It's less annoying for visitors. Of course, I've heard more than one 20 year "visitor" offer that very same lame excuse.
The point is, if foreigners in Japan are too lazy to learn Japanese, what right do they have to demand Japanese people learn English just to make their lives easier?

I agree with the post directly above. The six, if they ever even learn that they were among those named, will likely forget about the whole thing before they finish high school.

Two reasons this story is unintentionally amusing:
1) the first people the investigators thought to question were apparently fellow police officers
2) even with a key, the idiot police lieutenant couldn't manage to get inside the house
