About this episode

This episode explores the case of a modern-day murderer in Japan known as 'The Wednesday Strangler'.

In previous episodes, we have explored cases in which alleged serial killers were never identified, nor convicted of the horrific crimes they were believed to have committed. The same would prove true in the case of a modern-day murderer thought to have been responsible for the deaths of at least seven female victims in rural Japan. A killer whose disturbing and highly distinctive methods would ultimately earn him the chilling nickname, ‘The Wednesday Strangler’.
