Authorities accused Mr Hakamata of murdering the family, setting their house in Shizuoka alight and stealing 200,000 yen (£199; $556) in cash.
"We had no idea what was going on," Hideko says of the day in 1966 when police came to arrest her brother.
The family home was searched, as well as the homes of their two elder sisters, and Mr Hakamata was taken away.
He initially denied all charges, but later gave what he came to describe as a coerced confession following beatings and interrogations that lasted up to 12 hours a day.
