Setagaya Woman Murdered: She Had Consulted Police About “Trouble with Boyfriend Visiting from South Korea”… Officers Escorted Him to Airport, But He Never Left Japan

同庁三田署の交番には先月29日、バンさんから「韓国から来た交際相手に居酒屋で別れ話をしたら、怒って私の自宅に帰ってしまった。数日前には暴力を振るわれた」と相談があった。

 このため、署員がバンさん宅を訪れ、現場にいたパク容疑者にバンさんに近づかないよう口頭で指導。同署はバンさんに当分の間、避難するよう助言していた。

 パク容疑者は「大阪観光をしてから帰国する」と話し、署員が東京駅で新幹線に乗車するのを見届けた。パク容疑者は翌30日にバンさんのマンションを再び訪問。管理人の通報を受け、署員が千葉・成田空港まで同行し、保安検査場に入ったところまで確認したが、パク容疑者は帰国していなかったという。

On the 29th of last month, Ban consulted with the Mita Police Station’s local police box, saying, “When I told my partner, who came from South Korea, that I wanted to break up while at an izakaya, he got angry and went back to my home. A few days earlier, he had also assaulted me.”

In response, officers visited Ban’s residence and verbally instructed the suspect, Park, who was present at the scene, not to approach Ban. The station also advised Ban to take refuge elsewhere for the time being.

Park reportedly told the officers that he would “sightsee in Osaka before returning to South Korea,” and the police confirmed he boarded a Shinkansen at Tokyo Station. However, the following day, the 30th, Park returned to Ban’s apartment. After receiving a report from the building’s manager, officers accompanied Park to Narita Airport in Chiba and confirmed he entered the security checkpoint. Nevertheless, it was later determined that Park had not actually left the country.

  1. That’s a big oooof. But honestly I’m not sure what else the police could have done. He hadn’t done anything yet

  2. Thank you Japanese media for not censoring this monster’s name like the Korean govt and media do. Even the Korean Reddit is a complete disgrace.

  3. (Just the first two paragraphs of the article translated via Firefox… The quality is horribly poor)

    On the street in Nozawa, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, a woman collapsed with blood. The man ran away,” said the 110-year-old from an eyewitness. According to a senior Metropolitan Police official, the woman was cut off with a knife in her neck and was pronounced dead at the hospital where she was transported about an hour and 20 minutes later.

     The agency is investigating the whereabouts of the man who escaped. Two days earlier, he was arrested for murdering Park Yong-joon, 30, who was married at Haneda Airport in Ota Ward and whose address and occupation are unknown to the woman, and who is a female partner.

  4. You’re telling me that Japanese police might not take potential domestic violence seriously? Impossible!

    /s

  5. A more accurate headline would’ve been “Korean man Arrested for Murdering Korean Girlfriend in Satagaya”. Funny how they didn’t specify where the woman was from and made you all think it was native Japanese woman, lol
