Top court upholds death penalty over 1998 curry poisoning case

TOKYO, Japan - Five Supreme Court justices sit at the No. 3 petty bench at the court in Tokyo on April 21 to hand down a ruling on Masumi Hayashi, who was sentenced to death by lower courts for killing four people and poisoning 63 others by lacing a curry stew with arsenic in Wakayama in 1998. The top court dismissed her not-guilty plea, bringing an end to a nearly decade-long trial process.
