国内流通少ない銃使用か　消音器も、入手経路捜査―王将社長射殺・京都府警など

　「餃子の王将」を展開する王将フードサービスの社長だった大東隆行さん＝当時（７２）＝が射殺された事件で、特定危険指定暴力団工藤会系組幹部の田中幸雄容疑者（５６）＝殺人と銃刀法違反容疑で逮捕＝は国内で流通量が少ない外国製の銃を使った疑いのあることが２９日、捜査関係者への取材で分かった。発射音を消すサイレンサー（消音器）が装着されていた可能性があるという。
　京都府警と福岡県警の合同捜査本部は、銃の入手経路を調べるとともに、事件が組織的に行われた可能性もあるとみて調べる。
　田中容疑者は別事件で銃刀法違反罪などに問われ、福岡刑務所で服役していたが、２９日未明、京都府警山科署に移送された。府警は、大東さんを射殺した事件の実行犯とみている。（2022/10/29-05:58）

The suspect arrested for allegedly murdering the then president of "gyoza" dumpling restaurant chain Ohsho Food Service Corp. in 2013 may have used a foreign-made gun that was not widely distributed in Japan, investigative sources said Saturday.
   The gun may have been equipped with a silencer, the sources also said.
   On Friday, Yukio Tanaka, 56, a senior member of a group affiliated with major crime syndicate Kudo-kai, was arrested on suspicion of murdering Takayuki Ohigashi, the then 72-year-old president of the firm operating the "Gyoza no Ohsho" restaurant chain, and violating the firearms and swords control law.
   Police will investigate how Tanaka obtained the gun and whether the murder was an organized crime.
   Shortly past 4 a.m. Saturday (7 p.m. Friday GMT), Tanaka, who was serving his sentence in another case in Fukuoka Prison in Fukuoka Prefecture, southwestern Japan, was transferred to the Yamashina police office in Kyoto Prefecture, western Japan, where the investigation headquarters for the 2013 murder case has been set up.
