Okinawa Hotel Killing Case Against U.S. Marine

Wat we eerst wisten

• Okinawa’s longstanding concerns about U.S. bases and the conduct of personnel associated with them now have a new, specific focus: the death of Anna Yagi, a 39-year-old Naha resident. Japanese authorities hold a U.S. Marine on suspicion of robbing and killing her, and an October 4 judicial autopsy established asphyxiation as the cause of death. Japan has demanded investigative cooperation and prevention measures. The suspect denies involvement; the evidence has not reached a judicial determination of responsibility.
