Taiwanese Students Murdered in Tokyo
The Japanese media is reporting that two Taiwanese women have been found stabbed to death at an apartment building in Tokyo.
The women, 22 and 24 years old, were students at the Intercultural Institute of Japan, a language school located in Tokyo’s Taito ward. The apartment building was being used as a dormitory for international students attending that school.
One woman was found dead in the entrance of the room, still wearing her boots. Another was found inside the room. The murder weapon was nowhere to be found in the room. The room had been locked, but there was no key inside the room.
Speculation: It appears that an intruder may have followed one woman home, attacked her when she was entering her room, and then killed the woman who was already in the apartment. Or the woman in boots may have been returning to a room where a murder was in progress. Or the murderer could have attacked as one woman was preparing to leave the room.
Update: The Yomiuri reports that police are looking for a male student who nobody has been able to contact since the incident. The nationality of the student has not been reported.
Photos of the victims and the police investigation can be found at the Epoch Times.
