| Investigators cover balcony of murder scene |
The bodies of a woman and her four children were found in their
apartment in the Nagoya suburb of Ichinomiya, on Friday. Police said they
are investigating the case as one of murder-suicide.
The bodies were found by a police officer at around 2 p.m. The woman,
identified as Maiko Matsubayashi, 35, and the four children—three girls
aged 15, 12 and 10, and a boy aged 9—were lying on futons, Tokai TV
reported. There were no external injuries on the bodies, but a barbecue
gas range with traces of charcoal in it was near the bodies.
An acquaintance of the woman was quoted by police as saying that he
had spoken with her on the phone on Thursday night and that she had
hinted at committing suicide. She also told him that it would be
terrible to leave her children behind. The man contacted police who
visited the apartment and found the bodies.
