Police probe possible link between 2channel postings and Sasebo, Japan killing
NAGASAKI – A series of anonymous murder confessions were posted on the popular 2channel Internet forum Saturday evening, prompting police to investigate their possible link with the death and dismemberment of 15-year-old Aiwa Matsuo in Sasebo, Nagasaki Prefecture.
A classmate of Matsuo’s was arrested Sunday on suspicion of murdering her the night before.
“Oh no, blood keeps pouring out even though I have wiped it away many times,” said one of the messages posted, which carried the subject line “I have ended up killing.”
It could not immediately be confirmed whether the classmate, who turned 16 on Monday, was the author of the four messages.
The Nagasaki Prefectural Police are investigating whether there is a connection between the messages and the murder.
