The charges are not more serious than that at this time because police are still conducting investigations and doing forensics on the body. There have been no reported sightings of Ichihashi since the incident, and I have read a couple of unconfirmed reports that he is being hidden by the yakuza (the Japanese mafia). If this is the case then I would expect the trail to go cold very soon. The police won’t touch the yakuza as they have far to many links with the government and people high up in the Japanese hierarchy. Incidentally, I want you to have a look at the photos of the suspect to the right, and the victim above. I’m sure when you look at them, you will think something along the lines of “Well she looks a really nice girl… but he looks evil”. But think about it and you’ll find that this is almost always the case, and the reason is partly because the media likes it that way. You never see a photo of a murder suspect smiling, having a good time etc. If you did, that might make you think good of the suspect. Similarly with victims, you always see the best photo possible of them. I know the latter is partly because the victim’s family will always submit a good photo of their loved one, but it is just another thing worth thinking about.

Although I have to admit I didn't take it! I may be crazy, but I'm not crazy enough to ask a gang member to strip off so I can take a picture of his tattoo! Yeah - it’s a pretty impressive tattoo.

Intersting article though.

On Thursday night it was reported that the 2 largest crime syndicates in Japan have declared a truce. Let joy and celebration reign - gang warfare on the streets of Tokyo has been averted! Both groups apparently reported to the Tokyo police separately that they had made peace with each other. Still, nobody has been arrested for the initial killing of Kabayashi-kai senior member, Ryoichi Sugiura, and I sincerely doubt anyone will be now.
