Twenty-four years ago, in 1996, a student at Rikkyo University was beaten and killed by a man at JR Ikebukuro Station in Tokyo, and the Metropolitan Police Department virtually ended the investigation without being able to identify the suspect.

The Metropolitan Police Department plans to send documents with unknown suspects soon.

In April 1996, Satoru Kobayashi (21), a fourth-year student at Rikkyo University, was beaten and killed by a quarreling man at the platform of JR Ikebukuro Station in Tokyo.



The criminal who escaped from the scene has not been arrested, and the Metropolitan Police Department has continued the investigation by switching the charges from injury lethality to non-prescription murder.



However, I couldn't get a strong clue, and my father, Kunisaburo (75), said, "I've done enough investigation. I want the investigator in charge to deal with other cases." In effect, the investigation has been completed.



The Metropolitan Police Department plans to send documents with the suspect unknown soon.



According to the Metropolitan Police Department, we will continue to accept information about the incident.

Father "Put all your energy into other cases"

Satoru Kobayashi's father, Kunisaburo, said, "I have asked you to discontinue the investigation so that you can devote all your energy to other incidents that are currently occurring. I was saddened by the incident and accident. I hope that the feelings of those who are doing it will clear up as much as possible. "
