Blake is in prison, accused of the crime. But Vitello's is open for business and will be host of a "murder-mystery party" next month. The owners say they had nothing to do with organizing the evening and that...
Since the famously photographed murder of a Socialist leader by a right-wing youth in 1960, being a Japanese politician has been hazardous to little more than one's ego. That may have changed with the shocking murder last Friday of Diet member Koki Ishii. The 61-year-old Ishii was steps away from his car outside his home when he was stabbed repeatedly with what appeared to be a 30-cm sashimi knife by Hakusui Ito, a 38-year-old with ties to right-wing extremists. Ito fled the scene but turned himself in to the police the following...
