Female Suspect Allegedly Assaults and Tortures Ex Boyfriend for 5 Hours

“Ugh, oh no!”

Inside a car at dawn, when there was not a soul around. The man who was assaulted for a long time seemed to be screaming in agony.

 

By November 29, the Komatsugawa Police Station of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department had arrested three suspects, including Aimi Takiguchi, 21, of Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture, of unknown occupation, and Koji Taguchi, 21, of Taito Ward, Tokyo, on suspicion of arrest and confinement and robbery and assault. They are alleged to have conspired with a companion to confine a 19-year-old man, Mr. A, in a car, and to have subjected him to a horrific assault over a period of five hours.

“The incident occurred on October 20, 2022. The suspects allegedly violently assaulted Mr. A in his car, which they took from him in Matsudo City. The Takiguchi suspects held Mr. A captive from past midnight to just before 5:00 a.m. on the same day. They allegedly tied his wrists with a bandage and removed the fingernails of 10 fingers on both hands with a tool. Mr. A was also hit with a stun gun and suffered severe injuries, including bruises all over his body.”

“Ms. Takiguchi had been in a relationship with Mr. A in the past. She is alleged to have assaulted Mr. A by confining him. In response to police investigations, the three arrested suspects, including Takiguchi, deny any involvement in the crime, saying, “I had nothing to do with it.””

When the gruesome assault was reported, the Internet was abuzz with talk of the Takiguchi suspects being cute and beautiful. The three arrested were not only suspected of assault.

“They are alleged to have robbed Mr. A’s car, necklace, and money and goods worth 4 million yen, including about 200,000 yen in cash. The police are now pursuing the whereabouts of their accomplices, who are suspected to be involved in the case.”

The police are investigating the details of what kind of financial trouble existed between Takiguchi and Mr. A.
