On the morning of October 1, a hotel staff, Hiromi Saeki, 56, was found murdered with her wrists bound in a hotel she worked at.
Saeki’s cause of death is known to be asphyxiation due to strangulation, or hemorrhagic shock due to stab wounds to her neck and abdomen.
Tens of thousands of yen in cash was taken from the hotel, but subsequent interviews with investigators revealed that Saeki’s bag and wallet were found at the reception where her body was found, with cash and a cash card remaining in the wallet.
There were multiple stab wounds and cuts to her neck and abdomen caused by a knife, and police are investigating as the perpetrator had strong intent to kill her.
