I'm not sure what the point is of mentioning the Philippines here.

If you read the article it should be pretty obvious. It's literally in the 3rd paragraph.

Oshio was beaten to death and had three luxury wristwatches stolen on Jan 19. Four other men were arrested in February on suspicion of carrying out the crime.

Hopefully four lengths of rope are being prepared - with the names Imamura, Watanabe, Fujita and Kojima on them.

It will be a good and righteous day when those ropes are put to use.

Rest in Peace to the poor old woman - who lived a full life only to have it violently and cruelly ended by worthless street trash.

There, I fixed it to save any racial confusion.

These pathetic thugs are targeting the elderly. They are such big tine crims that they beat a 90 year old lady to death for a few watches. Do the works a favor and throw them in a deep dark hole and leave them there forever.

murder for watches. Doesn't get much uglier than that. Hope they stay away for the rest of their lives.

Notice MUST be served.

Indefinite detention for these goobers and the uber-goobers that carry out these crimes.

Ordering it from a foreign country won't protect them an notice .just be served.

What a freak story.

4 grown up men beating a 90 year old lady to death. Come on guys, I take on all four of you at the same time and make you feel the horror and agony of your poor victim.

Rest in peace brave lady, I pray for you.

How did they know this 90-year-old lady had a collection of luxury watches?

Someone working in business may have leaked this "intel" to this criminal gang to target her.

That need to be investigated as well. Organized criminals need an inside source/lead.

HORROR OF HORRORS!

HOW Horrible Can These Four Men Get?

They Can Now Be Served MORE HORRIBLY Than Their Horrible Crime on the poor ninety-year old woman.

I'm not sure what the point is of mentioning the Philippines here.

All of the criminals are Japanese, and the murder of a Japanese lady took place in Japan.

It's a way to claim that crime won't take place if they were still in Japan, because Japan is safe country. Another way to show it's being influenced by Philipines.
