The trials made for this case would probably be the longest one ever (4-months). According to the public broadcaster NHK, “She used a matchmaking agency to get acquainted with elderly victims one after another and poisoned them after making them trust her”. That is indeed the statement said by the judge in the June ruling made for the despiteful old woman.
