According to Shukan Shincho (Jan. 13), a taxi driver recalled choosing up Yuka Nomura and her boyfriend, 27-year-old Shintaro Nakakubo, from a station rotary on the afternoon of December 3. Nomura, sporting a hoodie, and Nakakubo had been dragging three heavy suitcases.
“Including the woman’s luggage, there were three suitcases in total. They couldn’t all fit in the trunk, so I had to put one in the middle of the back seat,” the motive force stated. “I wondered why they had so much luggage. I even thought they might be fleeing in the night.”
During the one-hour experience to the airport, the couple remained utterly silent, staring out the home windows with a “brooding, desperate atmosphere,” the motive force added. Nomura paid the fare, solely instructing the motive force to make sure they make a flight for 7:00 p.m. Nakakubo made no try and pay.
Grisly scene

Officers broke into the house to discover a grisly scene on the second flooring. Nomura and her 16-year-old eldest son, Haruto, had bled to dying after an obvious violent battle. An axe and a blood-stained knife had been discovered close by. Haruto’s physique confirmed a number of defensive wounds, whereas Nomura had hesitation cuts. Her two youthful sons, Rikuto, 11, and Reo, 9, had been discovered strangled to dying with zip ties on a mattress.
Gruesome scars
Initially considered as a tragic household murder-suicide carried out by the mom, the case took a stunning flip when investigators discovered a lease settlement inside Nomura’s automotive. The contract, signed the earlier March, was for an condo situated about 5.5 kilometers away in neighboring Nerima Ward.
On December 22, police searched the key condo and found Nakakubo’s corpse stuffed inside a closet. An post-mortem revealed he had been murdered between December 14 and 15. Shockingly, his physique bore quite a few ugly scars indicating a failed try at dismemberment.
