On Sunday midday, a primary school kid witnessed her grandmother being attacked and choked by a man she recognized. She dashed to a neighbour's house for help. The nine-year-old kid is said to have lived with her 60-year-old grandmother, Kimiko Shimotani, from Osaka.

When police arrived at the scene, Shimotani was found dead on the kitchen floor. As police launched a search for the whereabouts of the murderer, 34-year-old suspect, Yutaka Inoue, who said he was a friend of the victim's son, surrendered himself at Hiroshima Central Police Station later the same day. During questioning, he admitted the murder, saying that he had strangled the old woman.
