Man arrested for killing woman and disposing of her body in mountains of Ehime
MATSUYAMA —
A 23-year-old man was arrested on Sunday suspected of murder and abandoning a corpse, after a 21-year-old girl was found dead in the mountains of Matsuyama City in January. Ryo Kawai, a 23-year-old certified care worker at an old people’s home in Iyo City, is accused of strangling Yoshie Nishiyama, 21, to death in his car and dumping her body down the side of the road early in the morning on Jan 23.
Nishiyama’s family called police later that day after not being able to contact her, and police found her body on Jan 24 at around 1 p.m. Police checked her cell phone and found emails from Kawai on the night of her death.
Kawai told police he met Nishiyama through a cell phone dating site and that they had gone driving up the mountains for the night view, and got into an argument on the way back down. He has admitted to strangling Nishiyama and leaving her body down the side of the mountain, but has not yet said what they argued about, police said.

Many of commentators were expressing their views towards this killing, and they were right. The funny part is that he got nabbed by 'cell phone' and we should be grateful that such technology is in existence. Now we will wonder what they were arguing about. It is just unbelievable that a person holding position as 'certified care worker' could become killer. Did he lost his marbles or did she give him a boot?

"Girls" seem to be getting older all the time!!!
Sounds like they got the right guy. If he never gets out of prison, I won't complain. It's where he belongs. For life.

It seems to be a women getting killed kind of week with the Japanese news. Kind of like scarring single women into locking their doors and not going out. Still until you know someone I guess it pays to do that whole couple dating thing.

Women in Japan might have to settle for pets as companions.

Today the news is absolutely sick. Murders, groping judges. I dont care what anyone says. This country is quite dangerous now and I dont care how many National Police stats you have. Lucky Im a recluse and a Daddy now in bed at 11. Beside the nutters I see looking for something to do or kill while drinking at noon in the park.
