    Lot of murder victims are being found by their boss when the victims don't show up for work. I've never had a boss that concerned about my wellbeing to come if I were absent.

    Condolences to Ms Suzuki's parents and family.

    the timeworn japanese lame attempt to 'stab his stomach' and die 'nobly' after committing murder. the next stabbing this 25 year old child gets wont be in the stomach, and it wont be a knife if you catch my drift...

    does this pattern of crimes have something to do with the romanticization of suicide and murder suicides in classical Japanese literature perhaps? When young people are taught that murder-suicide in the name of love is beauty of a higher order, especially during impressionable teenage years, its not surprising to see the trend continue in real life. Just like in America with gun violence reflecting the action movie industry, and my own country, where there are wannabe gangsters trynig to emulate American popculture through hiphop etc... Just a thought
