Ryoken Hirayama, a 25-year-old man arrested in connection with the discovery of the burned bodies of a Tokyo couple in Nasu, Tochigi Prefecture, has claimed he received over ¥10 million from an unknown individual who instructed him to dispose of the bodies. Hirayama also stated that he shared the money with two acquaintances who assisted him in disposing of the bodies. However, authorities have not located the alleged sum in Hirayama's residence or bank accounts, leading them to scrutinize his claims.
The joint investigation headquarters, comprised of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Tochigi Prefectural Police, are continuing their investigation into the case. The discovery of the burned bodies sent shockwaves through the community, and the investigation has been ongoing for several weeks.
Hirayama's claims have raised several questions, including the identity of the individual who allegedly paid him and the motive behind the killings. The investigation is expected to continue for some time as authorities work to uncover the truth behind this gruesome crime.
The case has also highlighted the issue of violence against women in Japan. Sachiko Takarajima, one of the victims, was a successful businesswoman, and her death has sparked renewed calls for measures to protect women from violence.

This is just another case of someone trying to shift the blame onto someone else. Disgusting.
