Sakakura's Heinous Crimes

Shige Sakakura was a Japanese baby farmer and serial killer who, along with accomplices Tsuta Oki and Naka Ikai, murdered around 200 infants between 1898 and 1913. Their crimes came to light when a geisha, denied access to her child, reported them to authorities. All three were hanged in 1915.
