A murder was reported at a hotel in Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan yesterday. A 38-year-old Taiwanese woman who was traveling to Japan with a tour group was found dead in the hotel room. The police announced the forensic autopsy results today, confirming that the deceased died of excessive blood loss. There was at least one deep stab wound in the neck, and the wound even reached the carotid artery. She and the Taiwanese woman who was arrested with the knife signed up to join the tour separately.

According to reports from Yamanashi TV, around 8 a.m. yesterday, the police received a report that a woman in her 30s was lying in a pool of blood in a hotel room in Fujikawaguchiko. When police arrived at the scene, they found the woman lying on her back on the bed, apparently dead.

The police confirmed that the deceased was a 38-year-old Taiwanese woman who was traveling to Japan as part of a tour group. Forensic autopsy results showed that the cause of death was excessive blood loss. According to investigators, there was at least one deep wound on the neck of the deceased who was stabbed with a sharp object, and the injury was as deep as the carotid artery.

The police arrested a 27-year-old Taiwanese woman yesterday evening on suspicion of violating the "gun knife law". The police pointed out that the woman was suspected of possessing a kitchen knife with a blade length of about 12 centimeters without any legitimate reason.

Sources involved in the investigation revealed that the kitchen knife was found near the body of the deceased with blood stains on the knife. The police do not rule out that the kitchen knife is the murder weapon and are conducting further forensic investigations.

In addition, the investigation found that the kitchen knife was suspected to have been purchased by a 27-year-old woman during the tour group's trip. Although the deceased and the arrested woman were part of the same tour group, they signed up separately for the tour.

The police believe that the arrested woman may know the details of the deceased's death. They are currently investigating the relationship between the two, whether there were any disputes, and the circumstances before and after the incident to clarify the ins and outs of the entire incident.
