Very tragic. Let's hope this is resolved soon.

Cement blocks must have fallen off. Seems like a mafia hit to me.

How do you all know a guy did it?

And some Japanese media say a large quantity of water was found in the woman's lungs. In other words, she was presumably thrown into the water alive and drowned. Um. Just the thought of it makes me shiver.

Sad. Hope she can have a good funeral.

Poor woman... hope they find the scum who did this.

From another source:
Police believe that the woman was thrown into the water while alive and drowned. According to Nippon News Network (July 30), the woman died the day before her body was discovered.

The Japanese news is all over this this morning. I'm surprised Japan Today has nothing on it, considering the guy is American. But maybe none of their news sources has reported on it yet, so they don't have anything for us.
The suspect is an event promoter putting on music events. He lives in Yokohama's Hodogaya ward, with his wife and kids.

Probably a crime by her boyfriend.

I hope this woman is at peace and I hope this woman will have justice in the end.
