He Ate His Classmate and Walked Free

In 1981, a horrific crime shocked Paris. But the aftermath shocked the world even more. The killer confessed to everything, yet he served 0 days in prison for murder. Instead, he became a celebrity.

This video is a deep dive into one of the most disturbing and baffling cases in modern history: the story of Issei Sagawa, often called "The Kobe Cannibal."

We examine how Sagawa, a wealthy Japanese student at the Sorbonne, murdered his brilliant classmate, Renée Hartevelt, and committed unspeakable acts. But the real twist isn't the crime itself—it's the unprecedented legal loophole between France and Japan that allowed a confessed monster to walk free and profit from his notoriety for decades.

How did the justice system fail Renée Hartevelt so spectacularly? Let's investigate.
