Kind of late to do it now, I think.

So, why didn't he shout for help while he was taken to the ATM??

No need to write the victim's name.

I hear that many elderly people still do not lock their doors. Time to do it, I guess.

Why would anyone downvote "Happy birthday and stay safe"??

Good job by the police, but I wonder if the police would have investigated that much if the owner had been a middle-aged man known to have a drinking problem.

There is probably more to this story than what we get here. Otherwise, why would a person from Yokohama go all the way to "kidnap" a person in Sendai, travel with her on a train, etc. etc.? Did they know each other? That is the first question the journalist should ask.

"Summarily suspended"? Like, fired? Or just temporarily suspended?

A nail-biting election?

His pension was probably not enough to make a decent living. RIP.

Can this be right? Just a one-meter wall?

To be exact, he was the half brother of the former prime minister.

Why was he allowed to live in NZ after his student visa expired? I guess it did, or was he on a student visa for 10 years?

Completely unnecessary to publish the name of the victim.

@admin

"Zviad Gogotchuriwho" Is the name correct?

Misleading title. Because he didn't jump at all, he FELL from the elevated bridge. The video shows it clearly.

Of course, the snake did everything it could to escape from that tiny wooden box it was being held in. Wild creatures shouldn't be kept in cages or boxes for the pleasure of humans.

Cut their pay by 99% for a year. Then they will definitely try to change their ways.

Isn't "one month" and "four weeks" more or less the same thing?

Maybe he is suffering from a serious mental disease, and that is why his name has not been made public.

There's often more to these stories than what we get. Mental health issues, etc.

A photo would have been nice.

@Jonathan Prin: You are absolutely right. Even if the possibility that he is not the culprit is just 1%, his name should not have been published until a guilty sentence has been handed down. Learn from Germany, Japan.

Unfortunately, all the money he has been awarded, and then some more, will go to his lawyers.

Don't forget that he suffers from a serious mental disease.

Do they seriously believe that it will help?

Does anyone know why the vaccination will start so late in Japan, compared with the US and Europe?

So, what happened between 8:30 PM and 11 PM? Did the police/ambulance go to the house?

Mental disease, no doubt.

No excuse for what she did, but her pension is probably about 50-60 000 yen a month. Not enough to live on.
