JAKARTA - The news of the death of porn star, Rina Arano has attracted the world's attention. It was not only the Japanese public who felt pity, but several media from several countries also reported it.

Quoted from the Japan Times, Rina had actually been reported missing on June 5. The family reported it to the local police three days later. However, no trace of it was found.

Until last June 14, his body was found tied to a tree naked in a rotting condition. A number of media, such as the New York Post and The Sun, even reported on the condition of Rina Arano's body.

"Rina Arano was tied to a tree naked and has been dead for about two weeks. We are still investigating the cause of her death," the police said in an official statement, as quoted by Marco.

An autopsy found that the cause of death was a fracture of the hyoid bone (bone around the neck). According to investigators, there is a possibility that Rina was strangled to death.

The team of investigators then arrested the man that Arano met before he disappeared and died, Hiroyuki Sanpei. Investigators suspect the two met at Mito Station in Ibaraki Prefecture on June 5, after the two exchanged private messages on Twitter. This text message is also found on the Sanpei smartphone.

The police said that after picking up Arano at the station, Sanpei went to his villa in Hitachiota. The recording device installed in Sanpei's car captured images of the car speeding along a forest road that appeared to be near where the body was found.

The police arrested Hiroyuki Sanpei on charges of kidnapping and holding Rina Arano. Sanpei himself denied these suspicions, and admitted to taking Arano with him to the villa and then dropping him off at a shop near the location. A source said police found Arano's smartphone at the Sanpei villa.

After her death, Rina Arano's name became the talk of the world. According to She The People magazine, Rina was paid about a thousand dollars or around Rp. 15 million for a single photo shoot.
