MIYAGE (TR) – Miyagi Prefectural Police launched a murder investigation after the corpse of a missing woman was found on a beach in Iwanuma City on Sunday, reports NHK (Apr. 14).
A little after 10 a.m., a man out walking called the police to report that he had seen a person collapsed on the sand in Shimonogo.
Emergency personnel arriving at the scene found nursery school teacher Yuka Yukishi, 35, lying face-up. She was confirmed dead at the scene.
