Belgian Police Stumped by Death Note Manga Murder

ANN is reporting that the Belgian police has reached an dead end in the investigation of the recent "Death Note" murder:

The Belgian press have nicknamed the case "Mangamoord" ("Manga Murder" in Dutch), although the police officials emphasize that they cannot rule conclusively that the case was indeed murder. They also note that they have found no further connection between the manga and the case, despite the two notes. The circumstances of the real-life case were not similar to those of any fictional portrayal of death in the manga series.

Kira case

just were is this case going? and were they trying to murder this person and why? But I am just wondering what the are doing because they are giving otaku's a bad name.

Huh.

I'm not supporting the idea of 'Kira' owning an actual Death Note, but if there was no evidence other than the two notes....well, of course the body could have been preserved. Still though, no hair? No blood? Not even a footprint? This 'Kira' must have taken extra precautions......and he must be an absolute genius.

This MURDRERER is Not Kira

Just because no blood or fingure prints were found does not mean his is a genius. It may be due to extreme caution, or paranoia, the list could go on and on. Ofcourse you cannot rule out that factor anything can be possible, but to go so far as to actually believe you are a character from an anime may mean he has a personnality disorder of some-kind. His mind cannot be stable; he/she may have done this crime because he believes people will sapport him and his cause. Murderers like Kira and Hannible Cannible (Lord of the Flies) do not exist in the real world. If they did the human race would be in the most literal sense screwed, because as much as I hate to say it but I do not believe the police are very efficient. These are a few reasons this person may not be intelligent.

no they do not have to be a

no they do not have to be a ginus, they gust had to do all the planing right. this person must have looked a every varible in doing this. the person must eather be bald or knew how to hold there hair in something to where it would not fall out and be found. of course there is also the posibility that the "i am Kira" is just a cover up. and the desu or "dess" as the person spelled it means they mite not know japanies. and he or she mite be trying to throw of perple looking into the case by writing the note to where it seems a girl wrote it. but still who knows. i will give them credit they pulled this off well.

There are plenty of

There are plenty of criminals, not necessarily geniuses, who can keep the police guessing for months, even years. Shows like CSI and Law and Order in America, and similar shows in other countries, tell criminals exactly what they have to do to keep themselves from getting caught. Things like IDing by dental records, fingeprints, even footprints and the more obvious face and hair...

By shaving his legs, they now don't even know his hair color. That might be paranoid, as body hair and head hair are often different shades, even naturally. I'll give points on that, if it was intentional.

Personally, I like shows like that, that show law enforcement fighting the good fight. But I'm surprised there aren't nearly as many detractors to those kinds of shows as there are for general violence shows. The Mangamoord isn't the first copycat like this by far, though he may be the first for Death Note in particular. I just want to see what he has to say for himself - if he's ever caught.

In Reply to the 'Manga Murder'

I would not presuppose that I am smarter than the police who handled this murder. However, I have several insight into this matter.

I must say that the murderer, whoever he was,

1.) Lives in the area, circa 2 cities from the scene of the crime.

2.) Walked that distance, as indicated by

a.) No smell of gasoline... if the area had never had a car over it, the smell would have been there.

b.) Cars leave heat trails that stay for over 48 hours.

c.) No bike equipment was found in the vicinity that was unaccounted for.

1a) Had a bike been the vehicle MO, there would have been signs.
Dead bodies carted on a bicycle, if not receiving attention, do
drop at least dead skin cells that were NOT found.

1b) Rubber flakes off when you start a bike up, and none was found.
This indicates that more time than police have acknowledged was
used to prep the body for the death, having to manually ship the
body via box, or, more likely, in a bath of sorts, which catches
blood.

3.) The body was stored in a controlled atmosphere for longer than 3 days.

a.) While preserving the body, this would have kept conditions ideal for
ensuring minimal loss of skin cells and maximum loss of identifying
features. This, of course, presupposes that
1a) The victim lacked certain features as tattoos and piercings.

b.) Hair has extremely stunted growth, but does not fall out naturally,
when a person dies. Therefore, to have eliminated traces of hair
that would have automatically identified an individual, the murderer
must have shaved all hair, then used tweezers to remove them.

c.) No blood was ever found. For a murderer, the best way to acheive
this is simply to dump the body in a tub, and suck the blood out,
much the way morticians do to dead bodies. This also disguises the
identity of the murdered individual, because blood loss is well known
to give a lighter pigment to people.

4.) The police investigation method was tailored by the murderer to allow her to get off easy.

I'll get to why I say 'her' in a second.

a.) The murderer rid herself of incriminating evidence

1a) There is no hair, an identifying feature

2a) Blood has been removed.

3a) The leg hair has been shaved... which could have identified hair color and thus set up a list of who was murdered and who could be suspects.

b.) Employed tactics limit the suspects

1a) Travelers would logically be selected and detained... the murderess would have known that

2a) Removed blood indicates access to a plumbing store or store with plumbing access. Or personal usage, which can not be verified without a warrant that can't be verified without that information, etc

3a) The murdered person was close to the murderess. The reasons I say this are simple: 1) There is no sign of a bump or force, which would not be removed by the time of discovery and 2.) No individual came forth saying that a relative or friend had been missing for some time, which begs the question of who could know.

4a) Assuming that point 4b3a is accurate, the only way that the murderess could hold an alibi is to state that the friend, relative, or so on left via car. Not plane, which is trackable, but car. This supports the notion that the murderess lives within two cities of the incident, and gives an alibi in that it is acceptable to not hear from another person on a trip for a couple of days without thinking that something wrong has happened.

5a) Death Note references. Fine. Understood. Let's think about this... you've got a murderess who has killed the individual, dropped not one spot of blood, and dropped not one piece of hair, and never let a single skin cell hit the ground. This same person accessed the murder scene in a time that nobody would be around, in a place very few would suspect, using a transportation method for herself and the body in such a way that it's untraceable. Finally, this SAME person has not been caught. Statistics show us that the majority of people who watch anime, particularly Death Note, are male teens.

Come on. It's not a huge leap of faith to believe that this same person didn't have the foresight to throw the police off the trail by leading a clue in the wrong direction, much like something out of Agatha Christie.

****CONCLUSION****

The killer is quite cunning, and though the body statistics seem to indicate a medical joke, it's not. Additionally, the killer was intelligent enough to use that as an advantage, and throw suspicion on this whole murder. If I were the Belgian police, I would investigate

- Women
- Those with access to plumbing tools or water line construction.
- Have lived in the area for longer than three years prior to the incident.
- Ages 20 - 35
- Those with freezers
- Mortician receipts
- Rented cars in country
or
- Incoming flights w/o rented cars
- Two cities radius of city with body

Roxas out.

Huh.

I'm not supporting the idea of 'Kira' owning an actual Death Note, but if there was no evidence other than the two notes....well, of course the body could have been preserved. Still though, no hair? No blood? Not even a footprint? This 'Kira' must have taken extra precautions......and he must be an absolute genius.

Well, Well...

It would seem we are dealing with a man whose general intelligence could be on par with my own.
Sadly though, it would seem this man is nothing more than a raving lunatic who believes he is "Kira".
No matter, he shall be found and put to death... this is a direct challenge to our pal "Kira" here.

Direct challenge

Your directly challenging him. Well M email me at swords_massia@hotmail.com(my watari) and help me resovle this case, email quickly as to i can see who is willingly to cooperate.

your challenging him?

Well i belive we should team up if you would like to i am willing to work with anyone that has the gut to say that so if you do want to work email me at DarkMasterCheif@yahoo.com

I will give you my name later it's best you don't know now

if you realy want to find me

if you realy want to find me im in st. joesph missouri

I As Well...

Ah yes, yes. It would seem my dear, dear friend and colleage 'M' has left without my knowing and took it apon himself to take on this 'Kira' character. I find this most baffleing and troubling as well. But, this also surves as a fine test of sorts. 'Kira'...wits, luck, and plans will not hide you forever and I WILL expose you!

After kira

Well F, i am also after this "kira". If you are willingly to cooperate then email me at watari's email(swords_massia@hotmail.com) and i will help you, and vice versa bring this case to an end.

this is for anybody willing to help

I belive i should tell my name my name's Akuma aka K.
Anybody willing to stop this mad man i would love to work with anybody who belives they have the skill to take "kira" down i'm will to work with anybody to stop this man from killing any more people for the sake of showing his power to the world

PS i have posted as "It's best you don't know"

we all know the real K is female.
its a well known fact to the whammy house members
so... why is your email adress darkmastercheif?
sounds kinda male to me
and im the REAL K
so just take a new alias next time you attempt to solve a case beyond you

it would seem

That we have the entire alphabet working this case. Very well. If anyone wishes to recieve my help, respond here and I shall contact you. If not, then I shall do it on my own. This is a direct challenge to Kira. You will be caught. I promise you this. Your first mistake was using the name "Kira". That brought you too much attention, which, I fear was your intention. This means you are either extremely competent or you are bored. Either way, you will be brought down. I promise.

To kira

Why don't the police just simply take a DNA test of the found body parts found and compare the results with the list of missing persons. I do welcome the challenge of this case. If it is indeed a murder, If "kira" is out there, then I will find him.

after kira

i will help you L, just email me at Watari's email. mentioned in 2 other comments.

D-NO

DNA tests are impossible without a sample to compare them to, and missing persons rarely have a DNA sample on file; in most cases, the sample is only in relation to previous criminal activity of the calibre that would require a DNA test. Believe me, as a chemistry student on the medical track, I should know.

As for all of you Alpha-battlers, consider this: do any of you live in or have access to Belgium? Do you have access to police records? Do you have access to any type of equipment? Do you have any sort of license to investigate? If this is all some sort of elaborate role-playing game, I apologize, but these comments are getting quite ridiculous.

Re: D-NO

I agree with "Abia Skye". If you don't have access to Belgium, police records, any kind of equipment or a license to investigate, then your battle is as good as lost. And furthermore without police information that are kept from authorities you won't have any advantage.

Now I understand that the "Manga Murder" does sound very interesting, since it's killing was influenced by the manga, and the anime, Death Note, which is one of the most noted anime series of all time, but most of you aren't experienced on the field of investigating. This is no easy work, this you all must understand.

I believe over at least 64% of all the people on this forum are under-aged. If you want to investigate murder-crimes, read books. Fictional as well as fact. Read about serial killers. See what makes them "tick". Read about infamous cases and about assassins. Read how other investigations got infamous criminals behind the bars. For starters; try distinguish yogurt stains from milk stains on your friends t-shirt, for example. Anything is a clue.

This is a profession, you don't rush into professions it takes time to develop necessary skills. You'll have to be able to put yourself in the steps of the serial killer. Plan ahead, memory does take a vital part of an investigation. Memorizing facts and distinguishing things that are planted knowingly and that are not by the killer, have a good explanation and detail and describe everything thoroughly, you'll have to think all the chances at once and exclude all but one. And if you have a lead, suspect or anything else connected, stick to it. But be ready to explain every single fact you have; what, when, how and why? If you're working with a team, you'll have to work together. If teamwork can't be established, the investigation shouldn't be continued unless either of you quit, or started a new investigation on the same thing. Rivalry is a funny upsurge for contestants.

Teamwork that isn't going well doesn't, most of the time, have a good ending. Although some investigations have been solved even though investigators haven't been very fond of each other. Even in cases where investigators suspected each other.

In this case, this person may be a student, possibly over 20, studying at a medical school. He doesn't even have to live in Belgium. He could've been from eastern Germany, Netherlands or France or even Luxembourg. There is about 92% suspicion that he is from Belgium though, I'd reckon. He'd have to cross borders with the corpse, that means too much problem.

If this case is to be solved, police and other investigators have to be much more anal and go through the medical school system and collect files and data in Brussels. If the person is smart he would have kept the corpse for some time, before proceeding. Kept it in a refrigerator. There are about 4 medical school located in Brussels which the police should investigate. If this was a prank or not. The victims limbs were cut, even the head; meaning he could have been wise enough to remove anything that might lead to identification, if this is somehow connected to a medical school test subject. This person, or these, do know how DNA or hair and such are used to identify. Seems like a medical student/s.

This person possibly lives alone, could be an exchange student. This might've been pulled by two or more people also. And the list goes on. There are so many things to ponder. But people with experience should investigate this, not teenagers at home with less or no experience.

yes I agree

this is completley true
but the real investigators out there will need the insight of talented young minds
people who read things like death note, sherlock holmes, case closed, ect
these people have a high reasoning ability, that goes without saying that they have to be inteligewnt before reading the above mentioned novels,

knowing what the police know and giving thier oppinions cant hinder the investigation any more then interviewing locals about thier thoughts
who knows this person could have been abducted from another country such as the states or canada, making one of these Alpha-impersonating teens a huge help to the case
but thats only hypothetically
no one will ever be sure any more than any of the wammys house fakes or any of the investigators down there right now untill new evidence is turned up
because there is not enough to find a victim or even a suspect
untill then I, K, will be waiting for a chance to prove to YOU that I am real, and that there will be a time to recruit these young minds to help us find a killer

that is all
K

ugh

ok fake L, i would just like you to give up and tell us your not really L because if you truely had been following this case the way the rest of us had you would know that there was NO DNA or RNA found on the victim, and even if there was chances are they took the sample and tested it, finding nothing in their databases,
so next time you go impersonating a hero, at least do your homework

I am L

one thing does not tick, it says there are 2 pieces of paper and one says "I am Kira" then what does the second one say? Also a simple mistake in Japenese grammer is says that this person is not Japenese or has no Japenese contact. Now, the possibility of a student prank is unlikely. If this was a sick prank, why would they take the body from a classroom near Sept 28 when the teachers come bak and security is at the highest? If they were to take a body they would take it during the summer where they would hav time to prank friends. Now the body was found and looked "perserved". If you notice Sept is cold in Brussel and and was about 9-13 celicius or 48-56 Farenheit. The body could have had a refrigerator effect. A pshycopath is possible. It could be a pshyco that wanted to get rid of any evidence. One clue is the shorn testicals. Getting a 20-30 yr old body is very hard and would require someone to attract the male into their house. This would require seduction which a woman has, so a woman being the killer is about 62%. There is also a possibility of an alias because is the shorn balls and the severed feet indicate the body might hav been bleeding or had a putrid smell. If it was a 20-30 yr old man that has died he must've been around 120-130lbs or 55-60 kg which would take 2 or more people if the person did not want blood or a stench on him or her and wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. Also in the wikipedia article it says that the body was found at the tip of the mountain which further helps my theory of an alias. they had to carry a heavy body up a mountain without getting blood or a rotting smell on them so pedestrians will not notice them.

"P"

I speak freely and agree with your deduction of the crime commited. Althought this is of high interest espeacially with the topic locally asscoiated with. What I find undefined is the bizarre yet humorus mangas of all. Death Note. Of all fractured motives, why this at the very least? There is an intimacy between motive with killer and manga, a hidden force of acusation for this murder- if to say. But in my own despute I find this awkwardly unbalancing something odd like the group Corpus which is now working on this case with the dutch police, efforts otherwise fruitless.Yet reported ealier between 1996 and 1997 a case of unsolved (5) women murder cases. This is all I have to say on the subject.

I am kira

I am kira and yes the kira who wrote the note is a women

I know what the second note said.

The second note that they found was a duplicate of the first one, just in different color ink. Any who, I agree with you "L".

-Kitsu

My take on the case

I myself, am an avid fan of the series, and a Kira supporter definitly. But my take on this death, is simply this. If a person has come in contact with a notebook, It all doesn't really add up. One murder, two notes.. Still I can't lay aside the fact that this is really suspicious. If this new "Kira" indeed does have a notebook, then obviously he doesn't have the grip or knowledge of justice as the orginal Kira, or Yagami Ratio.. My theory would be that this new Kira possibly had possesion of the notebook, tested it's power and now that he realizes it works he is terrified of being caught and is in hiding. I can only be more sure of this theory if more people are brought to justice, then I will believe. If not, it is only a short time before this world becomes anew. Long live Kira! Kira is Justice! and all who oppose Kira, shall be brought to justice as well!!!

-Ratio

This is ridiculous.

I'm a fan of the series too, but let's be rational here. Death Note DOES NOT EXIST. And of course it doesn't add up, there's no such thing as a notebook that can kill people just by writing their name in it. It's not something that anyone can seriously include in theory.

And okay, let's say that for the sake of the arguement, this so-called "Kira" DOES have a notebook, and was "just testing it out", like you said. If he was just testing it, then how would he know that he can control a person's actions before they die? And even if he did, explain to me how he would be able to get this person to freeze themself, shave, cut off his limbs and head, and walk all the way to Dudenpark? That just doesn't make sense, it's preposterous. And if this person was a criminal, as the "real" Kira only kills criminals and those who get in his way, it would be a lot easier to identify the victim because there would be someone missing in jail somewhere in the area who escaped recently. This isn't anything supernatural.

Honestly?

Is this a game? Or are you all honestly trying to figure this out?

The fact that the prank was in September makes the prank more likely than in the summer. In the US, med schools open in June, but the report says that the schools were only just opening. This implies that the schools were either closed over the summer, or were ending then. If they were closed, students would not have access to cadavers at all. If they were opened, students would be worried about their final examinations and residency placements, and such (assuming the Belgian system is similar to the American one). However, I agree that the likelihood of it being a harmless prank is low, improbable even, as nearly a year has passed and no one has come forth. Even if the students were frightened of reprisal, in the most likely scenarios, someone would have told.

As for your suggestion of a preservation effect, 9-13 C isn't nearly cold enough to preserve a human body; that would require freezing or subfreezing temperatures, or walking around in winter would be much more dangerous for humans than it is.

I do, however, agree that the shorn testicles may indicate a psycologically damaged individual. Testicles, while chock-full of DNA, have no more identifying capabilities than the rest of the body. This may suggest that the pseudonym 'Kira' stems from mental instability rather than a more basic copy-cat crime.

I disagree, again, about your interpretation of the nature and execution of the crime. Finding a 20-30 man is not nearly as hard as you seem to think. Seduction is rather unlikely, but in such a situation, there is actually evidence that may point to the victim being a homosexual male. With so little evidence - or, at least, so little evidence available to the international public - it is impossible to divine the particular circumstances of the vic's death.

Finally, I agree with the lower post about the fact that the body had been chopped up and then left on the mountain. There was no mention of blood found on the mountain, which would suggest that the body was not mutilated on-site. The precision of the cuts would suggest that the body was frozen, and therefore easier to cut smoothly, or cut with surgical tools that medical students might have access to. Or both, of course.

There are many holes and leaps of logic in your theories. Then again, there were many such in Death Note, which I assume you are emulating.

Impressive.

Your deductions are rather impressive; you seem well-informed. I first heard about this case last night and found it interesting, so I decided to do some research on it, and here I am.

But first off, let me just say that I completely agree with you on most accounts, especially having to do with the fact that the probability of this being a prank by school kids is very unlikely. With a prank that big, surely someone must have bragged, and it's been about 9 months, yet nothing's turned up. I appreciate you sharing this opinion with me.

Also, I highly doubt that seduction was a factor here, as you said. Many people are saying that the use of "watashi" on the first note means that the attacker is female, but I doubt it. "Watashi" is used with both males and females, just formally. And as far as the two notes go, if anyone has any knowledge of what the second note says, then I would love to hear it.

Now, as far as the intelligence of the attacker...it's hard to tell. Considering the fact that there was very minimal evidence left on the crimescene that would point to who the actual victim was (no fingerprints, no footprints, no hair, no face, not even blood), we're sort of left to believe that we're dealing with what some would call a "genius". However, the obvious misspelling of "dess" instead of "desu" leads people to believe that this "Kira" isn't very smart. ...But at this point, once again, it's hard to tell whether this was just a distraction to throw off the police or if this was just a public display of stupidity.

And if anyone tries to say that there really is a Death Note, please, don't even reply to this topic. That's ridiculous. Death Note is a FICTION series that was made by a human of this world. So please, anyone who actually believes that a Death Note is really responsible, answer a few questions for me: Why would someone write a manga about something that already exists? That's not very creative. Why would this copycat killer not use heart attacks to kill people? And why would someone who believes he is Kira dirty his own hands by going through the trouble of killing someone, freezing them, chopping them up, and then carrying them all the way to the top of a mountain, only to so idiotically leave a note like "Watashi wa Kira dess"? That isn't like Kira at all.

I do believe that, assuming that this is not a prank, that Belgium is dealing with some kind of psychopathic or mentally unstable individual. I wouldn't doubt that this person is of young age (probably between the ages of 17 - 35, I wouldn't say they're much older than that), and experimentation is a large factor. I even looked into the possibility that there could be a mental hospital around that area, hoping to explain why this place was chosen. So far, I haven't yielded any results; however, I don't think that it's likely that this alleged killer was smart enough to be able to carry a body all the way up to Dudenpark without anyone noticing...no, they probably live within the area. It's a possibility that he/she used a truck or a car of some kind to drive out of his way to do this, but I don't really find much that's significant about the spot, other than the fact that it's the highest point in Forest. It's not symbollic enough. If someone was going to pose as Kira and they wanted to be symbollic, why not leave it on top of a church nearby, or at least near one? It seems ideal.

And yet, because it's been nine months since the body parts were found, and there haven't been any other similar killings, it makes me question whether we're actually dealing with a serial killer or not. Especially if we're dealing with someone who wants to be similar to Kira, wouldn't they want themselves to be known more than this? For all we know, it may be just an abandoned project, but at the same time, this "Kira" may be biding his time to get a reaction. I must say that it's peculiar, though, that they haven't yet identified the body in any way, or even matched it to a missing person. This would be hard to do, considering the evidence, for sure. It's not impossible, however. If you ask me, the police should be looking into this more than they are.

And, on one last note, I just want to say something. Please, everyone, stop trying to reinact the fictional Kira case. You are not L. This is not Light Yagami. No offense, but you're kind of making fools of yourselves by "declaring a challenge to Kira" or whatever. This person probably doesn't even speak English! Offer up some REAL theories and your REAL thoughts on the case, instead of just jumping at an opportunity to be L Lawliet, because it's not going to happen. Sorry, but sitting at home on your computer and making up some extremely far-fetched theories about the case isn't going to help solve anything.

I want you to know I am the

I want you to know I am the male kira yes the female kira is only doing my dirty work for me

You seemed well informed,

You seemed well informed, L-sama. Yes, it would take two or more people to carry a body, BUT only a torso and thighs were found. This means that the rest of the body has to be somewhere. The killer has either hidden/burried them or is keeping them with him. As for your theory of it being a physcopath, I agree with that strongly. The thighs that were found were also shaven, another physcopathic act.

-

S if you are willingly i would like to cooperate with you and others to find an answer to this case. I have been working with my own sources but it is not enough right now, if you are willingly get watari's email and email me saying so. There are many interetsing facts you might be interested in hearing.

true

I agree with you as well s. L-san if you think that it was mabye to people it could be that there is all ready a second kira but in the sence of being used for suduction . In my beilf i think that it my be 2 kira's working togther but let's not call the second kira , kira yet not untill him/her kill's someone under one's own will. What im trying to say is that mybe there is a female conter part to the orignal "kira" so to speak

C Is On The Case

I say, you all must have done your homework on this subject. But let me warn you, right here and now, that KIRA, if there really is one right now, is probably reading these and indulging on them all. You people may continue your hunt for KIRA, as shall I, but do not make him an infamous star like in Death Note. Yes, it is exciting and terrifying. It is also peculiar and quite strange. You do not want KIRA to 'strike' again, do you? With all of this, s/he'll more or less be enticed to resume the reaping. Anybody here who is willing to assist in my own, personal investigation, please email me promptly at CriminalJustic9@aol.com. I promise you shall not be disappointed. I am studying this case tirelessly and will continue until KIRA is caught. I understand that I am more or less enticing him even further, but I must insist on gathering more people willing to fight for this cause, for this villain taking on the name KIRA, must be stopped.

-C-

inevitable

all of you can work your hardest to figure this one out, but without any more leads there will be nothing to go on
so the murder of another is absolutley, in my oppinion, inevitable
with that next murder which I expect on the killings anniversary
I also expect more evidence or at least something to find out if every murder will be carried out the same way or if it will alternate
in this case things will get interesting as I adn others have decided to take full action at this point, but i do wish all of you good luck in stopping the next killing

that is all

On the topic of Corpus...

Information says that the police are working with a group called Corpus. How ever any information beyond that, well just doesn't seem to exist. It is possible that this is an organization that works only with police organizations in cases such as these and thus public knowledge isn't required. We would like to know more about who or what these people are. Please respond with information on this or anything relating to the faux KIRA.

Corpus

This Corpus group that you keep speaking of is no more than a group of crime scene investigators. They, as the name suggests, deal with dead bodies.

hmm

something like this would be a reply only the killer would have any reason for asking...
but im not accusing anyone

Hm.

I've read everyone's posts several times and I do think you all have a lot of useful information.....and, just because I've been on this case long enough to become paranoid......that infromation makes all of you suspects. Any of you could be 'Kira'. Then again, how well do you know that I'm not 'Kira'?

your right

any one of us could be kira in fact who much of us has that much skill to actully be kira actully i have that skill but i must tell you i whould have turned my self in if i was kira and other then that i whould have not been that stupid

sorry

"how meny"

Well.

If you say this, does that mean you have admitted to everyone that you are Kira? No one in the right mind would say that, even if they were'nt Kira. And just becuase it says 'Watashi wa Kira desu' doesn't mean they mean from Death Note. 'Kira' is just another way of saying 'Killer' in japanese. They could've been saying it in different matters. As for me, I plan on catching ira in the act. I will get you Kira, I promise you that!!!!

RE : Corpus

a secret organisation, hmm interesting. Near, Mello i would like to assist by cooperating on the investigation. If you are interestd leave a post here.

I hope they found out who

I hope they found out who did this

gogo
dual action cleanse

"P"

I don't like the accusation going on it may sound humorus but to the unguarded eye like the authority might take it as a "Kira". I would also like if you would refrain from using "Kira" It outs some goodness of qualities in this killers light.

all right

i will refain from saying "kira"

Interesting

All of you speak of helping this case when i am the only one who has contacted this "Corpus" group. They are all poorly trained but have vigorous potential if in the right hands
I am in the process of gaining leadership of this investigation, as I helped Corpus with the Mons case, without me they would have been hopeless. This is a terribly local case, but the .4% chance that there could indeed be a supernatural cause to this attracts my attention very quickly. That chance is enough for a death note to really exist. I must admit, deep down, I hope such a thing does exist, and that i can challenge this deranged genius or idiot, whatever he may be. There is also the theory that it could be a med student prank, and I am also in the process of debunking this theory. Rest assured, I will find, or at least discover, this "Kira" with spelling issues.

To:Lovely

Hello,
I'm just telling you, That the chance of This killer actually having a death note has raised to 12%. The percent changed about a week ago.
-KITSU

Yes I do have a Death Note

Yes I do have a Death Note and i am a 14 year old boy aswell

AND

Any information on Corpus has been removed because of simple censorship. An invisible organization does many things that the law seems to turn a blind eye to. Any of you who have information can contact me at my email address deadlymagicface@yahoo.com

You all are very intelligent

Perhaps you could help
I would love to work with every single one of you
It gets me ecstatic just thinking of it!
I would not request it under my lead
We should work as a group
as equals
If i pull some strings
after you have proven yourselves trustworthy
I could get you direct interaction with Corpus

"P"

HABEAS CORPUS

The group has undergone some

The group has undergone some changes. The name Corpus Brachi has been adapted, as well as a new set of members. Surely you understand that the information i give out here is limited, as this is not a secure site.

"P"

I have a reason the killer is suffering to disorders such as neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism, or anxiety and mood disorders (for now i keep it disclosed unless asked). From what a deductible situation might be a killer in a way has to have a record of hospital growth as with any recorded person with a developted country. As said for basic knowledge every thing as a cause and effect which the world is govern by.

A man

By now it would be safe to refer to the killer as a man, because exactly 0% of serial killers have been female, aside from in television shows. It would be extremely sensible to exact the killer as a man.

You're forgetting..

Myra Hindley was a female serial killer.

i agree

i agree with you lovey . it is too my knowlge that it would be alot easier to belive that this is a man and ontop of when they talked to the jogger who was there before it happend she said that she saw a blonde man. Know she saw him two time's the first time he was near the spot it happened and the second time he was in the same spot. Know they belive it could be ethier the man who was murder or it's "kira"

additional information

yes, it is true that serial killers are male, more than not, as it is also true that 99.9% of them are white males. most serial start off as children who love to set fires and torture small animals.

"P"

I question Lovely and his decutions,but I havn't argued at all at him so I shall I agree with him or her. So far anything he or she has posted is most likly truth.

Lovely, i agree to your

Lovely, i agree to your proposal of working together. If you are still interetsed please email my "watari" of sorts at swords_massia@hotmail.com . I will get back to you soon as possible.

Lovely i agree to your

Lovely i agree to your proposal. If you are still interested as working as equals please email me at swords_massia@hotmail.com . the email of my watatri if you will.

Aneurisms

Corpus was going through extensive research on Aneurisms and a chemical that causes them in relation to this case. If someone had access to a chemical that could cause an aneurism, they could literally play Kira without suspicion. For a time. Perhaps the body was mutilated to eliminate traces of this chemical?

The Biology of It

There would be no need to mutilate the body to remove traces of any chemical. I don't have particular knowledge of this chemical without a name, but all chemicals either metabolize untraceably, are lost in the body's natural chemical decay after death, or are traceable given any blood sample. However, some chemicals are traceable in hair, which might give a reason for the shaving, provided it was done by the killer and not the vic. However, unless there was any medical evidence that the COD was an aneurism or toxin at all, this information is completely void.

These theories are getting pretty wild. Unless someone can find the COD, none of you can even really pretend to know what's going on.

"P"

First things First.

I'm sorry to say but I am off to the internet for along time to go to
where my cousine lives in Hawaii. Although
heaven forbid I don't want to
meets them because they absolutly hate anime, To them the
earth revolves around boys and the like. So bye!

I, as well...

I would be very interested to join the rest of you in this investigation. I plan to spend the rest of the weekend studying this case. With so many well informed, highly intelligent people working on the case, there is no doubt in my mind that "Kira" will be caught, and put to justice! Although not the first, I also directly challenge you, "Kira"!

E-mail me if you need to. My e-mail is Shikyomaru@yahoo.ca

I have a number of aliases, and I suggest that the rest of you do too...

"Manga Murder" is a misnomer

I find it strange that people are referring to this as the "manga murder".
Now IF and I stress IF the note and the body are related, then the murderer has most likely watched the Death Note anime in Japanese and not read the manga.

In many Japanese accents, "desu" sounds like "dess" because ending vowels are quieted to the point of inaudibility. Now "desu"'s closest equivalent in English is the verb "to be", a very common word in either language. This tells us also that if the killer wrote the note, then he had no knowledge of the Japanese language at the time of the murder.

Judging by the show's DVD release date and taking into account an error of a month or two for TV broadcasts or D2D purchases, there is no way that if the killer saw the anime, he saw it as an official release, meaning that he watched a fansub of the series. Yet, he had no knowledge of the Japanese language which may suggest that he was new to the anime community. Anime clubs would be the primary way one would be introduced to these.

I would like to classify my observations into two groups, the very likely and the simply conjectural so we don't get on any false leads.

Likely
------
-- No knowledge of the Japanese language
-- Saw the anime fansubbed rather than reading the manga

Conjectural
-----------
-- Belongs to an anime club that shows fansubs

That is all I can glean from the note.

I would also just like to add that I doubt that a secretive Belgian police organization recruits random people off the internet. They would run the risk of leaking sensitive information to the press.

wow

wow, J, that is a very reasonable deduction... lots of logic and thinking involved, i can clearly tell... you you like to, if you already haven't, join myself( S_strange_yet_specific@hotmail.com ) along with several others, including my associate( Swords_massia@hotmail.com ) in investigating the belgian murder? we E-mail all new information on the murder to each other and keep each other posted on the new theories given on the forum as well as come up with our own theories and information based on previous information. if you would like to join us, or would like anyone else to join us, please contact S_strange_yet_specific@hotmail.com or Swords_massia@hotmail.com of course, you should use an E-mail address with false information about your name and whereabouts.

Logic

With no offense meant to anyone else, yours are the most reasonable conclusions I have yet seen made, and I especially like your last statement. I actually want to elaborate on yours.

Operating under the assumption that the killer is Belgian, then the boards he could have been on are limited, even in the Death Note community. Assuming he falls under the statistics of his countrymen, he may have been on boards of the following languages: Dutch (<60%), French (~40%), English (40%), or perhaps German (1-5%). English is the most likely one, despite percentages; the majority of fansites are in either English or Japanese, and since he has shown little knowledge of Japanese, even for a fan, then the site was most likely in English.

Or he may not have joined a site at all. I never really joined any sites when I started watching anime, but then, I'm a pretty casual fan. Or, if he did look at sites, he may have 'ghosted' them: visited invisibly. Either way, it would be impossible to track him. There are enough Death Note fans, enough Kira fans, enough Kira fans that spout empty threats that, if he was vocal about his ideas, he would fade into the masses. It would be much easier if he was copying some no-name anime.

However - bear with me here; I have succumbed and will try a little psychoanalysis - if 'Kira' really is a psychologically damaged individual instead of a copycat killer with a convenient attention-grabbing tagline, then it suggests that he possesses the same characteristics as Death Note's Kira.

For example does anyone think it's strange that 'Kira' would choose his monniker, would identify with that character to such an extreme extent, and then turn around and kill an innocent. Under the assumption that 'Kira' believes that he is Kira, or is the next Kira, his victim was either a criminal or a percieved criminal. If he was a criminal, he was not one in the DNA database. Then again, I don't know much about Belgian criminal records, or 'Corpus', so perhaps DNA IDing isn't as common there as it is here (which isn't as common as TV would have us believe).

Taking it a step further, still under the assumption of certain delusions that 'Kira' has, his murder weapon, in his mind, may be a notebook. Depending on the degree of any mental instability, he may write the name of his victim and time and cause of death in a notebook - his 'Death Note'. Then, consciously or not, he goes and kills the victim in the way he wrote. If he is not conscious of his behavior due to some mental defect, then voila - Death Note. Another possibility is that the mastermind isn't the actual killer, and someone was contracted to kill the victim based on what was written in the book. The latter is less likely, because this suggests a much larger-scale crime than the reality. Furthermore, depending on the level and type of the killer's mental instability, this type of rational thinking may be beyond him or her.

That was a terribly long wank, and I can find dozens of holes in my logic, but I'm bored and it's the best I can do with so little information.

i will also like to join

i will also like to join this investigation as well i will research this for a week or to if someone want to contacet me reply to this

Sure

I'd be willing to work with you. Contant me at Shikyomaru@yahoo.ca

good

glad to see you would like to help jf im glad to see you can step up and help

Anyone

Anyone just here to pretend they have a high IQ and repeat everyone elses speculations should go somewhere else. Murder is a very serious crime and by investigating it, at certain points you are all legally liable and could be taken in as suspects if you take your false quirks too far. Just take this seriously and you'll be fine.

Doubt..

Excuse me, but I highly doubt that anyone dense enough would try and do that, unless they think they're a 'big shot' when they just repeat everything others say, but really they're just jumbling the intire investigation..

..Someone that goes about as 'H' was killed on April 28 2008, because she was certain she would not die that day. This is not some game that random people can jump in and play about. This is serious; kids, and teens the age of thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen, should stay out of this investigation unless they are willing to die.

No more games.

..D

No

The Belgian government is not going to have citizens of other countries brought in for questioning because they were discussing the case online. Do you really think that our baseless conjecture is going to have any impact whatsoever on this case?

we assumed so

we know that our theories are generally useless but the fact of the matter is, all human beings seek knoledge... and we also love it when we're correct... aswell as knowing something that someone else doesn'... humans love the feeling of superiority, and as human beings we must strive to fullfill our natural instincts by solving this case on our own.

-"S"

I see...

So I was wrong - it's not quite a game, but it's not exactly serious, either. I thought as much.

kira case

i want to help on this investigation it is futile.this killer must be stoped at all coast,well need alot of assidents to catch this so called kira.i want to know most of all if he really contains a death note and if he does what would the police department will do with it.all im consurned about cought now is that the kira faces justice
that is our goal here!

assidents

L and P if u read this message i8 will like to help u solve this case of the manga murder and stop this killing for good i already have two friends who would help us n and m. i will only use ??? as my name so u can call me triple mark for short

joining the case

i will join u in the case and ill try and find info about this case. i know if we all work together we can end this case as soon as possible

Kira Case

Manga Murder or Kira case I do not care what its called. I go under the name of Y. Anyone and i mean anyone wishing to coopeate and join a team of investigators working on the case should email investigationteamL@hotmail.com saying so, and i will get baq to you immdieatly. The onyl conditions are you respect the fact its a murder and dont act like you know everything, otherwise we will just kick you off the team.

Not enough info.

Well, this page certainly contains very little information on the case. I have gone around, reading from different news sources.

First of all, the circumstances of the real-life case are not the same as in the show because in the show, Kira made cars hit his victims and made his victims have heart attacks via usage of his Death Note. Since Death Notes are not real, this Belgium "Kira" cannot make those things happen and must stick with actual murder.

Anywho, there have been absolutely no missing persons reports filed. Therefore, they cannot match DNA to a missng person. Plus, at the scene, they found a torso that difinitely belonged to a man, but the two thighs that they found were shaved. This leads me, and some others, to believe that there were two victims, one male and one, or two, female.

But where did all the balls go?

There was a mention in an earlier post about shorn testicles; I misinterpreted that as general hostility or psycopathy. As for this theory, I assume at least chromosomal analysis would have been conducted to make sure the parts came from the same victim, especially if it was thought to be med student mischief. While they have whole bodies, it's easier to get a hold of singular body parts; if they hadn't matched, the possibility of a prank would have been much heigher.

More Help.

For some time we (I and 3 other people) have been watching the progress of the people here. As so, we have thought of helping with this case being solved, and would like to know if this is posable.
If so, please contact me at The_Sjha@hotmail.com

kira case

No has actually found proof that the death note does exist or in fact no one has dont even even know if it does exist or not, there can be alot of the things we the people dont know about that can be supernatural. so maybe we can consider that he might have a death note with him it is a 5% chance thought.

As you say...

As you say,he might have a 'Death Note', but one of two kinds.

Most people with a mental disorder usually keep or have something with them to remind them of who thay are. As some of us know, you can buy a copy of a Death note at diffrent stores in the U.S and canada, or by mail. should he of gotten one, his mind could of started to forget the diffrence of whats real and not.

Chances of him haveing a fake 'Death Note', about 89%
Chance he has a 'Death Note' with supernatural powers, about 1.5% to 2.3%.

Wow...

This sickens me. So many people here are nothing more than posers. Reading these posts, so many of you are making crazy assumptions, most likely because you want to be like L, or something to that effect. Seriously. Take the time to learn something about this case before just jumping in. This is murder. It's a serious matter, and as such, should be taken seriously. Calm down, find out what happened, and stop acting like 5 year olds.
