Man arrested after 3 found dead in house in Kagoshima Pref

@Zichi

I read the article, and then I read your summarized outline. Sometimes some of the crimes I read about in Japan are so weird and convoluted, that it helps to have a more outlined summary of events, like the one you wrote, just to make sure I’m understandng it correctly.

their reluctance to do anything to ameliorate the conditions which foment such ultra-madness is worth a shot

And what "conditions" would these be that need state intervention to ameliorate? You do not say and it is not immediately obvious from the report.

Were they really found dead or only in cardiorespiratory arrest?

"Tomohiro Iwakura, was arrested on suspicion of strangling one of the three victims to death."

Suspicious yeah.. yeah ya dont stop..its 187 on that J-trio, and its like that cause that's the way it is.
