the attack happened at 9 a.m.? and the owner looked after him for the evening? Surely there's a misprint, otherwise the victim was seriously injured and held against his will for the whole day.

Yakuza have nothing to do with this, his family are very wealthy and the cops are either unwilling to act or incompetent (probably both). Like most cases, if you follow the money, they get solved.

I'm Catholic and also a teacher, religion has no place in public schools. If a parent feels that a religious aspect to education is so important, send them to a private school.
