Secrecy of Japanese executions
Sweet...keep them terrified for years
From BBC News...
Noboru Ikemoto, a pensioner who had been convicted of killing three people, probably did not have any idea that his evening meal on Thursday was to be his last.
Seiha Fujima, convicted of killing five people while in his early 20s, will also not have known he was about to be taken to the gallows.
Nor would Hiroki Fukawa, a convicted double killer.
Japan does not tell death row prisoners that they are to be hanged until the last possible minute.
This has been condemned by the international community.
