死亡女性が１３０万円提示　「お金払っても死にたい」―ＡＬＳ患者嘱託殺人

　難病の筋萎縮性側索硬化症（ＡＬＳ）患者の林優里さん＝当時（５１）＝から依頼を受け薬物を投与し殺害したとして、嘱託殺人容疑で医師２人が逮捕された事件で、林さんが大久保愉一容疑者（４２）＝仙台市＝側に１３０万円の支払いを提示していたことが２７日、捜査関係者への取材で分かった。
　林さんは事件直前の２０１９年１１月下旬、山本直樹容疑者（４３）＝東京都港区＝の口座に、２日に分けて５０万円と８０万円を振り込んでおり、京都府警は両容疑者への報酬とみている。
　捜査関係者によると、削除されたインターネット交流サイト（ＳＮＳ）のやりとりなどを復元したところ、林さんが大久保容疑者に「お金を払ってでも死にたい」という趣旨を繰り返し伝えていたことが判明。同容疑者が山本容疑者の口座番号を林さんに教え、林さんが現金１３０万円の入金を提示していたという。（2020/07/27-18:03）

A woman with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, proposed a payment of 1.3 million yen to one of two doctors who allegedly killed the patient of the intractable disease at her own request, investigative sources said Monday.
   In late November, the ALS patient, Yuri Hayashi, 51, transferred 500,000 yen and 800,000 yen to the bank account of Naoki Yamamoto, 43, on two different dates.
   The Kyoto prefectural police came to suspect that the money was offered as a reward for Yamamoto and another doctor, Yoshikazu Okubo, 42, after recovering deleted messages Hayashi exchanged with Yamamoto on a social networking site, the sources said.
   According to the sources, the messages clarified that Hayashi repeatedly expressed her wish to die even by paying money due to the progressive nervous system disease and offered to transfer 1.3 billion yen to Yamamoto's account after he informed her of his account number.
   Yamamoto and Okubo were arrested Thursday for allegedly killing Hayashi by administering a drug to her at her apartment in the city of Kyoto, western Japan, on Nov. 30 last year, after the money was transferred.
