Issei Sagawa, Japanese man who killed a woman in 1981, dies

French medical experts deemed Sagawa unfit for trial in 1983 and he was held in a psychiatric institution, before he was deported to Japan the following year. Hartevelt's family continued to push for his prosecution despite him being deported. However, in Japan, Sagawa was ruled to be sane by the authorities, who said he didn't require hospitalisation, according to a Mail Online report.
