鹿児島県・徳之島の伊仙町で2024年11月、保育士の女性=当時(55)=を殺害したとして、殺人などの罪に問われた元高校生の男(19)の裁判員裁判判決が9日、鹿児島地裁であった。小泉満理子裁判長は「結果は重大で、動機・経緯、計画性などから非常に悪質と言わざるを得ない」として懲役18年(求刑懲役22年)を言い渡した。
男は女性と面識はなく、動機について「女性宅から聞こえる物音が自分への嫌がらせだと感じた」などと主張。弁護側は、被告の発達障害が影響しており保護処分が相当だとして家裁への移送を求めていたが、小泉裁判長は、障害や家庭環境に同情の余地がないわけではないが、影響は限定的だと指摘。「保護処分が許容されるような特段の事情があるとは認められない」と退けた。
