Show Notes

The 1940s Tokyo poisoning incident: Did they capture the right man? Episode sixty six.

This episode explores a baffling case from 1940s Japan, involving a mass poisoning incident that left 12 people dead after they consumed toxic pastries distributed by a mysterious figure, later dubbed the "Medicine Man." Initially, suspicion fell on a local pharmacist, who was subsequently arrested and charged with the crime.

Years later, questions persist about the true identity of the culprit. Was the pharmacist wrongfully convicted, or was he indeed the sinister man behind the poison? Join us as we navigate through the investigation, the evidence, and the doubts that cloud this eerie case.

This episode contains descriptions of violence. Please proceed with caution.
