Rp1 Billion Prepared For Information Giver Perpetrator Of The Murder Of Japanese Student 25 Years Ago

JAKARTA - 25 years have passed. But the killer Junko Kobayashi, who was brutally murdered in September 1996, has not yet been caught.

Let alone the arrest, the traces of the perpetrators seem to have been swallowed up by the earth. In fact, the police have examined more than 75,000 witnesses and examined more than 1,000 clues. But the police have not been able to determine the suspect in this murder, as reported by Japan Today, Thursday 9 September.

The house occupied by Sophia University students was burned down and Junko Kobayashi was in it. The police confirmed that Junko did not die from the fire.

He was found with his body wrapped in a thick blanket. His hands and feet were tightly bound. Junko was killed by a knife stab.

The police have prepared a 3 million yen reward for anyone with information leading to an arrest. The victim's family also offered an additional 5 million yen. So a total of 8 million yen, equivalent to IDR 1.03 billion. The National Police Agency has had to extend the reward period for another year for information that will help solve Kobayashi's murder.

On September 4, 2014, Japanese news site Sankei Digital reported, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police teamed up with 3D printing technicians to recreate the crime scene based on photos from 1996 and a blueprint of the building. A model of the small two-story structure has been printed in 1:28 scale.

The Tokyo Police Department hopes that this scale model will allow their officers to once again interpret the murders, crime scenes, and various other factors surrounding this mysterious case from 1996. In addition, they hope that this model will also help the memories of residents and the police involved at the time.

Police have released an illustration of a suspicious man at the time of the incident. This is a picture of several witnesses who saw the man at the same time.

The man was standing about 15 meters from a house. The man was thin with a height of about 150-160 centimeters. Her small body seemed to be drowned by the large yellow raincoat she was wearing. There was a black umbrella ready for use as it was a rather cold autumn day, quoted from the Mainichi Shimbun.
