The Tochigi robbery-murder case dominated the day, with a 28-year-old man arrested at Haneda Airport in the early morning, followed by his 25-year-old wife in the afternoon, both as suspected coordinators. By evening, six suspects were in custody, including four 16-year-old teens. Media focused on the couple's role and the 'Tokuryu' organized crime group's influence. Separately, Taiwan's President Lai appealed for continued US arms sales, and Nikkei reported on humanoid home robots and rare earth production increases. The day's coverage was heavily centered on the case's developments.
