On the 3rd of this month, an elderly woman who lived alone was found murdered in a house in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture. A police interview revealed that it was captured on a security camera.
Police believe he was murdered within hours of being found dead and are investigating the details.
Yasuko Komatsu (85), who lived alone in the house in Nakoso-cho, Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture, was found murdered shortly after 7:00 p.m. on the 3rd of this month. We are investigating it as a robbery murder case because there was a mark.
In the investigation so far, it is known that the eldest son, who was unable to contact Mr. Komatsu and visited Mr. Komatsu's house after 7:00 pm, was found collapsed in the corridor near the entrance.
A subsequent investigation revealed that Mr. Komatsu was seen walking toward his home around noon that day on footage from security cameras in the area.
From the state of the body, it is believed that Mr. Komatsu was killed by being beaten to the back of the head with something like a blunt instrument on the day he was found. I'm looking into the details of what happened.
