、あなたは本当は優しい子」。強盗殺人などの罪に問われた被告の裁判でそんな言葉をかけたのは、事件で夫を殺害された女性だった。法廷で何も語っていない被告は黙って涙を流した。

富山市で2018年、交番を襲い、警察官ら2人を殺害したなどとして強盗殺人の罪に問われた元自衛官、島津慧大被告(30)に対する差し戻しの裁判員裁判が10日、富山地裁(結城真一郎裁判長)であった。殺害された警備員・中村信一さん(当時68)の妻が、弁護側・検察側双方の証人として出廷した。

弁護側の尋問では、25年7月に再開した被告との面会や、手紙のやりとりの内容を明かした。現在の被告について「私と向き合うことはつらいと思う。それを続け、罪をどう償うのかという思いに押し潰されそうになっていると思う」。望む刑罰を問われると「生きて苦しんで、考えて事件と向き合って生涯を終えて。それが私と(夫の)信ちゃんの望む極刑です」と証言した。

事件直後は死刑を望んでいた。
