Illogical comments

Nintendogirl, reckless made two guesses or assumptions and not just adultery. And I'm guessing he could also be wrong....

The lady was ten years older than her husband, a bit unusual in my culture. Secondly the stabbing was at 3:45am, not a good time for a middle aged couple to have an argument.

*No they didn't. They perhaps put the baby feet first in the toilet and tried to flush it where the torso clogged the toilet, thus the vacuum from the flushing caused the tender, thin new baby skin to be separated. *I've seen 2 cases like this before.

OMG what type of work do you do if you've to see something as horrid as this?

All good and valid comments here. To me the kid is a psycho and a coward. Random target, no, the kid picked what he thought was an easy target.

Sad in all senses and not much more can be said.

I had no difficulties understanding this article and it was reasonably straight forward to me. I think we are putting too much emphasis on the precise English and forgetting the message. ... The guy picked up what he probably thought was a young prostitute, an offence in Japan if he had traded money. Then he was blackmailed, another offence regardless if the blackmailers were paid.

This is the act of a very perverted nutcase. Predatory and primitive by nature. I wonder how he managed and got along with people in his everyday life.

57 is not old... yes a really stupid thing to do and I'm trying to speculate why a company man would do it and put his career on the line.

Ah yes, Japanese people and alcohol! Plus probably broke from all the drinking, really drunk and really, really hungry..... still hard to fathom, but has anyone else here ever done something really stupid when they were really drunk?

We do seem to hear a fair bit of this type of crime here. Maybe it is more common in Japan than other countries.

Also does it appear that places like Saitama, Chiba and Ibaraki are more overly represented in crime statistics?

The boy must of known the man if he warned the girl to run. Instinct should of made her look what she was to run away from. Was there a description of the attacker?

This is bizarre reasoning. Poor fish and it makes me wonder how they ever survived hundreds of years ago when there was little to no pollution.

I thought Wales played well, but the wallabies were hard done by with many decisions.

The refereeing needs to definitely improve.

No motive discussed, sounds like he is just another psycho.

@ Ex tanker.

One is small and lethal the other is big and can be lethal.

But if we must compare sizes, then how about removing crocodiles, that would be an awkward task though somewhat different to a bear.

It is sad that they wish to kill the problem rather than remove it. We have extremely venomous snakes here in Australia which can often get into people's properties and houses. The policy is to call a snake catcher who finds, captures and returns the snake to the wild.

It is possible that the snake could return, find another property or even bite a person wandering around, but they are not destroyed here and there are no shortage of snakes in Australia.

No memory of causing the accident and he was three kilometers down the road with the evidence all over his car.... does the no memory escape clause actually work in Japan?

Curious that the brother in law who actually committed the murder got life ina Thai prison in 2016 and she got the death penalty now. I wonder which one got the better deal...

The whole thing sounds suspicious to me. Let the police find the truth.

With accommodation and meals...

They just got lucky and managed to extend their vacations in Australia by 5 months.....

Pocketing any pension may of happened, but it is not mentioned in the article.

Do the Hustle offers another explanation of cold heartiness which would also be a major factor.

Her father died in January and she moved out, then her mother died not long after. Maybe the expense and sadness of her father's death then her mother's was all too much for her so she just walked away and ignored it?

They both had debts to some type of hosting club. Just shows the type of people who would get involved in this type of activity.

Maybe a silly question for this forum, but why was the murdered husband and the wife's surname different?

Melbourne came third? The list is somewhat debatable....

The whole story has some big gaps and question marks in it. With the information supplied here I would be very reluctant to speculate on what probably happened. There are two sides to every story and the information here is vague at best.

forests that home to rare species such as the Amami rabbit and Okinawa rail."

Unless I'm misinterpreting what an Okinawa rail is?

I'm wondering why this incredibly interesting and mentally stimulating article has received absolutely no comments from anyone but me? It is very important news after all...

Many UNI students are often on a tight budget, so they were most probably just chowing down on a bit of roadkill.

Statistics released on a previous post about foreign crime in Japan indicated Vietnamese were the highest offenders I recall. So I'm guessing due to statistics that the suspect is probably Vietnamese ;-)

@strangerland lol

Probably but I think there could be a bit more to it... e.g. were they too selfish to not care about the major disruption they will cause, or did they want to cause a major disruption to give themselves some type of notoriety?
