In October 2024, a university student, Tomoya Hase, was assaulted by a group and died in Ebetsu City. The woman charged with “robbery leading to death” and other crimes is Yone Kawamura.

The incident was reportedly triggered by a relationship dispute between Hase and Kawamura’s friend, Ama Yagihara.

Why did the assault continue for such an extended period? For the first time, Kawamura answered questions from the press.

“When the assault started, I should have stopped, but I couldn’t because I was afraid of what might happen to me,” she explained.

She also expressed remorse: “I’m sorry for causing trouble to my parents.”
