About this listen

In this episode today, we explore the chilling series of unsolved poisonings known as the Paraquat Murders or the vending machine murders, where an everyday convenience of accessing a quick drink became lethal, victims were chosen at random, and a nation known for its safety was gripped by fear.

With no arrests, no clear motive, and no single suspect, this case remains one of Japan’s most disturbing mysteries, a horrifying reminder that even the most ordinary moments can hide something deadly.
