Wife and Daughter Stabbed by Brazilian Fugitive Husband Tattooed with Dragon and Skull — Story and Photo

The suspect, Robson, is currently believed to be on the run in Brazil. As mentioned at the beginning of this article, he has admitted to his lawyer that he killed Aimi, but denies having laid a hand on Lily. The investigation is likely to drag on for quite some time.

As long as the suspect is in Brazil, the Japanese police cannot touch him. Japan has extradition treaties only with the United States and South Korea. Even if we put out an APB, we can’t bring Robson back to Japan. Currently, we have no choice but to rely on the Brazilian authorities’ “proxy punishment.”

There is also the means of an international wanted person, but the procedure is very complicated. First, the Osaka Prefectural Police, in cooperation with the National Police Agency, makes a request to the ICPO (International Criminal Police Organization) and other relevant agencies. However, the documents to be submitted must be in Portuguese, the official language of Brazil. In the meantime, there is a good chance that Robson will flee to a third country.

The investigation into the murder of a mother and her child is likely to be a difficult one. However, it is absolutely unacceptable for the suspect to get away with it.
