let me take a deep breath i’m a little nervous
today i don’t know why well
excuse me bailey
you know why i get nervous before i film sometimes
well a lot of the times because
i mean i’ve been doing this for a while
right and it’s like you
think by now i
wouldn’t get nervous but i still do
i mean have you ever
tried filming a video
seriously have you ever tried it
it’s awkward as hell you’re staring at a camera
you’re alone in a room
and you’re pretending to talk to everybody
but there’s nobody around
except for you
and your makeup brushes
okay if you are new here hi my name is bailey syrian
and on mondays i sit down and i talk about a true crime
story that’s been heavy on my
not again and i do my makeup at the same time
if you’re interested in true crime and you like makeup
i would highly suggest you hit that subscribe button
cause i’m here for you on mondays
warning today’s story contains
graphic descriptions of crime scenes
adult dialogue and strong language
viewer discretion is advised
so it’s been a while you guys it’s been a while since
i’ve talked about a cannibal
if you’re squeamish
a vegetarian
or maybe you just ate
maybe skip this one come back to it
because today baby girl lisa we are talking
about a cannibal you
guessed it because i said it eighteen times by now
on top of him being a cannibal
what makes his
story even worse is the fact that
this guy is not even in jail
nope he’s roman out free
free is a little bird i mean
yeah for sure he
definitely went to jail for like a whole minute
but then they let him go and you’re
probably wondering like bailey will if he’s a cannibal
why is he out walking free i know that’s why we’re here
today i don’t know what to say cannibals
can’t live with them
we could live without them actually but
other than that i will stop rambling and let’s get into
today’s story so
ise sagawa have you
heard of him
yeah you have oh my bad
sorry about that well if you
haven’t this guy was a
total dork he was born on
april 26 1949 so he’s a taurus
you know how for the most part
most of these killers and
these bad people
their upbringing is like so
awful so so horrible
and it kind of
i don’t want to say it makes
sense as to why they turned out the way
they did but it kind of does you know what i’m saying
but you say is that opposite
person where it’s like
how how how
how i don’t know so
ise he was born into a wealthy
a wealthy family
a very well off family they were living in
japan very traditional
but very loving that’s
great for him
his father was very
successful he was a businessman
he was like president of
a water industries
and he made a lot of
money and he was doing very
well okay also
he says grandfather
he was an editor for one of the
major newspapers in
japan and his
mother he says
mother she took care of the family she was like the
stay at home mom so they’re just they’re doing great
financially that
doesn’t mean
everything else is
great but you know when ise’s
mother was pregnant with him
she actually fell down
like a flight of
stairs and she almost
miscarried ise
and it was said that he was born prematurely
and like he was so
small he could fit into the palm of his father’s hand
he had a younger brother who was born
two years after him
but they were very
close and they almost
raised them like twins
when ise was a baby
he developed enteritis
which is a disease of the
small intestine
and to treat this the doctors
would inject potassium
and calcium into his body
which led to ece
eventually recovering
but the downside
was that the disease was leaving him very
frail and just
sickly looking
which made him feel
very insecure
it was said because of this
ise was more
of an introvert
he was a bit of a loner in
school he didn’t really have like
any friends but he
absolutely loved
school especially
literature because it was a way for him to
escape the world that he was in and
going like these
grand adventures and his imagination
you know where like he just wasn’t
he wasn’t the
small little guy or
he wasn’t the weak
sickly guide
he could be
the hero of the story
using his imagination so
he loved reading
he loved books stories
literature like i said because of this he
would end up getting his master’s degree
in english literature
ysei would say that from a
young age he noticed
that something within himself
from a very early age
was going on
like something was different
ise would in a
later interview
would say that
when growing up his
uncle would come over to the
house and they
would play a game
where like his
uncle would
dress up as a
scary boy eating
giant and he would
chase the kids around the
house pretending he was gonna
put them in a big pot and cook them
and then eat them
which okay sure you know fine
but where this
story goes it’s like oh shit
you know but okay
great game but the
uncle would
chase issei and his brother around and then his father
would rescue them and it was just all
fun and games there was like nothing no bad shenanigans
going on but e say
would say like
this game it was more than a game for him it was like
this awakening
he remembers
having like a mixture of terror
and excitement
while playing this game
i mean it was thrilling to him
e say would say that this just was one of
those moments that
just stuck in his life you know
and he would say that at that very moment
that’s when he just really became
fascinated with stories and
fairy tales
about monsters and dragons
especially when they involved eating people so
with that being said of course
hansel and gretel
was one of his favorites
i don’t remember
hansel and gretel to be
quite honest with you i remember they
lived in a candy
house but they get eaten
it’s been so long did they get eaten
that’s a little fucked up what was that all
about we read that as kids
are we okay
ysey and his
brother said that they grew up in a very tame
home a very loving home a very normal
home um one
thing though the family
never talked
about sex sex was just something nobody
talked about okay
so this thing happened
um when e say
got his first
boner his first bonner
he at first said that
he thought he was seriously ill he’s like oh my god
something’s
wrong with me
like this isn’t normal like he
freaked out he didn’t know
what was going on
and you know
there’s no internet
or anything back then so what do you do
again since he has no sex education
he doesn’t know
that you can
fiddle your diddle you know i’m saying so
he doesn’t know that that’s like an option
but he has this
thing and he’s feeling like
these weird feelings and isa said
it led him into
participating in some very questionable acts
for example like having the family dog lick his
i know i don’t
know what he’s doing but he did that i know why did he
bring the dog into this i don’t know but he did
ysei said again
cause he’s pretty
young when he’s doing this he’s
experimenting
and ysei said that like when this happened
his sexual desires
start to become more
distorted you know
i wonder why
so as he say gets
older he only gets
weirder okay in
first grade he said that
he saw something that just got his
motor running
again he’s in
first grade okay
he found one of his
classmates like very
attractive so the fellow
classmate is wearing
shorts as one does when it’s hot outside
and he remembered
looking at this girl in her
shorts and thinking to himself man
that is a delicious looking thigh
i want to bite it
now remember you say is in
first grade
that means he’s like six or
seven years old
and you know for someone who is
six or seven years old that’s
a little different
as time went on
ysei was growing more and more
aware of his
fantasies of
eating thighs and
how it just wasn’t normal
and at the age of 15
he did try to seek help from a
psychologist
but when he found out
that he needed to go in person
and that he actually
needed help
it was serious
he never went
i guess he just like couldn’t
bring himself
to actually
tell his parents that he needed help so he just
never said anything and he
never went to therapy
his parents
never came out and said anything on record
about their son so it’s really unclear
if they knew what was
going on in
his head or if they even knew that he needed help
i doubt it i i
they just don’t seem like they talked at all
like yeah they showed love but i don’t
think they’re like hey how was your day today
so it’s 1964
and issei is 24 years old
at this time he’s
studying at the
university of tokyo
when he sees a tall beautiful german woman
she’s like walking in the
street and he’s just feeling
very attracted to her
most people
would be like oh you know i wonder how i
could like get to know her she’s so beautiful i
wanna talk to her
um and just like get to know them like a normal person
but he say as you probably
learned he really isn’t like most people
so instead of
thinking to himself like
how can i talk to her he’s
thinking to himself like
i wonder if i could get
close to her so i can eat her
so one summer he decides to lean into
those dark feelings
those dark desires he was having
and see where it leads him
i’m laughing
cause it’s uncomfortable
it’s uncomfortable to
think like you
could be walking
minding your own business and someone’s
thinking about eating you like what a bummer
anyway so he
was kind of like following this girl i guess he
would see her from time to time like taking the same
train and what not
and so he decides to just follow her home one
night okay it is waiting outside of her apartment
and he’s waiting to see like her
lights go off so once he knows that this
woman has gone to bed
he decides to
break in through her window
and sees that she’s laying in bed
sleeping naked
oh he’s feeling real jazzed he’s like this is my moment
this is it he’s
given so many interviews
so it’s like you can hear it directly from him
but he said that
he didn’t wanna kill her
he just wanted to take a bite of her bottom her bum
yeah like she’s not
gonna know or
something anyways he’s looking for something
heavy around to like
knock the woman out with
the first thing he sees
an umbrella
an umbrella
sure that’s
gonna work so he grabs the umbrella
goes up to her bed he’s like leaning over her
right and i
guess he kind of like
brushed up against her something
but she wakes up
and she starts
screaming as any of us
would do he says a very very like
small man and
so anyone over
like five two can take him down and that’s what she did
she wakes up she
starts screaming him she grabs his arms she
throws him to the ground
and then she calls police
you go girl so the
woman ends up calling police and
he say was arrested
right and he was being
charged with attempted rape
if only they knew what his real goal was you know
but of course he’s not
gonna tell him
that he was
gonna do that
he’s like sure i was
gonna rape her
sounds about
right well like i mentioned earlier
esay’s father was
super wealthy
and when he finds out that his son was in trouble
he pays a large
unknown settlement
to the victim
and the charges end up being
dropped i think it’s safe to say that you say
he didn’t he didn’t
learn a damn
thing right like
thanks daddy
i mean good for the girl she got a
large settlement
but you know you know
he should have to pay the price
teach him a goddamn lesson
but he doesn’t
so after that
failed attempt he says desires didn’t just go away nene
in fact they just got stronger
and more persistent
he knew he had to eat a woman
this was his one
dream in life
and he needed to
fulfill it in
order to be happy
dream big they say
dream big so then
you say ends up
going on a vacation
a little holiday
and he goes on like a cruise
to greece and
while he’s on this cruise
he meets like
a butcher and he’s like
super interested into this guy and this guy’s
like oh okay like
let me tell you
about my job
he sees like what’s it like being a butcher
you know what do you use to cut the meat with
is there a certain technique
you know he’s just trying to get butcher
basics one o one
and the butcher
he’s feeling very flattered
that someone is so interested in his profession
and he stays with
he say for a good amount of time explaining how
to butcher me
he say plays it all cool like yeah
thanks i wanna become a butcher one day
you know but secretly
he was taking notes
knowing that
he was going to probably most likely
apply them to cutting up
people meet
and not so much cowl
or whatever
i’m sure if the butcher
knew then what we know now you know
this would have
never happened
and okay i’m gonna jump
ahead here a little bit
because this part just
it’s so upsetting
because okay so e say does terrible
things which we’re
gonna get into
but he ends up e say
writes a letter to this butcher and
telling him
thank you so much for taking the
time to explain to me like how to do all this blah blah
blah and by this
point it was
his story you say
story was pretty well known
the butcher
never responded to his letter
but um i just thought wow that’s
super effed up
cause now that guy the butcher
has to live with
that for the rest of his life like i told this person
how to cut meat and he
applied it towards actual people
like that’s just so fucked up
is that not
i literally was like i
would be livid
so then in nineteen eighty one he say he
graduates from college
and he ends up moving to france to pursue a phd
in comparative
literature at sorbonne university
which is like a very
fancy smancy
university i hear
i don’t know but i’ve
heard that so when
he moves to like a
latin quarter of
paris france an area
which is super known for
its student life
it’s very lively lots of people
bistros ysei
is kind of getting adjusted to this new life of his and
he would say that
every night almost
every night he
would go out and he
would bring a sex worker
back home with him
and instead of paying them for you know some
sweet love in
he would wait for the moment when they had like
their backs towards him
and he would try to shoot them
like he was trying to
kill somebody
but luckily
i guess he would freeze
and he didn’t chicken out so
he couldn’t do it
but he was trying to get some practice in
so time goes on
and in one of his
classes he meets a woman
named renee and he immediately falls in love with her
renee heartfelt was 25 years old and she was also
studying to get her phd
in french literature
she was originally from holland
and it was said that renee was like five foot 10
she was just
tall stunning
super smart and she
spoke three languages
so again ise
meets renee in one of his classes
and he’s like
friendly with her whatever and he asks her that
or he goes up to her
and he says that he’s looking for someone to help him
study german
cause he’s struggling he
asked renee like hey
would you be open to
teaching me he then went
on to tell renee that he had a very wealthy father who
could pay for her to help him
and just pay
her for her time renee was friendly with ise
and she agreed
to help him with his german
and over time the two
of them formed like a little friendship ise was really
smart and he
enjoyed renee’s company because she was also really
smart too and
renee like that
about him they bonded they had a lot in common
they had a lot of common interest
so ise is in love
with renee and thought she was
absolutely beautiful
he even started to
write her love letters and he
would invite her to different art exhibits or concerts
and renee saw him as a good friend she agreed to go
out dancing with him from time to time because she just
enjoyed his company
and a letter renee
wrote to her parents
back at home
she said that she
found um e say
friendly and
intellectual
what i’m getting at is like she wasn’t
they were friends they seemed yeah
friends but i
think that’s the problem
um renee saw him as just that a
great friend
great company
she enjoyed him
as just that
and he says love for renee is just growing
he is wanting more
than just being friends
he wants to
do more than just wine and dine
her he wants to wine and dine
her if you catch my
draft he wants to eat her
so ysei would
later explain
that one of the reasons he really wanted to eat renee
was because she was healthy and
beautiful two characteristics he felt that he lacked
and he considered himself weak ugly
small he wanted to absorb her energy through
eating her i
guess that’s
his mind’s i don’t know dude
i don’t freaking
know you guys but that’s his reasoning but he knew in
order to eat her he has to kill her first
which is something that he seems
to be struggling with he said in interviews that if
renee would have allowed him to
drink her urine
or would have
given her some of her
pubic hairs
that alone might have satisfied his desires
but he was too afraid to ask in the
first place so
killing her in his mind was easier
than asking her for her
urine and pubic hairs
either way it’s awkward man what was it
gonna do with the urine
ew so one evening
ysei invited renee over for dinner and
he was asking her to
read him a poem by one of his favorite german writers
and she was like oh okay sure you know
cause they’re
learning remember
so she sits
down at his desk and she’s reading him the poem
isse he had a
rifle hidden in his drawers on the
other side of the room
and there are different reports that say isse
actually tried to
shoot rene this
night when she wasn’t paying attention
but that the gun
ended up jamming
and i guess renee didn’t hear it or even
have any idea
that it happened
behind her back because she was like sitting reading
and e say just pretends that nothing happened i
guess so renee took off for the night
she’s like bye you know whatever she’s no idea
what he says really thinking
and he went just full
blown creep
status one hundred
and just went off
you know when you’re really into someone
and the scent of like
their cologne
or perfume it kind of
lingers after they
leave and you’re like oh my god
like it smells like them
but nothing more
than that like not in a creepy way you’re just like
like oh my god like
yeah you know
just me no that’s normal
whatever well it was kind of like that ise
was doing that but it was to the hundredth degree ise
said that that evening when renee left
he smelled the chair
where she had been sitting he’s trying to
sniff up all of her scent
and then he even went as far as to licking the
chair she sat in
ysei wanted renee all to himself
and he made a little promise with himself that he was
going to eat her
which would
allow him to possess her
forever on june 11th 1981
isse invites
renee over for dinner
again this time
he told renee that he had a cassette recorder
and he wanted to record her reading
the poem aloud
that way he
could like practice
or whatever
so she’s like okay sure
sounds good poor thing
and she goes over to issay’s
house that evening
renee arrives to issay’s
house right
great so he welcomes her in
they sit down on the floor
he offers her some tea but what i
guess renee didn’t know was that he
spiked her tea with whiskey
now i couldn’t get clarification though if
she did know or if she didn’t know i feel like he would
taste it but
i’m going to say
maybe she didn’t know because
there was no straight answer and let’s not assume
anyways so he
spikes her tea with
whiskey and they’re just sitting on the
floor and they’re chatting and e say
he’s waiting for the alcohol to kick in
you know for
renee to be a little bit more
loose a little bit more
relaxed and then
after some time passes and he notices that renee
does seem a little bit more relaxed
that’s when he uses this opportunity to
confess his love for her
and he tells renee that he wants to take her to bed
for some you know winky dinky
and he’s telling
her that over time he’s been having all
these emotions and feelings for her and
thinks she’s wonderful x y and z
you get up now this moment this i
guess this was a
shock to renee
because she had making
it clear that they were friends
and she was taking a back and she’s like oh dear like
oh no i am busy around that time you were
thinking about doing that i’m so
sorry like i thought we were just friends
she went on to tell
you say i really
appreciate your
friendship and i just want nothing more than that
and she’s just trying to be really polite and
you know not piss him off
right but she’s bummed i
guess because this is the
that’s the moment your friendship
is kind of over he say response by saying that he
understands
and he’s like well let’s just get to the poetry though
so he gets up
he gets the book of poetry he wanted her to read
hands it to her she sits back down at his
desk and he
starts a tape recorder
so when she’s sitting at
issa’s desk her back is faced
towards him like
she’s facing a window and renee
begins reading the poem
well he say
has his gun ready
he comes up behind her slowly
with a twenty two
caliber rifle in his hand
bang bang he
shoots her in the neck
i guess there’s there was like a
brief moment
where renee kept reading the poem
before she fell into the floor
dead and the
whole thing was being recorded
ese said after he shot renee
she falls to the ground and then he like fell into
shock himself and then he fainted
so they’re just
like get it together guy
okay if you’re gonna do this you can’t be fainting
freaking loser so then he comes back to
and when he comes back to
he is like great
i get to like
carry out my original plan
now’s my chance i get to eat renee
i mean he had no
other choice
now he already followed through with for step one
ise said that he laid a towel
under her head
and then he undressed her
and he had everything
planned out in his mind like knowing
which part he was gonna
start eating first
i don’t know he
seemed to have like an obsession with eating the booty
i don’t know how else to put that because like
that’s what
he really wanted to do he wanted to take a big old
chomp into her butt
and he wanted to
start with her
right cheek
first it’s kind of ironic i
guess but he didn’t like
blood and he feared that the left
cheek would be more bloody
since it’s closer to the
heart so okay
you know alright sure lol so
while following his
dreams ysei notices that his
teeth are not
sharp enough to
penetrate someone’s skin
he’s like oh dear like i didn’t
think about this
so he’s like oh my god
fruit knife i have a fruit
knife in the
kitchen let me go get that
so he goes to get the fruit
knife he comes back he’s trying to cut her with that
but again that wasn’t
sharp enough either
so he’s goes back to his
kitchen he’s
just looking for anything any kind of tool that will be
sharp enough to help him out here and
he’s got nothing
so he decides to make a
quick little trip to the
store where he
he purchases a curved meat knife
so he gets the curved meat
knife comes back
it works and he proceeds to cut renee’s body up
starting with her butt is a
booty guy i guess
so issei proceeds to eat parts of renee’s body mostly
focusing on her
her boobage
her butt and her face
and he was kind of
experimenting a little bit he
would either
cook the meat
or he would try it raw
he would try with different
sauces mustard ketchup
vinegar red
whatever you use you know
butter you say in interviews said that he was surprised
at the corn
colored nature
of human fat
and he found the meat soft and odorless
and it melted in his
mouth like raw tuna
specific but
if you were curious now you know he said
a lot more but i just you know i just we don’t need to
go into super graphic
details you get the gist of it he
fried some of the meat
and he tried baking different
parts but he didn’t like the greasy consistency
that he was getting a lot of the times
he just was
experimenting with different techniques on how to eat
the human meat so during all of this he’s
he’s cutting renee’s body up and
e say said that
he was getting really
excited if you know what i mean
he was getting a boner
and just during this
whole process
he tells renee that he loves her for the
first time and
it’s just like dude get a fucking grip
what are you doing he said that
night he brought renee
um her body into bed with him and like
slept with her cuddled
uh knowing that the next day he was probably
going to have to dispose of her body because um
most likely like
flies and stuff
would come around
but ysei was
excited because the next day he realized that
there were no
flies just yet
and her body
hasn’t seemed to gone bad there was no like weird
smell there was no fly so it
still must be good
and he’s like fuck yeah i get another day to experiment
so he goes on to cut up
again her her skin her body he’s
sampling different parts of her
and he upgraded to an electric carving
knife at this point
i’m sorry for
laughing but
what are you doing yes he’s got an electric carving
knife he’s like i’m
gonna go upgrade really quick
he gets an electric carving
knife cuts up the rest of her body
he’s putting them in ziplock
little baggies putting them in the fridge for later
right saving it for
snacks or something and then during each
stage of dismembering the body
he took photographs of
each process to keep for his
scrapbook i
guess memories
but soon enough the
flies showed up
and once the flies
came and started to
swarm around
the body he knew it was time to get rid of it
it was done it was over
so in order to get rid of the body the evidence
poor bernay
so he’s like let me just chop her up
into smaller
pieces and i’ll
shove her in
these two suitcases i have
so he does just that
of course along the
way cutting her up further to fit into the suitcases
he’s sampling and taking bites of different parts
that didn’t have any
flies on them so is saying
came up with a plan
his plan was to put rene’s body into the two suitcases
and then take it down to the
local lake and drop
them in the lake hoping it
would sink and
never be found
again so with this in mind
he say he packs up he loads the
two suitcases and he calls up a cab
and he asks them to take them
to a public park
which is like five
miles from the city center of
paris it’s like the
second largest park in paris it’s
about two almost
three times the size of central park in new york
and this park has like several gardens
several lakes there’s even a
zoo and an amusement park everyone goes there and like
hangs out and it’s not like a
quiet place to go
where nobody’s
gonna see you execute this
awful plan but that’s
that’s his idea
so it’s around 8 p
m and issa calls up a cab driver
to come pick him up and take him down to the park and
when the cab driver picks him up
he helps isa
out with the two suitcases he brought
and the driver even made a comment to isa joking like
what is there a body in here or something
literally just joking because the suitcases were so
heavy and you know when you’re making
small talk like that you say something
stupid like
but you got a dead body in here
one out of every thousand times it may just be the case
but i guess e say just kind of
laughed awkwardly
and said like
no it’s full of books i have tons of books in
these suitcases
the suitcases were
super heavy though so when
e say was dropped off at the park
he was trying to
carry these um suitcases
and people are
just kind of staring at him at the lake just
watching the
small scrawny man struggling with
these two heavy suitcases
he’s like dragging
them down to the lake like a little weirdo you know
so a lot of people are just sitting there kind of
watching minding
their own business but they’re like he’s like
you know what is this guy doing
because the park was a very popular spot as he didn’t
think about how
crowded it would be
even though it was late it
still there was like a lot of people there
and he was feeling very overwhelmed
trying to drag
these suitcases around
because he felt like everyone was staring at him which
they were so he wasn’t
wrong eventually he said he
found like a little
quiet place
where there wasn’t that many people around
and he starts pushing the suitcases
down towards the lake towards the water
but he got to a
point where he was
really exhausted so he like suitcases are on the ground
took a break
and just kind of walks a little bit forward
and he’s admiring the really pretty
sunset mind you
his suitcases
are kind of like back behind him a little bit
and then he hears someone
shouting behind him it’s a man it’s an
older man he’s
hanging out at the park and he saw the two suitcases
and he thought like
somebody had left them or forgotten them he saw issay
standing not far
and he’s like hey man like are
these your suitcases
and issa said he thought
about saying yes but
he want the managers like go away
so instead he said
no and just walked away
which i feel like that wasn’t the right move
um so he just
walks away so the man
who asked he say like hey are
these your bags he’s
super curious he’s like who left
these you know two suitcases here let me open them up
maybe there’s a million dollars in there
so the man he opens up the suitcases and he sees
something like a bloody
bed sheet that my
guess is a had
wrapped renee’s body in
but he just sees like a bloody bed
sheet and then he
screams murder
like really loud
so everyone
in the park is looking over like what the hell is
going on like what
cause this man seems very
upset as one
would be you know
he say he didn’t even flinch he just kept walking
um he just aborted mission
walked back
headed straight to his
apartment as fast as he could
without drawing any attention to himself
so police were obviously called out to the scene
and they investigate the suitcases and
asked the witnesses at the park like what they saw
multiple people
reported seeing a small
asian man pushing
the suitcases down to the end of the lake
but that’s really the only information anyone had
so the suitcases were
taken to the
local mortuary
where they were
fully unpacked
and the gruesome
scene began to tell its
story they discovered the gunshot
wound at the nape of the neck
and portions of her flesh
seemed to be missing
photographs were taken
of the body for evidence reports
but sadly they
would not stay contained within the police files
somehow somebody with
greedy intentions it was someone working on the inside
they took those
photos and they sold them to pot like a popular french
magazine which led to them being published all over
but it is a horrifying
scene they haven’t
seen anything like this and it’s obvious to them like
it looks like somebody ate
this you know so they’re kind of
they don’t know what to do with this
it wouldn’t take long for investigators to find
e say though
police reached out to
local cab companies
asking if any of the drivers had a client that
maybe had some really
heavy suitcases you know well
sure enough
one of the drivers came forward and said like
hey i had a client yeah just
yesterday who i picked up who had some really
heavy suitcases
and shortly
after that e say was arrested
so police go and arrest e say and
i guess lucky for them e say didn’t even try to pretend
like he was innocent
the cops came in
they arrested him
and he just
confessed like that they were like hey you’re
under arrest for murder
and his response was
i killed her to eat her flesh
so case closed you know like
great we got it
confession after being arrested for renee’s murder
he says daddy once
again came to
his rescue paying for a top defense lawyer
despite there being multiple eyewitnesses
evidence found in he
says apartment
and his confession to the
crime he was
locked up put away for two years he was waiting for
trial and then the
judge found
ysei legally insane and unfit to
stand trial
so the charges
were dropped
the french courts sentence ise
to be held indefinitely
aka forever
in a mental institution though so you
know at least he’ll be locked up there and
maybe get some help during this time rene’s parents
never spoke to the
media and on the
other hand isse
like his parents were
paying for any
anything that had to do with the
legal side of things
and then both of the parents
they didn’t talk to
media but they also
shielded their son
isse from the public eye they just really protected him
and just paid for
everything he
says brother
actually showed public support
but it turns
out like he’s also an interesting case all on his own
he did an interview for forbes
and he says brother said that he himself had his own
urges that he
kept to himself like he didn’t tell anyone about it
and not even
he say knew
about his urges himself he wanted to eat people too
is what i’m getting at
his brother said in an interview that
he’ll probably die not knowing why he had
these feelings
or if there’s anyone else there like out there like him
but he say was
quick to like turn down his brother’s comments i
guess he would publicly say like oh my brother
his thoughts are not as bad as my thoughts
i’m i’m way
worse than he is
and it was like some really
weird competitive i’m a
better cannibal
than you are
i don’t know it was very
strange but there seems to be some kind of competition
going on issei
was sent to a mental institution
and a japanese author came by to
visit he wanted to
write a story
and then wanted to get issei’s account of his
crime so this author went
out and interviewed him
for his book
it was later called in the fog
which included issay’s account of his kill
and it would go on to sell like over 200 000 copies
and this book
it also featured all of the
horrifying photos that no one
should have seen now because of this book
the attention
you say was getting was widespread and
he was becoming a big
media sensation
everyone just wanted to know like what what what
huh you know
the curious cast
that we are just trying to figure it out
now the french
were not too
excited about this
because they were receiving a lot of negative
publicity because
ysei was technically
still in france
so um because they didn’t like all this negative
press they were getting
they decided it
would be best to deport him back to
japan so ise
was sent to a hospital in
tokyo and the
psychologist they’re examining him
and they declare him to be sane
but evil and his
sexual perversion was his only
motivation for murder
does that mean he say goes back to jail and
court and all that
no nene japanese authorities did try to put him on
trial for murder but the charges got dropped
and the french refused to hand over the necessary
court documents
so there was like no evidence for a
trial in japan
and without any evidence
linking ise
to renee’s murder
the japanese
courts they were unable to keep ise
further it doesn’t make any
sense he was
literally held for 15
months and then
because the french authorities
didn’t hand over the documents they couldn’t
charge him with anything and i was trying to
understand why that happened i really was but um
i don’t know i don’t know why they
wouldn’t handle over the documents so
after fifteen
months of being held he was able to
check himself out of the hospital
on august twelve
nineteen eighty six
free to just live his life
okay so the response in
japan was a lot different
than the response in france
and his crime
it kind of made him a
cultural icon in
japan i guess
and you say he didn’t
he didn’t shy away from it he embraced it
anyway so japanese
magazine called murder in mind
asked ise to
write an article
about the murder he committed
which again led to more
media attention
and outrage so over the years following renee’s murder
ise’s crime continued to
catch people’s interest
even a verse in the rolling
stones song too much blood
um they make a little
shout out to um
e say it was inspired by him his fame
kept him busy writing books a
comic book with
graphic illustrations of his
crime and making
countless guest
speaker commentator
and talk show appearances
he was like
just really milking it
i mean again it was a way for him to make his money
i don’t know if i’m mad at him or like i don’t
blame you anyways
he even appeared in several
movies and documentaries ysei had a
small part in a sexploitation film playing a sado
sexual voyeur
and he was getting a lot of porn
offers to be
quite honest with you like there was
another one where
they a producer
asked e say to participate in a movie
where they had him doing really weird
things like they
would measure his strength
while they were making fun of him
like a humiliation fetish
ysei also took a role in a porno
where he and his co star they
lived together in an apartment
for like 24
hours and they
would have sex
it seemed kind of like a reality porn show
ysei then asked the co star like hey can i
drink your urine
and your spit
very odd but i
guess some are into it
but then plot
freaking twist
after the two of them participate in
sexual relations
ysei reveals to the co star
about his past
he tells her that he is a cannibal
and he shares
his autobiography with her showing
her photos of what he had done to his
victim renee
and all of this is being filmed and
again it’s kind
of like reality so you’re getting this girls
true response to the situation
and the co star is just in like severe
shock and she
starts crying
later in life the two of them ysei
and the co star
they actually became like real life friends
and ysei said that she
would help him like
curb his cannibalistic desires
by having this friendship i
guess i don’t i don’t know the
whole thing is very odd
yeah that’s really all i
could say about that
you know as time went on attention around issa
died down a bit
and then in two thousand nine
issa sat down and gave an interview with
vice magazine
and he said that well he
might not be in jail
trying to make a living
while being a
known murderer and cannibal
was just a terrible punishment
woo hoo in addition to
royalties he was receiving from books and interview
fees he also did reviews for different restaurants
i guess that’s fitting
in a way i don’t know and then
e say he picked up
painting in his free time and he was
focusing painting on
women’s nude bodies
and he even sold like a number of them
in order to help pay for some of his bills
e say seemed to be kind of
scraping by and
in the interview you
could tell he’s a little
he wants you
to feel bad for him but i’m not sure what you
expect or what he expects
we don’t feel bad for you i i
think you should be in prison bro sorry yeah
i really think you
should be locked up
during this
vice interview
they’re asking him like hey are you a
changed man
you know have you
changed your ways have
you at least
i mean you’re one
lucky guy right you
literally murdered
and ate someone and you’re walking free
the chances of that happening are slim
to none have you curbed your desires to eat people
and then you say said no
no that even on his way to the
train station that day of the interview
he saw a girl with really nice legs
and he was thinking
about wanting to eat someone
again before he died
so over the years ysei has just
existed really he’s been living outside of
tokyo in 2013
he was hospitalized because he had
something going on in his
brain where
there was like no oxygen
or blood flow getting to his
brain and it permanently
damaged his nervous
system so he lives
alone he’s confined to a wheelchair
and he requires
daily assistance from either caregivers
or from his younger brother
he also had problems with his stomach area so
he can’t even eat
normal food he has to eat through a feeding tube but
his newest goal in life you you are probably wondering
well it’s to be killed slowly and painfully
but most of all by a beautiful woman
if possible
dream big they say
dream bag poor renee
not only was she murdered
eaten but the
photos of her remains were shared
with a lot of people you
know and then the guy who murders her he wasn’t even
really punished at all for his
crime i just
think it’s safe to say like he didn’t
learn a damn
thing from it
how do we know he didn’t do it again
we don’t he probably did it
again we don’t know
i wish this one had a happier
ending but i
guess it’s kind of comforting knowing that e
say is confined to his wheelchair
and can’t do any more damage
unless he has help
but then again
if his younger brother is working with him
i don’t know
because he seemed a little
off as well you know
is someone watching them
is anyone paying attention to
those brothers
let’s hope that my friends is the
story of ysei
sagawa he is
gross he’s gross like ew
ah if you watch any of the interviews with him
well thank you so much for hanging out with me
today i love and
appreciate you
guys so much oh let me know who you want me to talk
about next week
but other than
that i hope you have a wonderful rest of your day
you make good choices
