Iwao Hakamada was sentenced to be hanged for the murder of a family of four in 1968 but DNA evidence later cast serious doubts on his conviction
He was sentenced to death in 1968, with later attempts to retract his “forced” confession rejected in a Supreme Court hearing in 1980.
Supporters have highlighted how a key piece of evidence used to convict him was blood-stained clothing that came to light more than a year after the crime. She said: “I will only tell him to rest assured, because we got a good result. Now, I just need to make sure I can see the retrial begin.”
