Tokyo police have arrested a man on suspicion of murdering the president of an audio equipment-related company, who was found dead at his apartment in Tokyo’s Ota Ward last week.
The Metropolitan Police Department on Friday arrested Masahiro Yamanaka, 45, the company’s sales manager, on suspicion of killing company president Akihiro Kawashima, 44, a day earlier, investigative sources said.
