Cook's crude abortion leaves woman, police seeing red

By Ryann Connell

Hitoshi Yamashita is now awaiting trial after pretending to be a top surgeon to lull a desperate woman into agreeing to undergo a backyard abortion (or at least one in the Japanese-style room of a buddy's home).

"The victim (identified only as Ms. A) used her mobile phone to contact an online bulletin board. She posted a message saying that she was pregnant, couldn't legitimately go through an abortion and begged for somebody to help her," a police investigation insider tells Asahi Geino. "Yamashita contacted the woman, telling her he was a gynecologist who had graduated from top medical colleges in Tokyo and Sendai and offering to perform the abortion. The woman believed him. They met on Nov. 24 and went to the nearby home of a friend of Yamashita's and Yamashita performed the operation in a Japanese-style room there."

Yamashita's procedure had ghastly results -- hardly an eye-opener considering the 30-year-old from Niiza, Saitama Prefecture, has been a cook for most of his life.

"Blood was spattered all over the tatami mat room and you could still see chunks of the woman's body fat scattered about the room," a reporter from a national daily tells Asahi Geino. "Yamashita was not a licensed medical practitioner and his surgery was deplorable. He didn't use anesthetic and kept the woman's stomach opened up from 7 p.m. until midnight. He'd cut her open with something like a scalpel, opening a gaping maw about 6 centimeters deep and extending 20 centimeters from the navel down and spreading horizontally. Fortunately, Ms. A's uterus wasn't damaged, but when Yamashita sewed her up, he did such a bad job, the hemorrhaging and pain didn't stop, so his buddy called for an ambulance to help the woman."

Yamashita ran off before the ambulance arrived. However, he was soon tracked down through mobile phone and e-mail records and arrested. He soon admitted to the allegations laid against him of inflicting bodily injury.

"He said he'd always yearned to be a doctor and had dreamed of one day performing surgery," the investigation insider says. "As well as the bodily injury case, we're looking into possible breaches of the Medical Practitioners Law."

Ms. A was eight months pregnant at the time of the procedure, too late by far to legally terminate a pregnancy.

"Ms. A has a boyfriend, but they hadn't even talked about marriage and she was getting worried," the hack says.

Yamashita's neighbors suggest he was destined to cause trouble.

"He went to a cooking vocational school as soon as he'd finished junior high. He worked in a Japanese restaurant up until about two years ago," one Niiza neighbor says. "He was pretty stupid and never struck me as the type who'd be interested in medicine."

Another neighbor says that Yamashita was best known in Niiza for living with his parents and riding around on his bicycle while chatting away on an ever-present mobile phone.

A woman in her 20s described him as being positively fearsome.

"Whenever his eyes met those of a school student, he'd sort of follow them around like some sort of stalker. He turned around and leered at me one day on the bus," she says. "His stares were really scary."

Perhaps even more frightening was the relationship Yamashita has with his parents, especially his mother.

"He was perpetually clinging to his mom. I remember his mom once coming to us to give us orders about how to cut his hair. I used to see him and his mom out shopping every day and remember thinking, 'that guy's besotted with his mom,'" a Niiza hairdresser tells Asahi Geino. "I've heard he had a girlfriend at one stage, but she fled to Oshima just to get away from him. He used to ride around this really old bicycle he'd bought about 10 years ago and then covered with all these decorations and mirrors."
