Thank you for sharing such a fascinating, yet horrific story. So very sad 😢

Any idea what happened afterwards to Sachiko Yokō and the Kishida family?

I hope they were able to somehow get to a better place after such a terrible tragedy.

Thanks for the comment!

Unfortunately I couldn’t find anything further about the families, except for some photographs in the Kyodo archive of funeral services.

The Japanese press often has follow-up stories on the anniversaries of such tragedies but I couldn’t find anything this time.
