June 4 marks one week since the murder of a woman and four police officers in Nakano City, Nagano Prefecture. At the scene of the incident, people were seen laying flowers to mourn the deceased.
On the 25th of last month, Yukie Murakami (66) and Yasuko Takeuchi (70), who live nearby in Ebe, Nakano City, were stabbed with knives, and Inspector Yoshiki Tamai (46) and Sergeant Takuo Ikeuchi (61) of the Nakano Police Station, who rushed to the station after receiving a report, were shot and killed with hunting rifles.
One day after the incident, people were seen mourning the victims by laying flowers and putting their hands together.
A man who lives in the neighborhood said, "I can't sleep because of the shock of the incident, and I put my hands together because I don't want this to happen again."
In this case, the police arrested Masanori Aoki (31) on suspicion of murder against Sergeant Ikeuchi, and will also investigate the suspicion of killing three others.
According to those involved in the investigation, the suspect stated that he was making fun of himself as the reason for attacking the two women, and the police believed that they were being bad-mouthed and unilaterally grew a grudge. In addition, the explanation to the effect that there was no plan was for the two police officers, such as "I killed them because I thought they would be shot."
On the other hand, the suspect's family said that they were bullied when they were said to be alone when they were in college, and they overreacted to those words, so the police are also investigating the motive and mental state at the time of the incident.
