JAKARTA - China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said two Japanese men killed last month in the northeastern city of Dalian were the suspect's business partners. Authorities are investigating the case with the motive of this business dispute.

Dalian Police said a 42-year-old man has been arrested. He is known to have lived in Japan for a long time.

Police said the two victims were the suspect's business partners who entered China for a while. The police said the murder was triggered by a business conflict.

The Japanese government stated that it provided the necessary support to the families of the victims.

"And will continue to respond appropriately from the point of view of protecting Japanese citizens," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said.

Chinese police notified the Japanese consulate in Shenyang on May 25 of the killings, two days after the incident, Hayashi, the Japanese government's main spokesman, said at a regular briefing.
