Man who stabbed to death ramen shop manager sentenced to 11 years in prison.

The sentencing hearing for defendant Shohei Fujii, 32, who was charged with murder for killing a male manager at a ramen shop in Ota City in October 2022, was held at Maebashi District Court on the 27th.

The presiding judge sentenced him to 11 years in prison, instead of the 15-year prison term requested by the prosecution.

It was determined that Fujii's delusion that the male manager and others had sexually assaulted a woman he believed to be in a relationship with, and his strong resentment, were "strongly influenced by schizophrenia."
