The suspect’s mother reveals the “path to the murderous act” of the girl bar waitress who was stabbed to death with a knife.

A “meaningful” statement before the incident

“When we were having tea together at home, she once said to me, ‘You don’t die in the order of your age. I wondered why she said that, but she was not a healthy girl, and I just let it go, thinking that maybe she was just worried about me. She was that kind, gentle girl. ……”

The mother of Hiroyuki Chigira, 49, who was caught red-handed by the Metropolitan Police Department’s Atago Police Station on suspicion of attempted murder (later changed to murder) of Yuna Tanizawa, 18, an employee at a girls’ bar in Shinbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, mused.

At around 5:40 a.m. on the early morning of October 27, a waitress at a girls’ bar in Shimbashi called 110, saying, ‘The manager is holding a customer down, please come quickly.’ When police officers rushed to the scene, they found Mr. Tanizawa unconscious and in critical condition after being stabbed in the neck with a knife. He was later transported to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly afterward.

The police believe that the two, who are more than 30 years apart, met through a matching app.

The suspect told the police that he met Ms. Tanizawa on a matching app in June of this year and started going to the restaurant with her. In October, Ms. Tanizawa told the Metropolitan Police Department that a man she met on the matching app had stolen her money, and since the man’s handle and the nickname Chiaki used at the restaurant matched, the Metropolitan Police Department is carefully investigating the possibility of financial trouble between the two. The Metropolitan Police Department is carefully investigating the possibility that there may have been financial trouble between the two.

She said she would never get married again…

Chiaki was born and raised in Shibukawa City, Gunma Prefecture, the only son of a farmer. A woman living nearby could not believe her ears when she heard the news.

She said, “Hiroyuki was a quiet and gentle child. I have never seen him helping out in the fields, even though he is a farmer’s son. I never heard any bad rumors. I just can’t seem to connect him to the case.”

Another woman who lives nearby continued.

I think he was just helping the farmer to survive after his parents became ill. Hirokichi used to sell sweet potatoes from the fields at a nearby “roadside station” as baked sweet potatoes.

It seems that the girls’ bar was a place for Chiaki to relax.

The suspect can’t drink alcohol, but it seems he was frequenting a girl’s bar in Tokyo. She parked her car at the nearest station and took the train to Tokyo. We don’t know the extent of his social contacts, but he was in contact with several women.

When we asked Chiaki’s mother if the suspect was looking for a girlfriend at a girls’ bar, she replied , “ I don’ t think so.

She said, “That girl got married once when she was in her twenties and had a child, but they eventually split up. She must have had a hard time in the divorce, because she said, ‘I’m never getting married again'” (Chiaki’s mother).

The night before the incident, Chiaki left home saying only one word: “I’m going to Tokyo. Where did his desire to kill Ms. Tanizawa come from?
