IIRC, they were both put on trial in China, and at least one, who was featured in something I read, was
later released and returned to Japan. And more recently the descendants of one or both of the men sued
the newspaper which carried the story, claiming that they had fabricated the headhunting contest. The
outcome of that I do not recall.

What of it?
