TOKYO (AFP) - A Peruvian man found guilty of murdering six people in Japan during a killing spree in 2015 was sentenced to death on Friday, a court spokeswoman said.
Vayron Jonathan Nakada Ludena was arrested in 2015 after six people were found stabbed to death in a residential neighbourhood near Tokyo.
The Saitama district court found him guilty of killing a 41-year-old mother and her two daughters, aged 10 and seven, as well as an 84-year-old woman, and a couple in their 50s.
The bodies of his victims were all found in their homes in the usually quiet suburb of Kumagaya, northeast of Tokyo.
The 32-year-old apparently embarked on the killing spree after managing to flee a police station where he was being questioned on charges of trespassing.
His lawyers had demanded his acquittal in the murder trial, arguing that he suffers from schizophrenia and was not mentally competent for trial, according to public broadcaster NHK.
The trial attracted massive public interest in Japan, which has a famously low crime rate, and NHK reported around 500 people queued up early Friday to observe the sentencing.
According to sources in identity records offices in Peru, Nakada Ludena is the brother of Pablo Nakada Ludena, dubbed "The Apostle of Death," who killed 25 people in Peru between 2000 and 2006.
Pablo Nakada Ludena has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and has attempted suicide. He has been held in a psychiatric prison east of the Peruvian capital Lima since 2007.

Japan
sentenced to death a Peruvian accused of six murders
March 9, 2018
A Japanese court sentenced Vayron Jonathan Nakada
Ludeña of Peru on Friday for killing six people in the town of Kumagaya, about
60 kilometers northwest of Tokyo, in September 2015.
Nakada, 32, was sentenced to death for the crimes
of robbery and murder as requested by the prosecution, according to the Saitama
District Court (north of Tokyo).
The
prosecution requested the penalty maximum for Nakada for having committed
"extremely cruel and inhumane crimes", and among whose victims were
two minors, reported the state chain NHK.
The crimes
Nakada
is accused of having broken in between the 14th and the September 16, 2015 in
three houses of Kumagaya, having stolen money and valuables and having murdered
his tenants.
The
victims were the couple formed by Minoru Tasaki (55) and his wife, Misae (53);
Miwako Kato (41), and his daughters Misaki (10) and Haruka (7). The bodies were
found stabbed in a closet of the house.
Japanese
authorities also believe that Nakada is also responsible for the death of
Kazuyo Shirai, an 84-year-old woman whose body was found in a residence near
where she was located
Nakada Ludeña is the brother of Pedro
Pablo Nakada Ludeña, the greatest serial killer in Peruvian history, imprisoned
in 2007 for the murder of 17 people.
He argued insanity
during
a court appearance last 9 February, Nakada said he did not remember killing
anyone. His defense argued that he suffers from schizophrenia, according to a
psychiatric test that contrasts with the evaluation previously requested by the
prosecution and that concluded that the Peruvian was not suffering from any
mental disorder.
Nakada
had been living in Japan for 10 years at the time of the crimes. Although no
employment or fixed address was known to him, the authorities determined that
during his stay in the country he resided in several municipalities of the
Kanto region, where Tokyo is located.
Legacy of death
Nakada
Ludeña is Pedro's brother Pablo Nakada Ludeña, the greatest serial killer in
Peruvian history, imprisoned in 2007 for the murder of 17 people.
Pedro Pablo was nicknamed the "Apostle of
death", after affirming in his confession that he committed the crimes
"To clean Peru of the scum." Before the Police, he assumed himself as
a divine envoy who had the mission to "purify the land of prostitutes,
drug addicts, homosexuals and assailants."
The Judicial Power concluded that Nakada Ludeña
suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and after declaring him inimputable,
sentenced him to a confinement 35 years in the psychiatric ward of Lurigancho
prison, the "Apostle of death" has been in prison for more than 10
years and is currently 44 years old.
