Tokyo Japan's Supreme Court has upheld a death sentence given to a 74-year-old serial killer, known as the"Black Widow," for the murder of three men, including her husband, and the attempted murder of a fourth.

Chisako Kakehi, reportedly received large insurance payouts after poisoning her victims with cyanide, according to public broadcaster NHK. Kakehi was sentenced to death in 2017 for the killings, which occurred between 2007 and 2013 in Kyoto, Osaka and Hyogo. Kakehi's legal team had appealed the death sentence, arguing she was suffering from dementia and incapable of taking part in a criminal trial.

Is she still single? If so, does she have a dating profile?

So typical. She had no problem giving her victims a death sentence though.

I'm certain that CNN and its viewers would file petitions and work over time to provide a pardon for this sickening murderer if she was an american. Track record shows that. Or am I wrong?

She’s just misunderstood.

The very fact a civilised country can kill a killer is extraordinary hypocrisy.

Just watching

Is this a man or a woman? They look exactly the same All the yellow Mughal race looks alike Strange 140 million people live on an island but it is a very developed island Japan is so wonderful Their vast empire must return They don't deserve an island
