冲绳县长期驻扎美军基地,历年来多次发生美军人员涉嫌犯罪事件,引发当地民众不满和抗议。
日本媒体6日披露驻日美军涉嫌抢劫杀人案细节,引发民众愤慨。警方怀疑,涉案美军士兵用酒店客房内的电话线将一名日本女性杀害,抢走钱包等物品后逃走,并更换衣物试图躲避追捕。被捕后,嫌疑人面对讯问均回答“不知道”,拒绝认罪。
据日本多家媒体报道,涉案美军士兵德文·巴拉德现年20岁,隶属驻扎在美军普天间基地的美国海军陆战队。被害女性屋宜杏奈39岁,家住冲绳县那霸市。当地警方说,3日凌晨2时10分左右,巴拉德和屋宜杏奈一起走进那霸市一家酒店;一个多小时后,酒店外监控视频显示巴拉德独自离开。
司法解剖显示,屋宜杏奈因颈部被勒窒息而死。警方调查发现,两人所在酒店客房内电话听筒脱落,由此怀疑嫌疑人用电话线作案。警方根据嫌疑人光头、双臂有文身等外貌特征,4日在冲绳市一处娱乐街区逮捕巴拉德。被捕时,他所穿衣物与离开酒店时完全不同,警方怀疑其故意换装躲避追捕。
面对警方讯问,巴拉德一律回答“不知道”,否认实施犯罪。案件现阶段仍在调查中。
这起案件再次引发日本民众强烈不满。当地居民表示,虽然首相高市早苗已对此事表示“极为遗憾”,但这远远不够。数十年来,日本政府遇到类似事件常以“严肃对待”等回答搪塞,却没有具体应对措施,令人失望。还有居民表示,驻日美军犯罪事件频发,冲绳不需要美军驻扎。
新上任的冲绳县知事古谢玄太说,将于7日前往东京,就此事向日本中央政府提出抗议。

A natural gas pipeline explosion occurred at the Xingda Power Plant in Kaohsiung on September 9 last year. After a year of investigation, the Qiaotou District Prosecutor's Office determined that Zhongding Company was suspected of failing to replace temporary gaskets with official gaskets during construction, causing the pipeline to dissolve at high temperatures and cause an explosion. The prosecutor conducted a raid yesterday and summoned six suspects. Two Thai piping workers and a Thai foreman were ordered to post a bail of 100,000 yuan and restricted from leaving the country for suspected fire crimes under the Criminal Code. The remaining three were asked to return. The case originated from a tens-billion public procurement case. The prosecutor pointed out that Zhongding Company violated installation regulations and directly allowed the equipment to be sick. The explosion caused damage to pipelines and surrounding equipment, and the fire spread to surrounding buildings and glass facilities, posing a serious threat to public safety. The evidence is being further declassified, and it is not ruled out that the senior executives of Zhongding Company and the supervisors contracted by Taipower will be investigated for their responsibilities.

A fire broke out at a house on Tucheng Road, Waipu District, Taichung City at around 3 a.m., and the fire spread violently to the bamboo forest. After firefighters arrived at the scene to put out the fire, they found two charred bodies inside the house. The deceased were suspected to be a 47-year-old woman surnamed Li and her 51-year-old Thai husband. The cause of the fire is yet to be investigated, and the police will report it to the prosecutor for an examination to clarify the cause of death.

US authorities arrested James Cody Bryant, 30, in Washington state on Tuesday for allegedly providing advice, financial support, and agreeing to live-stream a mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, Canada, earlier this year. He faces a conspiracy to murder charge carrying a potential life sentence.

Former senior CIA official David J. Rush pleaded guilty in Virginia to abusing his position and government funds to acquire Florida real estate and hundreds of gold bars worth over $40 million through fabricated classified programs, causing $194 million in total losses to the federal government.

Los Angeles County prosecutors are seeking $100 million bail each for Guojun Xuan, 66, and Silvia Zhang, 39, a Chinese-born couple charged with conspiring to abuse at least 14 surrogate-born children in their California mansion, including directing nannies to physically punish children and using surveillance to monitor abuse.

The Taichung District Prosecutor's Office yesterday indicted Liao Gangfa, the leader of the Chinese Hong Kong gang "He Sheng He" operation team, on charges of injury, public insult, and participation in a criminal organization, and requested a harsher five-year prison sentence. Liao Gangfa and others beat Akio Yaita, the CEO of the Indo-Pacific Strategic Think Tank, in Taichung in July this year. Afterwards, they tried to flee Taiwan in disguise and were arrested by the police at the airport. The prosecutor pointed out that this cross-border violence was highly planned and organized, aiming to create a chilling effect and undermine my country's democratic system. A separate case was launched to investigate the behind-the-scenes instigators and possible collaborators in Taiwan.
