At an internet cafe in Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture, a 42-year-old suspect was arrested for taking a female employee as a hostage and staying in a private room. According to an interview with an investigative official, it was found that he was rushing in with a knife.
Police are investigating the details.
Koji Nagakubo (42), whose address and occupation are unknown, took a female employee in her twenties as a hostage at a private room booth at an internet cafe in Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture on the night of the 21st, and said that she had been standing up for about 5 hours on the 22nd. He was arrested on suspicion of imprisonment.
It means that women are protected and there is no difference in their lives.
According to investigators, the suspect had just been released in April after having a hostage-holding case at a credit union in Aichi prefecture 10 years ago.
"I was sick of my life. I thought I could go back to jail if I had an incident. I wanted to be sentenced to death or life imprisonment," he said in a police investigation.
Also, according to investigators, the store's security cameras showed a suspect with a utility knife walking down the hallway and breaking into a private room where employees were cleaning.
The police are going to analyze the security cameras and investigate the detailed situation.
