ABE Sada's case is a deadly bizarre one which happened on May 18, 1936. A male dead body whose penis had been cut off was found at an assignation house located at Oku-machi, Arakawa-ward in Tokyo. It was confirmed that his name was Mr. ISHIDA Kichizo, he managed a restaurant in Nakano ward in Tokyo and was murdered by his lover, ABE Sada, 32 years old lady. She strangled him with her waist-band a little after a.m.02.00 on May 18, while he was sleeping, having arbitrarily judged that there could be no other way than killing him to monopolize Kichizo for ever. After strangulation she cut of his penis with a butcher knife and disappeared early in the morning, keeping the penis wrapped in paper in her upper garment. She was arrested in a hotel situated in front of the Shinagawa station and sentenced to be 6 years' penal servitude in December. This case aroused a great interest among the general public widely because of its bizarre nature. I could obtain some materials related with this case by chance, while I had expected to know the essence of the case. In No.8th study report, I reprinted "Material: The expert opinion in writing on Ms. ABE Sada's mental conditions". In this study report, the first to sixth investigation records in the court of ABE Sada case are reprinted.
