I never read or heard anything about this. Why commit suicide?? Extremely sad and unreal of what people are dealing with in life.

If they loved eachother thats romantic, maybe they just wanted to be together, i would kill myself with my girlfriend if she asked me to and that was really what she wanted because i love her so much

If I ever spend the night in a Saitama hotel, I hope it's not in this very room of this particular hotel.

I would gladly die saving a loved one, but never die because they asked me to join them. At a loss of words.

Sounds more like a murder suicide to me , red marks on his neck and chest (I wish they would report scratch marks, rather than be so vague). A love affair gone wrong ?

It is very rude to go to a hotel and mess up their rooms with something like a suicide. Think of the poor maid who opened the door to clean the room and saw this situation, which she will carry all her life. The hotel probably had to shut down and the room can't be rented as it is a crime scene for a while. These two were not homeless so why didn't they commit suicide in their apartments which would have been easier on everyone.

One J cop to the other..."If we call it a joint suicide instead of a double murder, then it's case closed"
