TIME PERIOD
February 28, 2016
VICTIMS
14 confirmed
On March 14, 2013, a mass stabbing incident occurred at the Kawaguchi Suisan fish-processing firm in Etajima, Hiroshima, Japan, where a Chinese exchange student, Chen Shuangxi, attacked his co-workers with a shovel and a knife. The attack resulted in the deaths of two individuals, Nobuyuki Kawaguchi, 55, and Masako Hashishita, 68, while six others sustained injuries. The incident was reportedly motivated by a misunderstanding, as Chen believed he had been insulted by his colleagues. As of now, Chen has been apprehended and is undergoing legal proceedings, with investigations focusing on his mental state at the time of the attack.
There is a belief that many mass stabbings, particularly in schools, are driven by underlying social issues such as mental health crises or societal pressures. Some speculate that the prevalence of such incidents in China may be linked to the country's strict regulations on firearms, leading individuals to resort to knives as an alternative means of violence. Additionally, there are theories suggesting that media coverage of these events may inspire copycat attacks, perpetuating a cycle of violence.
