Man attempts to withdraw money with dead woman's bank card
NARA —
Police on Sunday arrested a man for attempted theft and are questioning him over the death of a 60-year-old woman in Nara Prefecture.
The man has been identified as 34-year-old Shintaro Nagai from Nara Prefecture. According to police, on July 1, Nagai attempted to withdraw 200,000 yen using the missing woman’s bank card at a convenience store, but the transaction was refused when he entered the wrong PIN number.
Police say the woman, with whom he was acquainted, went missing some time last month. According to police, the man has confessed to burying the woman’s body in the mountains, but maintains that he had her permission to use her bank card. Following the suspect’s statement, police discovered remains that investigators said may be those of the deceased.
According to investigators, it has also come to light that the man has been dating the woman’s second daughter for around three years.

What a sad and yet twisted story. He sounds like a real scumbag.

Using the dead woman's cash card is the least of Nagai's problems at the moment. Unless the police are scrapping for any reason to arrest him.

I'm sorry, but these kinds of twisted incidents happen very often in Japan. He had her permission? WTF! When did he get it? As he was dropping her in the hole? Surely, if there was any truth to this statement he would have the PIN too. I hope the J-flops don't buy into this rubbish.

This reminds me of the celebrated case of Kazuyoshi Miura, who back in the late 1970s I think it was withdrew several million yen -- alimony paid by a former husband -- from the account of a woman named Shiraishi he'd been dating. Shiraishi's skeleton was identified years later in Los Angeles. She had been reported missing the same time Miura was visiting there. Neither the Japanese or US cops were ever able to build a case, but Miura was pursued until he could be extradited from Saipan. He reportedly committed suicide in the LA county jail.

There's information lacking here. Why would the polce get involved just because he entered the wrong PIN? Hell, I do that all the time with the wife's card. (She was still alive, though, last time I checked).

they have found the woman's skull, so it should be an easy case to prove.I am pretty sure he also said 'I disposed of her on Mt. Ikoma' which is why they have all this info.

miamum, got to have those priorities straight!
Never fear. I seriously doubt he will beat the murder charges that WILL come. Given that, who cares if he is a theif? At least he is not accused of smoking pot! Ha ha ha!

Did she give him permission to bury her too or will he be charged with the ole standby "abandonment of a body".

Weird story. Why would a wrong pin number bring in the police, unless the daughter called, said mom has not returned and her wallet is gone perhaps?
