One of Japan's most notorious and chilling killers will probably be back on the streets by the end of the year..the 20-year-old man who as a 14-year-old schoolboy savagely murdered two children -- a little girl whose head he smashed with a hammer, and a little boy whose head he severed and dumped at the gate of their school with a chilling note challenging police left in its mouth ... the Kobe's killer, who cannot be named because he was a minor when he committed his crime ...
... His real name, Shinichiro Azuma, is being withheld in Japan ...
