Two bodies found in suitcases in Japan woods: media
Two bodies found stuffed inside suitcases
abandoned in mountainous forest near Tokyo are suspected to be
missing Chinese sisters, local media reported today.
Police officers reportedly found the corpses
folded inside the bags at two separate sites in the woods late
yesterday.
Police suspect that the bodies are those of two
female Chinese restaurant workers, aged 22 and 25, who were living in
Yokohama and missing since last week, according to reports.
A man in his 30s caught on a surveillance
camera at the sisters' apartment before they went missing has
been identified as a suspect.
Kanagawa prefectural police refused to comment
yesterday's discovery when contacted by AFP.
Grisly murder cases often grab headlines in Japan,
though the country is known as one of the world's safest with an
annual murder rate of less than one per 100,000 people.
Last year, the body of a Chinese woman who had
been missing for over two years was found inside a suitcase floating
in a Tokyo canal.
Local media said the victim was 34-year-old Yang
Mei, who came to Japan in 2013 as a trainee, one of the tens of
thousands of foreigners -- mostly from China, Vietnam and Indonesia
-- who participate in a massive government labour programme.
In 2015, the body of a woman was found in a
suitcase that had been left in a locker at Tokyo station, one of the
world's busiest rail hubs, by a a baggage storage company.
The suitcase was kept for a month at the luggage
storage room after no-one collected it.
