Reference News Network, November 22 report. According to Kyodo News, on November 22, a member of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force was arrested for attempted murder. A woman in her 40s was seriously injured in Tokyo's Akasaka area several days ago.
The suspect, 43-year-old Koizumi Yichiro (音), denies the charges. According to the investigation and other sources, the suspect is a second-class airman (Jieitai) stationed at the Asaka Garrison of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force in Nerima Ward, Tokyo, and is a acquaintance of the woman.
On the morning of the 16th, a man was seen riding a bicycle away from the scene. The stabbing occurred outside a live music venue in the basement of a building. The woman was a musician who was scheduled to perform later that afternoon.
It is believed that Koizumi left the Asaka Garrison around 6:30 a.m. on the 16th and arrived near the attack site around 8 a.m. It is suspected that he stabbed the woman around 10:30 a.m.
Surveillance footage shows a man clearly identified as Koizumi following the woman into the building. About 30 seconds later, he came out of the building. A source from the investigation previously said that his shoes seemed to be covered with plastic bags, possibly to cover footprints. (Translation by Feng Xue)
