How could someone have so much debts here in Japan? I thought we all gaijins save every Yen we earn here ....

Those guys (Iranians) all carry knives and will murder without a second thought. They were always cutting each other up about their turf areas in Roppongi and Shinjuku. I am quite sure they do the street dealing for the Yaks and when they come up short or a lot they get the knife and then the trunk. In the US it would be treated a s a homocide regardless of race and color. I am quite sure the cops care less and the paperwork is heading to the case closed box. One less hard criminal on the streets and even a western banker or professional wouldnt get any CSI either, me included. As my old boy says. The Yaks only care about one thing...Money. My guess it was one of his own, however.

Another innocent, hardworking, tax-paying, international member of society murdered by racist, xenophobic, criminal Japanese.

Non-Mohammedans here in the used car business have some stories that would surprise anyone who automatically assumes the victim was 'hard-working, tax-paying' or even Iranian for that matter.

second thought mate... ask any guy who has lived here over 10 years and he will give the same "back"...

Don't know what anyone here is bitchin about. I talked to my buddy on the police force and they said it was now being investigated as a suicide.

he could have slipped on a knife repeatedly, and slumped over the horn when trying to drive himself to hospital. The fire could be explained by a cigarette falling to the carpet after he lost consciousness due to blood loss

There you go, myth busted!!

Typical. Its suicide in Japan done the Iranian way... only instead of jumping in front of trains, its stabbing yourself and then blowing your car to smithereens in the name of Allah!

And the police are investigating? Hello? Does anyone care that someone was just murdered?

People talk about how Japanese are prejudicial, but most of the commentaries are very racists and generalist. "Japaneses are like this, japaneses are like that, typically japanese behaviour...ETC" Sorry for my crappy english.

This Iranian man must have been murdered, poor dear, hope it's not a trend against foreigners!

I think the stats for Iranians in Japanese prisons is very high.

Not sure what the figure is, but it is disproportional.

it may have been drug related... a friend on the police force has mentioned that Iranians move a lot of drugs in Aichi... but we'll likely never know....
