On the 25th of November 1988, four youths abducted and held Furuta Junko in the house of one of the captors.

For 41 harrowing days, Junko had to endure unimaginable suffering at the hands of these four individuals. Finally, after losing in a game of mahjong solitaire, they beat her with an iron dumbbell and set on fire with lighter fluid. She died later that day from shock.
