Kanae Kijima height - How tall is Kanae Kijima?

Since 2019, Kanae Kijima is incarcerated in Tokyo Detention House's death row.

Kijima married in prison after the appeallate court's decision, and had her last name changed in 2016. The Supreme Court, headed by judge Yoshinobu Onuki, decided to have the first opening session on February 10, 2017.

On April 14, 2017, the Supreme Court Judge Yoshinobu Onuki said, "The killings are intentional and extremely malicious. The defendant has irrational excuses and shows no remorse. Thus, the death penalty is unavoidable." With this, her death sentence was officially confirmed.

On May 9th, the Supreme Court dismissed allegations of prejudice against Kijima. She is the 15th woman to be condemned to death in the post-war period, and the first to be convicted by a lay judge.

The Tokyo High Court of Appeals also upheld the death sentence, and on March 12, 2014, dismissed Kijima's appeal. On that same day, she decided to appeal to the Supreme Court.

The judicial procedures began on January 5, 2012; the first trial on January 10th; Judgment Day on April 13th, with the lay judge trial lasting 100 days.

By January 2010, Kijima had been rearrested for seven charges of fraud, while police simultaneously continued carefully investigating the suspicious deaths. On February 22nd, she was indicted for murder. It was for the murder of 53-year-old Takao Terada in Ōme, as recounted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. However, his death at the time was considered a suicide and was not given an autopsy, resulting in a very unusual murder charge, despite the lack of evidence for the cause of death.

On August 6, 2009, 41-year-old Yoshiyuki Oide, from Tokyo, was discovered dead in his car, parked at a parking lot in Fujimi, Saitama. The cause of death was determined to be carbon monoxide poisoning using a yeontan, but the supposed suicide had several inconsistencies, because of which an investigation was launched by the Saitama Prefectural Police.

Kanae Kijima (木嶋 佳苗 , Kijima Kanae, born November 27, 1974) , known as The Konkatsu Killer, is Japanese fraudster and serial killer, convicted for poisoning three would-be husbands and suspected of four more, spanning from 2007 to 2009.

As a result, they arrived at the doorstep of 34-year-old unemployed woman Kanae Kijima, who was dating Oide. It turned out that she had had several previous lovers, most of whom had died under questionable circumstances. The police determined that Kijima had been fraudulently posing as a bride, and on September 25th, she was arrested for fraud. She had also received 4.5 million yen from a 40-year-old Chiba man, who was living with her at the time of the arrest.

On said date, the defense court argued that "the men may have committed suicide" at an oral hearing. This was not supported by any facts, and the prosecutor dismantled, contributing to the dismissal of the appeal. On February 22nd, the judgment date was set for April 14th.
