Back in high school, he was in the kendo club, worked up a sweat,

and was adored by everyone,

yet he has now been arrested on suspicion of killing a pregnant woman.

This is suspect Takumi Ouchi. As for his relationship with

the victim, through interviews with

people involved and by closely examining the victim’s smartphone,

we came to identify him as one of the victim’s past boyfriends,

and he was arrested this time. Suspect Takumi Ouchi emerged as a suspect.

Police believe the crime stemmed from romantic troubles.

Haruka Komatsu, a 31- year- old

manicurist who died, had a baby in her womb

and was due to give birth this year. On New Year’s Eve night,

at the apartment where Ms. Komatsu lived alone with her husband,

an incident occurred. When her husband came home,

the door was left unlocked, and Ms. Komatsu was found collapsed in a pool

of blood in the entryway. Her neck had been stabbed with a blade,

her skull fractured,

and there were also wounds suggesting she tried to protect the baby in her belly

until the very end. According to police, suspect Ouchi drove a car to the

scene and also left in a car. He had been living in Shirosato Town, about a twenty-

minute drive away by car. Suspect Ouchi was living there.

Suspect Ouchi’s home is a detached house in an area with almost no foot traffic,

surrounded by rice fields and farmland. According to neighbors, on the eleventh of

this month, police came to seize a car. From what we can imagine,

he was amid the overgrown grass all alone,

playing by himself. I thought," What is he doing, he is just messing

around," and… The suspect, Dainai, was arrested

at this home this morning. In this case, a blade and

something like a blunt object… It appears multiple weapons were used,

but none of them have been found yet. Greetings? He does not

really interact with people… Well, he does say hello.

His parents even help him with his work, and… It is the countryside,

so people just end up hanging out and having fun. You get the feeling his

parents are helping him out. He said,“ As long as you eat rice, it is fine,”

and his current job was at a factory. According to

investigators… It is believed the two met at the restaurant

where Komatsu once worked. The relationship between suspect Dainai and Komatsu is

thought to have started the year before last, and the police believe it ended within

that same year. However, suspect Dainai seems to have kept

contacting her, and around last summer,

Komatsu blocked him on social media. According to an acquaintance,

Komatsu seems to have gotten married around that time. Then, four days before

the incident, she called the police to report being stalked. 03: 52,000--> 03:
