Police in Chiryu, Aichi Prefecture, have arrested a 26-year-old man on suspicion of killing a 29-year-old man whose body was found in a ditch last month.
According to police, Koki Arima, whose occupation is unknown, is suspected of killing Masahiro Miura, 29, a resident of Okazaki, Aichi Prefecture, by stabbing him in his (Miura’s) car on the night of May 10 or early May 11, Tokai TV reported. Arima is also accused of stealing 142,000 yen from Miura, police said.
A man walking his dog along a rural road at around 6 a.m. on May 11 saw a car with the left front tire hanging over the ditch after it crashed through a wire fence, and called police. When police arrived and searched the area near the car, they found Miura’s body, covered with grass and soil, in the ditch. Police said he had been stabbed in the upper body and face 10 times.
Miura was last seen alive at around 5 p.m. on May 10. Police said their investigation revealed that Arima owed money to Miura.

Savage! This worthless already owed the poor guy money! Stabbed him 10 times in the face and chest for another ¥142000.
Family has to be wanting the rope for this irredeemable piece of dirt but it won’t bring someone’s son back.
Lock him away.

Poor bloke, probably agreed for payback and then took him at knifepoint to the countryside.
Society doesn’t need his kind walkin about in another 10 years.
Bury him away shirtless in a prison dank like that ditch and be done with him.

They will certainly lock him up but they won't string him up, not for just one murder.
