Two women were killed in a stabbing attack at a bar in Hamamatsu, Japan, early Sunday morning. A 41-year-old male suspect was arrested at the scene.
Japanese police have arrested Yamashita Ichiro, 41, for fatally stabbing two women at a "girls bar" in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture. The incident occurred around 1 a.m. on Sunday.
Authorities said the suspect first attacked 27-year-old bar manager Takeuchi Tomoka, stabbing her in the back multiple times, before turning on 26-year-old employee Ito Rin. Both women were later confirmed dead.
Yamashita entered the bar with Ito, carrying two kukri-style knives with curved blades approximately 20 centimetres long. He is a resident of Fukuroi, also in Shizuoka, and has reportedly admitted to the attack.
Police noted that Yamashita was a regular customer at the bar and that other staff and patrons were present during the incident. He is currently in custody on suspicion of murder, as investigators work to determine the motive and details of the case.
