First sentence: The ghastly murder by a 14-year-old 'school killer' of 11-year-old Hase Jun, whose severed head with mutilated eyelids and mouth was found at the school gate of Tomogaoka Junior High School in Kobe one morning in May 1997, shook Japanese society with a magnitude comparable, in the anxiety it caused, to the earthquake which hit the same city two years earlier.
