In December last year, a 12-year-old woman was stabbed to death with a knife at a karaoke shop near Nagoya Station, and the suspect who was arrested was suspected of killing another 20-year-old woman who was found dead in an apartment building in Nagoya City.
On the 26th of last month, a 4-year-old woman was stabbed to death with a knife at a karaoke parlor in Meieki 20-chome, Nakamura-ku, Nagoya, and the suspect Haruki Soga (25), a self-proclaimed sex shop clerk, was arrested on the spot and sent to the public prosecutor's office on suspicion of murder.
At the time of his arrest, the suspect Soga said, "I also killed another woman by submerging her in the bathtub," and the body of a 30-year-old woman who was believed to be a resident was found in the bathroom of the apartment in Osu, Naka-ku, Nagoya, where the suspect is believed to have lived.
As a result of the police investigating the condition of the body and the footage of security cameras around the apartment, it was found that the suspect Soga was suspected of killing this 30-year-old woman as well, and decided to re-arrest him on suspicion of murder on the 16th.
The suspect said that he had made a statement to the effect that he had done it out of desperation in response to the investigation after his arrest, and the police are investigating in detail the relationship between the two women and the motive of the incident.
