夫妻の娘の内縁夫を逮捕　事件主導か、死体損壊容疑―那須２遺体

　栃木県那須町の河川敷で会社役員夫妻の遺体が見つかった事件で、警視庁と栃木県警の合同捜査本部は６日、死体損壊容疑で、夫妻の娘の内縁の夫、会社役員関根誠端容疑者（３２）＝東京都世田谷区等々力＝を逮捕した。同容疑者宅を家宅捜索し、任意同行を求めたが拒否されたため逮捕に踏み切った。
　捜査本部は、関根容疑者が指示役とみられる職業不詳佐々木光容疑者（２８）＝同容疑で逮捕＝らに報酬を約束し、事件を持ち掛けたとみて全容解明を急ぐ。（2024/05/07-00:40）

Japanese police arrested Monday a fifth person over the burned bodies of a Tokyo couple found in the eastern Japan prefecture of Tochigi in mid-April.
   Arrested by a joint investigation team of Tokyo's Metropolitan Police Department and the Tochigi prefectural police department was corporate executive Seiha Sekine, the 32-year-old common-law husband of the couple's daughter.
   Sekine, a resident of Tokyo's Setagaya Ward, is suspected of damaging the bodies of Ryutaro Takarajima, a 55-year-old company executive, and his wife, Sachiko, 56.
   Investigators from the joint team raided Sekine's home, and arrested him after he refused to come with them on a voluntary basis for questioning.
   The investigation team will work to get to the bottom of the incident, believing that Sekine approached Hikaru Sasaki, 28, who has already been arrested also for allegedly damaging the bodies, and others for conspiracy with him by promising to pay them rewards.
