In December 2019, a prominent art professor in Massachusetts tried to kill "her beloved" colleague — she frantically beat her colleague with rocks, scissors and fire tongs, seriously injuring him.
Rie Hachiyanagi, a professor at Mannholyan Women's College, was charged with three counts including attempted murder. After nearly two years of investigation, the judge has now handed down a preliminary verdict, despite Hachiyanagi's refusal to plead guilty: the respected professor will face at least 20 years in prison. The final trial date will be set for October 18 this year.
Professors on trial
Hachiyanagi is a highly respected professor who has served as a professor of art and director of art studios at Manjorie College since 2004. Manjoline College is the first women's college in the United States, a core member of the "Seven Sisters College", and of course one of the most prestigious top liberal arts colleges in the United States.
The course of this incident is even more creepy. Investigators said Professor Hachiyanagi, 48, called 911 in the middle of the night on December 24, 2019, and said one of her colleagues was lying in a pool of blood and was running out of breath at her home in Leverett, Massachusetts.
When police arrived, Professor Hachiyanagi told police that her clothes were stained red with blood as she was holding her injured colleague.
But when police spoke to the victim afterwards, a dying woman told investigators that Professor Hachiyanagi was the one who hurt her. The victim suffered a fracture in the face, suffered a lot of skin trauma and contusions, and the blood flowed continuously. After a day of rescue in the hospital, he was freed from the danger of life.
On the evening of December 23, Professor Hachiyanagi drove uninvited to the victim's address, claiming that "I want to talk about my feelings, she needs help," according to police reports. ”

The victim was also a female professor at Manhoelian and was 60 years old. Remembering that the two had been working together at the school since 2005, they didn't think much about it, so they kindly let Professor Hachiyanagi into the house. She is also worried about what problems the other party cannot solve.
Professor Hachiyanagi entered the victim's room and suddenly told her that "he has loved her for many years." The victim said he was surprised and had no way to respond right away. Who knew that Professor Hachiyanagi had thus begun her inhumane beating. Hachiyanagi attacked victims with countless household items, such as rocks, scissors and fire tongs.
Modus operandi
In order to survive, the victim once lied and coaxed Professor Hachiyanagi: "I love you too, please stop!" However, Professor Hachiyanagai has lost his mind and has intensified, from punching and kicking at the beginning to abusing the victim with various tools.
After professor Hachiyanagi was arrested, she went so far as to claim that she did not remember anything after 6 p.m. that night and that she had a history of concussions that affected her memory. When police detained her, she was found carrying some of her victim's personal belongings, including keys, glasses and cell phones. All the evidence shows that she is the devil who poisoned her colleagues!
After the incident, the university suspended all work of Professor Hachiyanagi and banned her from entering the campus. In a statement, the principal wrote: "We take the safety and well-being of every member of the community very seriously. The school will provide support to all those affected by this incident as appropriate. ”
While this incident is creepy, it also sounded the alarm for Chinese students studying abroad. At any time, try not to be alone with unfamiliar people. Even if the other person is your professor, this does not rule out the possibility of accidents. Please be sure to choose some public venues for the meeting! This can greatly increase the safety factor.
I believe that the perpetrators of violence will be punished by the most severe punishment by the law! I hope that such tragedies can be less in the future!
