夫妻殺害容疑で長女逮捕　経営トラブル動機か―事件後は役員復帰・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２７日、殺人容疑で、夫妻の長女で会社役員の宝島真奈美容疑者（３１）＝東京都世田谷区等々力＝を逮捕した。認否は明らかにしていない。事件を巡る逮捕者は７人目。
　真奈美容疑者は１月、夫妻が経営する会社の取締役を退いたが、事件後の５月１５日に代表取締役に就任していた。捜査本部は東京・上野の飲食店経営を巡るトラブルが動機とみて詳しく調べている。
　逮捕容疑は４月１５日深夜～１６日未明、品川区東五反田の空き家ガレージで、首を絞めるなどして会社役員宝島龍太郎さん（５５）と妻幸子さん（５６）を殺害した疑い。
　捜査本部などによると、夫妻が殺害された際、真奈美容疑者は空き家にはいなかった。証拠品を精査するなどした結果、関与した疑いが浮上したという。
　夫妻は上野で飲食店十数店舗を経営。うち数店舗は真奈美容疑者の内縁の夫で、事件を首謀したとされる会社役員関根誠端容疑者（３２）が管理を任されていた。（2024/06/27-16:23）

A joint investigation team of Tokyo's Metropolitan Police Department and the Tochigi prefectural police on Thursday arrested the eldest daughter of a couple found dead in the town of Nasu in Tochigi Prefecture, eastern Japan, on suspicion of killing her parents.
   The investigation team did not disclose whether she admitted the charge. She is the seventh person arrested over the murders.
   Manami Takarajima, 31, became representative director of the couple's company on May 15, a month after the incident, though she resigned as director of the firm in January. The police suspect that problems with management of restaurants the couple ran in Tokyo's Ueno district triggered the murders.
   The suspect is alleged to have murdered Ryutaro Takarajima, a 55-year-old company executive, and his wife, Sachiko, 56, whom police believe were strangled in an empty house in Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo, between the night of April 15 and the following morning.
   According to the team, the suspect was not at the murder scene, but evidence strongly suggests her involvement in the killings.
