Expensive that a father paid with his life
to show his daughter what "friend" she should immediately dump.

I'll bet a hundred yen that he says, "Yes, I stabbed him in the neck. But, I didn't intend to kill him", when they arrest him.

Wake up, Japanese have been killing people with knives since like forever. Just because you are just reading about now, doesnt mean it just started today.

The house is not a meeting place for strangers.

Who needs enemies with friends like that?

A photograph, if available, of the wanted man might help in catching him.
