2 bodies found in freezer at dried seafood store in Shizuoka
SHIZUOKA —
Police said Thursday they are investigating the murder of a man and woman whose bodies were found at a dried fish store in Ito, Shizuoka Prefecture.
According to police, the store owner, 59-year-old Takako Shimizu, and manager Keigoro Obuchi, 71, were found dead in a walk-in freezer on Wednesday morning by one of the store’s employees, Sankei Shimbun reported.
Police said a knife was missing from the store and blood stains led to a table which had been pushed against the freezer door to keep it closed. Inside the freezer, the bodies of Shimizu and Obuchi had been propped up against a wall, police said. Both bodies had multiple stab wounds, police said.
Police say they believe that business had closed as usual on Tuesday night, and that some time after the store closed, the pair were murdered and their bodies dragged to the freezer.

It doesn't take a genius to see the Yak connection. Rubbed out gang land style.

If they find out who did this they should lock that person in a freezer, without stabbing. Let them freeze to death.

Stabbings are usually committed by family members, its up close and personal.

especially multiple stabs-- usually personal/ emotional outburst.
gangsters are usually good at getting rid of bodies so they are not found, or at least not found for awhile, and at the VEry least, not perfectly preserved in a freezer at the scene of the killing where all sorts of evidence and trails can be studied and surmised. Also, of course, (unless they have orders to cause pain) will be just one or two effective kill-stabs to take the target out, not multiple frenzied strikes.
