Jun 22 (Japan Today) - A man who slashed three people, including one fatally, with a knife at a housing complex in Yokohama early Thursday, has been found dead after apparently committing suicide, police said.
The 76-year-old man fled the scene after the attack that occurred in Asahi Ward at around 1:35 a.m., according to the Kanagawa prefectural police.
The victim who died in the attack was Koji Endo, 61. His 61-year-old wife Kyoko, who called police, and 40-year-old son Tomokazu, were also stabbed. Kyoko received a wound to her face and is in a stable condition, while Tomokazu remained unconscious, police said.
