Mum Finds Macabre Use for Useless Mobile Phone Straps, Kills Son
You only have to take one look at this spent piece of used trash to know that nothing good can come out of her petrol eyes and twisted gesture. Kaoru Tomiishi is her name, and she has admitted that she killed her 6-year-old son with a mobile phone strap, probably the most inane and naff cheapo object of modern culture. She initially tried to cover it, but after the body was found thanks to the GPS inside the same mobile phone.
In her first declaration, Kaoru explained that her son Koki disappeared in the park:
I brought Koki to the park after he came back from school shortly after 3 p.m. He went missing while I was in a restroom that is about 20 meters away from large play equipment in the athletic playground area of the park.
The police conducted a search using the GPS in Koki’s mobile–which also has the strap that the police thinks is the crime weapon–finally finding the body, which the mother refused to see. After further questioning, she admitted she was the killer. [Mainichi and Yomiuri via Tokyomango]

I am disappointed by this post. I read Gizmodo for its quality content on what I am interested in – Gadgets & tech. I don’t come here to hear some guy vent about how much he despises someone. Yes I know she is a murderer, and she did a terrible thing. But I find the comment leaning almost towards being racist. “that nothing good can come out of her petrol eyes and twisted gesture” what is meant by petrol eyes?
True reporters on such tragedies stick to the facts and the news regarding such things. Not embellish them with their on feelings.
I can see the relevance of the post to gizmodo’s agenda of content. But I don’t see how commenting on your feelings towards a criminal is.
I’m getting really really tired of the volume of bullshit that appears on this site, from the endless fawning about every fart from apple no matter how insignificant to this kind of puerile grandstanding. Way to turn a reader off.
I don’t know what to make of the caption of this story.. Why so bitter and twisted ? It is truly unfortunate that a child has died in such a way, but this is the actions of someone whom is not in control of their faculties ( at all ).. Maybe you should look at the situation a little bit harder rather the voicing such a narrow view of life and the realities ( as sad as they are ) of it.
Just how the hell is this in any way relevant? Seriously, what the fuck guys? The caption is beyond insensitive. The whole post is an affront. why is it here?
