JAKARTA - Who killed Sophia University student Junko Kobayashi 25 years ago is still a big question mark. The police have yet to find any clues that lead to the suspect.

More than IDR 1 billion is ready to be given to anyone who feels they have valid information regarding the traces of the perpetrators. That amount of money is 3 million yen for the Japanese National Police Agency.

The agency even had to extend the reward period for another year for information that would help them solve Kobayashi's murder. The victim's family also offered another 5 million yen.

25 years ago, Japan was outraged by the death of Junko Kobayashi tied up. She was stabbed to death and then burned in her house. Until now the case is still a mystery. This heartbreaking incident occurred on September 9, 1996.

More than 75.000 people have been questioned by the police, as reported by Japan Today, Thursday, September 9. And more than 1.000 clues have been researched, but the police are still unable to pinpoint a suspect in the murder.

Kobayashi's death is believed to have occurred around 3:55 p.m. Japanese time. Just then, a man in a raincoat was seen standing outside Kobayashi's house. He stood without an umbrella. But his eyes stared intently at the second floor.

Police found type A blood at the scene of the murder. The blood is believed to have come from the hands of the killer who had been injured.
