Man accused of attacking 2 women with hammer in Edogawa
TOKYO (TR) – Tokyo Metropolitan Police on Sunday arrested a 21-year-old man over the alleged assault of two women at their residence in Edogawa Ward last month, reports Kyodo News (Aug. 3). At around 5:35 p.m. on July 30, Keito Degura allegedly broke into the residence of the two women, aged in their 50s and 70s, and used a hammer to repeatedly bash each of them over the head and other parts of their bodies. The women suffered serious injuries, including skull fractures, police said. Upon his arrest on suspicion of attempted murder and trespassing, Degura denied the allegations. 'I have no recollection of doing anything at all,' he said. Keito Degura (X) When Degura arrived at the scene, he mentioned the name of a woman in her 20s who lived in the house and attended the same elementary and middle schools that he did. After the incident, Dekura, who lives about 300 meters from the home, fled the scene. However, police used security camera footage and other means to locate him. When police searched his residence, they found a note hinting at suicide. Police are now investigating the possibility that he may have committed the crime out of desperation.

Ito City mayor Maki Takubo to keep post despite academic fraud claims
SHIZUOKA (TR) – Maki Takubo, the major of Ito City, last week announced her intentions to keep her post despite allegations of academic fraud, reports TV Asahi (Aug. 2). On July 31, Takubo, 55, announced her intention to continue in office. 'I will devote my whole heart and soul to the cancellation of the new library construction plan, a major promise I made to the citizens,' she said. 'And I will also devote my whole heart and soul to the complete cancellation of the Izu Kogen Mega Solar Project.' In May, Takubo was elected as mayor. She is suspected of falsifying her academic background by claiming in a city magazine that she was a graduate of Toyo University when in fact she was expelled. Takubo later said that she believed she had graduated. She also showed the city assembly speaker what she called a diploma. However, the authenticity of the document is in question. Maki Takubo (X) A source close to Takubo tells TV Asahi that her continued tenure was expected. 'I thought she wouldn't resign at the end of the month,' says the source. 'I have mixed feelings about her continuing. It's not that I don't want to support her, but I'm not sure what to do.' Ito City has a population of approximately 65,000, many of whom are elderly. Tourism is the city's main industry, but visitor numbers have fallen by 500,000 compared to 20 years ago. As a result, challenges abound — but Takubo has strong support. 'Among the relatively high-income elderly people [in the area surrounding the proposed mega-solar project], she's a heroine,' says Ito City-based journalist Yoshiaki Kiyo. 'They're treating her like Joan of Arc. She has a rock-solid support base that says, 'We have to support Maki-chan.' So she can be aggressive.' The project includes the cutting down of the forests of Izu Kogen to install solar panels on the land. However, construction was halted in 2019, making Takubo's stance performative, says Kiyo. 'The mega-solar project issue has been largely resolved in Ito City,' says Kito. 'All that remains is the legal litigation, so even if Takubo says she'll do something as mayor, it's all just performance.'

NPA: Fraud cases at record for first half of 2025
TOKYO (TR) – The National Police Agency (NPA) said last week that the total amount lost by victims of crime rings using unsolicited phone calls and social media was most on record over the first half of this year, reports NHK (Aug. 1). Between January and June, fraud rings collected 59.7 billion yen from victims, a figure that is 2.6 times higher than that over the same period the year before. It is also the highest since statistics began being kept in 2004. The number of cases recorded over that period (13,213) was also a record, the NPA said. The agency is urging caution, as scams involving perpetrators impersonating police officers comprise the majority of the total. 'Physical examination' These types of cases are termed tokushu sagi ('special fraud'), which is carried out on the telephone by a caller impersonating an authority figure or a victim's relative. In video calls, perpetrators posing a police officer will say, 'Your mobile telephone is being used for criminal purposes.' They will also show fake police badges and arrest warrants. They then go on to tell victims to send money to bank accounts. In years past, such scams targeted the elderly. That is no longer the case. By age group, the largest number of victims were in their 30s at approximately 21 percent, followed by those in their 20s at around 19 percent. These figures indicate that younger generations are also falling victim to this scam, the NPA said. The NPA added that criminal groups are making large numbers of calls using auto-call systems. In addition to demanding money, scammers have also been seen to engage in lewd acts, such as requesting victims to strip naked during video calls under the guise of a 'physical examination.' The NPA is urging people to 'be careful, as police officers would never demand money or ask victims to strip naked on social media.'
