Aug 11 (Japan Today) - A 39-year-old man was served a fresh arrest warrant Friday for allegedly murdering two Chinese sisters whose bodies were found stuffed in travel bags in woods southwest of Tokyo last month, police said.
Tatsuya Iwasaki, an acquaintance of the victims, had been served an arrest warrant earlier for allegedly abandoning the bodies of Chen Baolan, 25, and her sister Chen Baozhen, 22, in the woods in Hadano, Kanagawa Prefecture.
Iwasaki, of Yokohama, is suspected of strangling the women at their apartment unit in the city on around July 6 before abandoning their bodies in travel bags in the following days.
Iwasaki, who was initially arrested on July 10 for suspected confinement of the women, is not speaking with investigators about the allegations, according to the police.
