A Japanese court sentenced a man to life in prison on Wednesday (23 March) for the hijacking of a domestic flight.
34-year-old Yuji Nishizawa was found guilty of hijacking an All Nippon Airways flight, carrying some 500 passengers, in July 1999, and fatally stabbing the aircraft's captain. After killing the pilot Nishizawa briefly piloted the aircraft and descended to an altitude of 300m before he was overpowered by other crew members.
The court decided on a life sentence instead of the death penalty, judging that Nishizawa had diminished responsibility for his actions.
