Wakayama Kirato (20), a famous Japanese child actor, was identified as a suspect in the so-called mutilation incident of the couple and was arrested by local police.
According to the Yomiuri Shimbun on the 23rd, Wakayama was sent on charges of burning and mutilating the bodies of a couple in their 50s who were found on the banks of the Nasumachi River in Tokigi Prefecture, Japan, on the 16th of last month. A total of four people, including Mr A, a Korean in his 20s, were arrested on the same charge.
Wakayama is a former actor who appeared in many works as a child, shocking Japanese society.
Born in 2003, Wakayama debuted as a child actor in Japanese TV’s ‘Nightmare’ in 2012, and later played the younger version of the main character in TV Asahi’s 2013 ‘Kamen Rider Wizard’ and NHK’s taiga drama ‘Military Guards’ in 2014.
Although he continued to appear in films and dramas until 2018, it is said that he has not done much since then.
It is said that Wakayama and Mr. And stated during the police investigation that they got rid of the body in exchange for millions of yen. They say they fled to Osaka after the crime and spent most of their money.
The victims were a couple in their 50s who ran around 10 restaurants. It is assumed that he was murdered and removed after visiting an empty house in Tokyo in a rental car on the night of the 15th of last month. It was reported that their cause of death was suffocation, and in the woman’s case, signs of a head fracture were also found.
It is known that Wakayama and Korean Mr A did not know each other, nor did they know the deceased couple, but local investigative authorities are looking into the possibility of contract murder.
