Police said Saturday they have arrested a man on suspicion of dumping the body of his ex-lover in the woods.
The man, who has been named as 60-year-old design company manager Katsumi Ando, is believed to have invited kindergarten teacher Yoko Matsui out for a drink on May 7, following which she disappeared. Her body was found on May 12 in a mountainside forest around 30 meters downhill of the road. According to police, Matsui had been stabbed in the chest and her body dumped in the forest in Mizunami, Fuji reported.
According to police, Ando and Matsui have known each other for 16 years and used to be a couple, despite the fact that Ando has a wife and children. During questioning, Ando allegedly confessed to dumping Matsui's body in the woods.

Well, no bias there.
You could have just said she used to be his mistress and not take a swipe at other people's lifestyles with a word like "despite".

Perhaps they, like most members of society, do not consider cheating on your spouse to be a good lifestyle choice.

What a waste....she probably had other plans and told him that things had to end and he got all emotional. The end was probably scary for both parties. If I were him, I would have dug a hole first. Dumping a body is to conspicuous and not to mention smelly. The deeper the better.

Well said Ben Jack. Going after married men when you are single is probably not the best lifestyle choice either. At the very best it is complicated. At worst - this happens. some married men want to have their cake and eat it too. Why lower yourself to being someone elses "cake"?

what it's not written here is that he also withdraw money from her bank account after he killed her.

Turns out Ando is nothing but a scumbag, philanderer and murderer. Time to pay.

Well put Cowboy Ted - the modern world is big enough to contain all lifestyles and the thought that ancint ideas on family are all the we can hope for are illogical and restraining.
