 He was also the head of JA&#8217;s subcommittee. This is probably the reason why the investigation has been taking so long,&#8221; said crime journalist Yasuhei Ogawa.
The incident occurred on the morning of May 24, 2009, in an area surrounded by golf courses and natural parks in the suburbs of Kumamoto City. The incident occurred on the morning of May 24, 2009, in a suburban area of Kumamoto City, surrounded by a golf course and a natural park, when Takanori Nakamura, then 74, a former town councilor, was found dead in his bedroom, his hands and feet tied with string and adhesive tape over his mouth and nose, suffocating.

 When the body was found, the front door of the house was still locked from the outside, and Nakamura&#8217;s light truck was found abandoned about four kilometers away. Mr. Nakamura&#8217;s light truck was found abandoned about 4 km away. It is believed that the perpetrators used the truck to escape. It is also known that a safe was taken from the scene.
Mr. Nakamura&#8217;s wife, who was sleeping in another room on the day of the incident, did not notice the noise.
 The perpetrators took time to detain Mr. Nakamura and take out the safe. It was a daring crime, even though his wife was also at home. It is natural to assume that the perpetrator knew the situation of the crime scene beforehand, and it is highly possible that he knew her. If the key to the front door left behind is a duplicate key, the culprit must be someone who had the opportunity to make a duplicate key,&#8221; said Mr. Ogawa.
The fact that there were multiple footprints at the scene raises the possibility of multiple criminals.
 In addition, the fact that there were multiple footprints at the scene suggests that there may have been more than one perpetrator. &#8220;Depending on the size of the safe, it is natural to assume that multiple people carried it out and took it away in a light truck.
The prefectural police have sent in a total of more than 13,000 investigators so far, and have thoroughly interviewed the people involved. It may only be a matter of time before the culprit is caught.

 This is the first time I've seen such a thing. This is the reason why the investigation is taking so long.
