| DNA links man arrested for dumping girls' underwear to 1994 murder of woman in hotel |  |

Kazuo Oshitanai, 48, a widowed father of two, was arrested earlier this month for allegedly dumping about 120 items of girls' underwear in the gardens of 38 houses near his home in Ibaraki
Is it such a shocking crime to dump girls underwear? I mean if you can buy used schoolgirl underwear from a vending machine surely you can dump it if its not pleasing to the nose.
Anyway, good work from the cops. this is one sleaze bag who will not slip through the cracks....unless it was the cops fiddling with evidence....the mind boggles at the possibilities.

'bashed' - is that colloquialism a normal translation? 'beaten' perhaps?
Anyway - for those of you who thought underwear thieves might just be innocent kinky fetishists, this suggests that such nuisance behaviour can lead to even more unhealthy and dangerous activities.
What a sicko

According to last night's news, this guy would steal women's and children's underwear, wear them, soil them, them throw them onto people's property, or fit them on bike seats or car mirrors.

I heard he would wear the panties on his arm like a nicotine patch. He was trying to quit his addiction to women.

One incident DOES NOT suggest anything in terms of general behaviour!

Totally agree. Statute of limitations on Murder as well as various other crimes should definitely be abolished.

Don't know for sure, but I think widows are only women - he must be a widower. Wonder what happened to his wife - it seems they should check into that death.
| O SHIT ANI, Kazuo: widower AND murder | |

'telkwabc' makes a good point; the death of Oshitani's former wife should be investigated as suspicious. I am willing to bet it was not an accident. She died in 1996, only two years after he killed the call girl in Osaka. And yet, he was living in a new house... where did the money come from? If I were an insurance company representative, I would be searching through the records for an insurance payout.

From what I heard on the news, police are going to reinvestigate the wife's death.

Do you think its possible the keystones could have missed something during the first investigation? *sigh*

It seems everyone on this list has judged the man guilty of murder. As a long time researcher of Japanese police practices, I have observed numerous occasions when a suspect to a cold case crime in Japan gets nabbed just before the statute of limitations runs out. Cold case murders are an embarrasment to the police, and any suspect, even if not connected to the crime, will fill the void.
If the guy really did it, he deserves to be punished. Let me advise the readers on this list to take a deep breath before judging a suspect even when the police say "DNA evidence is involved." To my knowledge, the Japanese police had never heard of DNA in 1994.

Good post, but believe me, I am not on that bandwagon.
To my knowledge, the Japanese police had never heard of DNA in 1994.
Other evidence collected may certainly still bear traceable DNA.
Even so, several cases have cast doubt on the reliability of Japanese DNA tests, so I doubt them frequently.

I'm worried that the overweight will be shunned in the workplace and these new rules will make no one want to hire them.
