04.10.2026 ⇢ The Day Police Arrested a Futenma Marine Over the Naha Killing
⌨

Overnight police arrested a 20-year-old private from Futenma base on suspicion of robbing and killing a 39-year-old woman in a Naha hotel and taking her wallet. He was found in an entertainment district in Okinawa City and denied the charge. Police later said the cause of death was strangulation, and the family asked for privacy. Prime Minister Takaichi called it extremely brutal, while Foreign Minister Motegi protested to U.S. Ambassador Glass, prompting coverage of renewed anger in Okinawa and stalled Status of Forces talks.

Attention later turned to the close of the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, where Japan set a record with 83 golds behind China. Reports stressed bus delays, flag mishaps and staff shortages.

A JNN poll put Takaichi cabinet support at 63.0%, up 0.5 points, ahead of Diet debate on consumption tax cuts from Oct. 5.
