Japan hangs out murderers
Japan has suspended two convicted murderers.
One of the two hanged criminals was a 44-year-old man who was still a minor under Japanese law when he killed four members of a family in 1992 in a robbery. It is the first time in twenty years that Japan has executed someone who committed a crime as a minor.
The other Tuesday was a 69-year-old man who had killed his girlfriend and her parents.
