Tokyo Metropolitan Police arrested a 29-year-old man Thursday on suspicion of fatally stabbing a 19-year-old girl last week in Tokyo's Taito Ward.
The suspect, identified as Makoto Yamaguchi from Sapporo, allegedly stabbed Mayuko Ogawa, a second-year student at Toita Women's College, while she was walking down a street in the Asakusa district at around 10:35 a.m. on April 30.
Ogawa, who was on her way to watch a friend take part in a Brazilian jujitsu match at a nearby gymnasium, sustained wounds to the chest, abdomen and back.
