Revealing the True Self of Saki Sudō, Former Wife of Don Juan of Kishu, Involved in Video Appearances and Idol Stalking

In her private life, Saki Sudo was a “Johnny’s fan” and was reportedly a fan of Yuta Jinguji from the group King & Prince (now known as Number_i).

“After Kosuke Nozaki’s death, Sudo used a private investigator to place a GPS tracker on Jinguji’s motorcycle to find his home, subsequently moving to a tower apartment in the same Shinagawa Ward. Although she lived on a relatively low floor, she managed to rent a space next to the parking area for Jinguji’s motorcycle. The car parking was mechanical, but the motorcycle parking was open, increasing the likelihood of encountering him. To facilitate this, she even obtained a motorcycle license. Her actions could be described as quite proactive, bordering on stalking. After Nozaki’s death and until her arrest, she spent lavishly, even purchasing two Porsches.” (said a former police officer)

On the other hand, there is little direct evidence that Saki Sudo murdered Kosuke Nozaki. This is why the prosecution has applied for an unusual number of 28 witnesses to build circumstantial evidence.

“The terms ‘not guilty’ and ‘innocent’ are completely different. Even if the evidence is a very dark shade of gray, the principle of ‘presumption of innocence’ means that without conclusive evidence, there’s still a chance of acquittal. Moreover, there have been past cases where, despite substantial circumstantial evidence, it turned out that ‘the real culprit was someone else.’ For this reason, this trial is likely to be very challenging.” (said a reporter from a national newspaper’s social affairs department)

Saki Sudo maintains her innocence. The trial could have a maximum of 25 sessions, with the verdict set for December 12.
