5 Comments

Police in Toyota, Aichi Prefecture, have arrested two women on suspicion of abandoning the body of another woman in a mountain forest earlier this month.

According to police, the two suspects, Noriko Kadota, 36, who works in an adult establishment, and Kazuyo Ishikawa, 34, who is unemployed, have admitted to taking the body of the woman who was in her 20s, by car and dumping it on Feb 4, Fuji TV reported. The victim’s name has not been released.

Police said the two suspects knew the victim and quoted them as saying they regret their actions.

On Saturday morning, a male acquaintance of both suspects called 110 and said Kadota had killed someone. Police took Kadota and Ishikawa in for voluntary questioning.

The male acquaintance told police that Kadota and Ishikawa had been working at a hostess club and that there’d been some trouble between them and another woman, presumed to be the victim.

Well, good luck being a hostess in a jail cell. Sick crime. Justice shall be served.

I often go hiking in that area. I hope I don’t stumble across anything like that.

Kudos to the acquaintance who reported the crime risking his safety and peace of mind. Wonder if the perpetrators know who reported them.

There 's so much missing here. I wished they'd publish certain stories when they get the whole store so people can understand it fully.
