    Black Files: Poison from the Fields — three killings with farm chemicals
    2026/10/23
    In postwar Japan, some of the deadliest substances in the country weren't kept in laboratories. They sat in sheds and storerooms and on the shelves of agricultural supply stores. They were insecticides and weed killers, made to protect crops, and they could be bought or brought home without much trouble. Tonight's Black Files covers three cases where those chemicals were turned on people. We begin in Kumamoto City in late 1960. Sadame Sugimura was deep in debt, and the pesticide parathion came into her home through her partner's delivery work. Within about two months she had poisoned four women she knew, through food and drink. Three of them died. A few months later, in March 1961, about twenty women met at a community center in a mountain village in Mie Prefecture. Someone had laced the wine with an agricultural insecticide, and five women died. One man confessed, took the confession back, and died on death row still insisting he was innocent. More than sixty years later, his family is still asking for a retrial. Finally, 1985. Across western Japan, someone left bottles laced with paraquat near vending machines for strangers to find. At least thirteen people died. No one has ever been identified. It started with neighbors, then a whole village meeting, and ended with complete strangers. All three cases used poison bought for the fields. In this compilation: • Episode 105: Sadame Sugimura Serial Poisonings • Episode 107: Nabari Poisoned Wine Case • Episode 89: Paraquat Murders

  • Black Files: Meiji and Taisho — five killings from Japan's first modern decades

    Black Files: Meiji and Taisho — five killings from Japan's first modern decades
    2026/10/16
    The Meiji Restoration remade Japan almost overnight. Within a single generation the samurai class was gone, the cities filled with gas lamps and brick, and a new national police force was formed. It was still learning how to catch a killer. Tonight's Black Files goes back before the Showa era, to five cases from Japan's first modern decades. We begin in 1880s Tokyo with Sadakichi Shimizu, a masseur who robbed the homes of his own clients. He carried a Western revolver, and he is believed to have killed five or six people before a young patrolman stopped him. Then a mountain village in Nagano, 1905. On festival nights over two years, six people were killed. The man responsible was a trusted neighbor nobody suspected. Next comes Tokichi Ishii, a lifelong robber who heard that an innocent man was about to hang for a murder Ishii had committed. So he confessed. Then Sataro Fukiage. He killed a child in Kyoto at seventeen and spent sixteen years in prison, where he taught himself to read. Within about a year of his release, he was killing again. And finally the autumn of 1923. Tokyo lay in ruins after the Great Kanto Earthquake, and a military police officer killed two famous radicals and a six-year-old boy. He was sentenced to ten years and was released after about three. A new nation, with new laws. The old dangers hadn't gone anywhere. In this compilation: • Episode 98: Sadakichi Shimizu Meiji Murders • Episode 100: Katsutaro Baba • Episode 103: Tokichi Ishii • Episode 67: Sataro Fukiage Serial Killings • Episode 92: Amakasu Incident
