土地所有者を殺人容疑で告訴　熱海土石流の遺族５人

　静岡県熱海市で７月に起きた土石流災害で、死亡した６人の遺族５人が１０日、土石流の起点となった土地の現旧所有者に対する殺人容疑での告訴状を県警熱海署に提出した。
　告訴状によると、土石流の起点となった土地の現在の所有者と、盛り土を造成した２０１１年までの所有者は、安全対策を講じなければ土砂崩壊発生の危険があり、近隣住民が死亡する可能性があることを認識していたにもかかわらず、盛り土を放置。住民が死んでも構わないという「未必の故意」があり、殺人罪に該当すると訴えている。（2021/11/10-16:38）

Families of victims of a fatal mudslide in Atami, Shizuoka Prefecture, central Japan, filed a criminal complaint Wednesday accusing the current and former owners of the land plot where the mudslide began of committing murders.
   The complaint was filed with local police by five family members of six of the 26 people killed in the July mudslide.
   According to the complaint, the current owner and the former owner, who had the land plot until 2011 and created a soil mound there, had left the soil mound while knowing that it could lead to a mudslide and cause deaths to residents unless safety measures are taken.
   The owners should be charged with murders due to the inactions, the complaint said.
   "No day goes by without thinking of my daughter," Yoko Koiso, one of the five bereaved family members, told reporters. "I think this was a murder," said Koiso, the 71-year-old mother of Yuki Nishizawa, who was killed in the mudslide at the age of 44.
