In this gripping episode of "Matcha, Masala, and Murder," hosts Sharmane Fury and Rhia Maîr Kaur discuss the chilling tale of Sada Abe, a woman whose intense love led to a shocking and gruesome crime. Sharmane recounts the passionate, month-long affair between Sada and her lover, Kichizo Ishida, exploring the boundaries of their relationship through edging kinks like asphyxiation and knife play. The narrative takes a dark turn when Sada's love transforms into obsession, ultimately culminating in her murdering Ishida in his sleep and removing his private parts. Sharmane details the tragic aftermath as Sada, driven by a desire for eternal unity, planned to end her own life but was captured before she could carry out her intentions. The hosts skillfully unravel the layers of this true crime story, exploring the complex emotions and societal factors through a cultural context lens that contributed to this disturbing crime in Japanese history.
