Unemployed Satoru Umeta used a 50-centimetre (20-inch) saw, onto which he had fastened box cutter blades, to injure Rina Kawaei and Anna Iriyama, now both 19 years old, in May last year. Both singers suffered broken bones in their right hands, and cuts on their arms and heads during the incident in Iwate, northern Japan. The presiding judge at the Morioka District Court said Umenta, 24, had done something "cruel and very hazardous, which could have taken people's lives". "The fear the victims had during the event, where they were meeting with fans, and the mental damage were significant," judge Takehiko Okada said.
