Kumamoto University Researcher Murder Case A statement admitting the murder of a man arrested on suspicion of abandoning a corpse September 15 9:40

A 67-year-old man arrested on suspicion of abandoning his body in the murder of a female researcher at Kumamoto University in Kumamoto City told police that he had made a statement admitting the murder. I found out in the interview.

On the 7th of this month, Chisato Narahara (35), a researcher at Kumamoto University who lives nearby, was found murdered in a side ditch on the side of the city road in Honjo, Chuo-ku, Kumamoto City. Kazuhiro Kumagai (67), an unemployed person who was a cleaner of the apartment he lived in, was arrested on suspicion of abandoning his corpse.



According to previous investigations, Kumagai is believed to have contacted the woman on the 6th, the day before the body was found, and contacted her after the evening, and abandoned the body until that night.



In addition, an interview with an investigative official revealed that he had made a statement to the police that he had killed the woman.



The police said that Kumagai lived alone in an apartment building right next to the site where the body was abandoned, and that he fled to the northern part of the prefecture when he learned that the incident had been reported. I'm investigating.
