So here's a question for you brainiacs - who was it that created those images and released them to the media?.

It is amazing how many people will argue on here, yet have such little knowledge of what happened in this case over the last week. People who think that…

So here's a question for you brainiacs - who was it that created those images and released them to the media? Now don't think too hard about that, it may tie up your limited reasoning capacity and impact your ability to "teach" later today...

Dear brainiacs, it was the photographer…

My opinion is that I am sick of the posters here saying what a good job the police did. These cops that did such a good job, they hadn't even been checking photographic records from cosmetic surgery clinics around the country (because it was the clinic assistant who forwarded the…

Betting, I have never expected a 100% arrest rate. It does not happen anywhere. But for such a high-profile murder case, the mistakes made are inexcusable. And a tough arrest rate does not mean that we should not push for much more professional investigations. It does not excuse the bad…

Hundreds of vultures out in the rain with their mobile cameras and umbrellas live on TV surrounding the police van with Ichihashi inside. Very sad people.

zander, I think the small risk of a helicopter accident with Japan's most wanted might have put the kaibosh on that. And it is after dark. Although I agree with your point how the cops are going to milk this for all it's worth and as if they have done…

In any other country a new story such as this would not draw hundreds of spectators with their mobile phone cameras and frenzied news coverage treating him like some celebrity. Other nations would be hanging their heads in shame at such a disgrace of a fellow countryman. People here are…

They have his arrival on the shinkansen at Tokyo eki on live right now. As well as the expected media scrum, there are hundreds of vultures waiting with their mobile phone cameras treating this monster like some kind of film star and waving at the news cameras. And it's midnight…

Remember it was not a foreigner who helped but the fantastic people of japan.

Today is not really a day to be claiming that the people of Japan are in some way superior to non-Japanese. Let me remind you, this very sad story is of a Japanese person who tortured…
