"The 44 Days Of Hell!"
This is a true story that happened in Japan in 1988.
A 17 year old girl named Furuta Junko, was
kidnapped and then tortured by 4 boys with very
unimaginable way and finally death after 44 days.
TOKYO, JAPAN → Born November 22nd, 1972,
Junko Furuta had just celebrated her 17th birthday
three days prior. The Japanese teenager and Junior
(grade 11) attended Yashio-Minami High School in
Saitama Prefecture in Misato.
On November 25th, 1988, Junko left School and
was walking home (although some reports say she
was walking to her part-time after school job.) She
never made it home.
She was kidnapped by a group of young men,
including a 17-year-old who was identified as ‘Jō’
and would be later given the surname Kamisaku.
They kept her captive in the house owned by the
parents of Kamisaku, in the Ayase district of
Adachi, Tokyo.
That was the beginning of her 44 days of torture.
She didn’t know her abductors, they had no grudge
against her and there was nothing specific that they
were after. They attacked her because they could,
embarking on weeks of atrocities because they
could, and because they wanted to.
To forestall a manhunt, the kidnappers coerced
Furuta into calling her mother and telling her that
she had run away from home, but was with “a
friend” and was not in danger. He also browbeat
her into posing as one of the boys’ girlfriends when
the parents of the house where she was held were
around, but when it became clear that the parents
didn’t care either way, he dropped this pretext.

home she will eventually die alone in.
DAY 1: November 22, 1988: Kidnapped
Kept captive in house, and posed as one of boy’s
girlfriend
Raped (over 400 times in total)
Forced to call her parents and tell them she had run
away
Starved and malnutritioned
Fed cockroaches to eat and urine to drink
Forced to ********te
Forced to strip in front of others
Burned with ********* lighters
Foreign objects inserted into her ******/anus
DAY 11: December 1, 1988: Severely beat up
countless times
Face held against concrete ground and jumped on
Hands tied to ceiling and body used as a punching
bag
Nose filled with so much blood that she can only
breath through her mouth
Dumbbells dropped onto her stomach
Vomited when tried to drink water (her stomach
couldn’t accept it)
Tried to escape and punished by ********* burning
on arms
Flammable liquid poured on her feet and legs, then
lit on fire
Bottle inserted into her anus, causing injury
DAY 20: December10, 1989: Unable to walk
properly due to severe leg burns
Beat with bamboo sticks
Fireworks inserted into anus and lit
Hands smashed by weights and fingernails kracked
Beaten with golf club
*********s inserted into ******
Beaten with iron rods repeatedly
Winter; forced outside to sleep in balcony
Skewers of grilled chicken inserted into her ******
and anus, causing bleeding
And yet she’d almost escaped. One time she
reached the telephone—but one of the boys caught
her just in time and ended the call for help. They
punished her by taunting her with a candle flame
and finally dousing her legs in lighter fluid and set
her on fire, as punishment for trying to run away.
She went into convulsions; the boys would later say
that they thought she was faking the seizure. They
set her on fire again, then put it out. She survived
this round.

DAY 30: Hot wax dripped onto face
Eyelids burned by ********* lighter
Stabbed with sewing needles in chest area
Left nipple cut and destroyed with pliers
Hot light bulb inserted into her ******
Heavy bleeding from ****** due to scissors
insertion
Unable to urinate properly
Injuries were so severe that it took over an hour for
her to crawl downstairs and use the bathroom
Eardrums severely damaged
Extreme reduced brain size
DAY 40: Begged her torturers to “kill her and get it
over with”
January 1, 1989: Junko greets the New Years Day
alone
Body *******ed
Unable to move from the ground
DAY 44: January 4, 1989: The four boys beat her
*******ed body with an iron barbell, using a loss at
the game of Mah-jongg as a pretext. She is
profusely bleeding from her mouth and nose. They
put a candle’s flame to her face and eyes.
Then, lighter fluid was poured onto her legs, arms,
face and stomach, and then lit on fire. This final
torture lasted for a time of two hours.
Junko Furuta died later that day, in pain and alone.
Nothing could compare 44 days of suffering she
had to go through.
