I heard there was a cute girl in the next room. I broke the wall to touch her.
The man admitted the charge.
On April 24, Saitama Prefectural Police Nishi-Iruma Station arrested Keita Hariya, 43, an unemployed man living in Koga City, Ibaraki Prefecture, on suspicion of destruction of a building. Between April last year and March this year, he allegedly used a tool to break a wall in the attic of an apartment where his relative lived alone in the town of Muroyama, Saitama Prefecture. A college student in her twenties, Ms. A, lived in the room next to the relative’s apartment.
This is the second time the suspect, Hariya, has been arrested. The first arrest was on March 15. Around 5:30 p.m. the previous evening, he entered Ms. A’s room through the unlocked front door. He touched Ms. A, who was asleep.
When Ms. A woke up and screamed, he ran away. Upon receiving a report, the police arrested him on charges of indecent assault and breaking and entering. In the investigation that followed, it was discovered that the attic wall had been destroyed,” said a reporter from a national newspaper.
Headlights, ladders, and small cameras: ……
This is the second time the suspect, Hariya, has been arrested. The crime was committed in an unbelievable manner.
First, he made a duplicate key to the room without the permission of his relatives. While the relatives were out of the house, he entered the room and went into the attic through an inspection door in the bathroom ceiling, and allegedly made a hole in the 6-cm-thick plasterboard separating the room and Ms. A’s room that was thick enough to bend over to get through.
It is believed that the suspect often entered Ms. A’s bathroom through the inspection port as well.
Various items were found in the attic. Tools such as rotary cutters, headlights, ladders, and a small camera …….
The suspect was not only peeping into Ms. A’s life, but also filming it. I can only imagine how terrified Ms. A must have been when the crime was discovered. She was watched for a long period of time, and was also subjected to indecent acts. When asked by the investigators, Mr. Hariya said, “There is no doubt about it. I did it to satisfy my sexual desire.
The suspect had been planning to break down the wall at least six months in advance in order to touch Ms. A’s body.
