SAIAMA (TR) – Earlier this year, Daisuke Nishimura went on 90-minute rampage — while fully nude — across multiple cities in the prefecture that left one person dead and about 10 people injured, reports Fuji News Network (July 14).
Since the incident, police have accused Nishimura of trespassing, using kakuseizai (methamphetamine) and other crimes. On Monday, they accused him of murder, his sixth charge.
At 9:40 p.m. on April 21, a car driven by Nishimura allegedly rammed two motorcycles in Saitama City’s Midori Ward. A 46-year-old local office worker, Mitsunobu Yoshida, who was riding one of the motorcycles was killed and another man, 45, suffered serious injuries.
In commenting on the latest allegations, Nishimura said, “I was thinking of killing myself. There is no doubt that it was me who did it.” But he also denied the charge of murder. He added, “I did not intend to kill the motorcyclist.”
Police believe that Nishimura’s rampage began at around 8:13 p.m. in Kawaguchi City. A resident alerted police about “a suspicious tattooed man driving slowly through a residential area.”
About 20 minutes later, Nishimura used the vehicle he was driving to plow into a convenience store in Kawaguchi City.
The rampage ended at 9:40 p.m., when Nishimura allegedly broke into a juku cram school in Saka. He also allegedly assaulted a 14-year-old middle school girl by pulling her arm and hitting a 59-year-old teacher on the head with a drinking mug.
