Two men were arrested Wednesday on suspicion of involvement in a recent robbery and murder in Komae, Tokyo, that claimed the life of a 90-year-old woman, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
The MPD obtained arrest warrants for five men, including suspected perpetrators, on homicide during robbery, aiding and abetting, and other charges. Two of the remaining three were expected to be arrested later on Wednesday.
Among a recent spate of robberies in the Kanto region and elsewhere, the Komae case in January is the only one in which a victim was killed. The MPD is investigating the involvement of "Luffy" and others who gave instructions to the perpetrators in the Komae case.
