7 Comments

Police in Yokohama are investigating the deaths of a man and a woman whose bodies were found in a Yokohama hotel room on Monday, in what they believe may have been a murder-suicide.

According to police, an employee called 110 and said that a couple who had been due to check out of the hotel in Konan Ward had not responded and that the door to their room was locked, Sankei Shimbun. Police entered the hotel room at around 11:25 a.m. and found the two bodies.

Police said the woman, who was in her late teens or early 20s, was face down on the bed, bleeding from a stab wound to the upper half of her body. The man, who appeared to be in his late 30s or early 40s, was found hanging near the door. Both were confirmed dead at the scene, and two knives were found in the room.

Police said the couple checked into the hotel on Sunday morning.

I'll gladly be the first.

My money is on she wanted to break up with him. And, the fragile ego of the guy couldn't handle it.

Any other theories?

What a strange and too excessive use of the number 2. Second largest city, two people, one with double the age, two knives at the scene, two dead. Was the room number also 2? We don't know. But the digits of the police call number 110 summed up is again, you guess it, 2. Now, I expect at least or exactly 2 thumbs down. Don't disappoint me twice. lol

Don't disappoint me twice. lol

This is an article about two people that died, people that may have family and friends that will have to deal with this tragedy and whatever event that ended up this way.

Do you really feel is the kind of article to make fun of?

No, I have some idea, based on past history of such crimes, and like to theorize.

You seem a tad sensitive regarding people theorizing about crimes.
