1. In the case of the assault of three store employees at the Seicomart Kita 31-jo store in Kita-ku, Sapporo, the unemployed Hirotaka Miyanishi, 43, who was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, stated that he was frustrated by the fact that only male store employees dealt with him when he visited various stores on a regular basis. On March 16, we learned from an interview with investigators that the suspect (43), a Kita-ku resident, stated that he was frustrated by the fact that only male waiters dealt with him when he visited various stores.

   The Hokkaidō police are carefully investigating the possibility that he was motivated by a one-sided belief. On the 17th, the detention deadline, they will re-arrest him on charges of murder for stabbing Keisuke Ohashi, 40, an employee of the management company, to death from hemorrhagic shock and seriously injuring a female part-time employee, 58.
