AICHI (TR) – Following the death of a man inside the room of a hotel in Nagoya over the weekend, police have arrested male suspect on suspicion of robbery and murder. Police also said that the victim entered the room with a woman before the discovery of his body, reports NHK (June 10).
On Monday, police announced the arrest of the 20-year-old suspect. He is suspected of killing Hisamichi Kurita, a 32-year-old office worker from Kasugai City, inside a room of Hagu Hagu Sakae－II in Naka Ward and stealing his belongings.
On June 7, police responding to a distress call arrived at the room in the hotel and found Kurita collapsed on the bed. Police previously said that he was shirtless and lying face-down. There were bloodstains on the sheets that appeared to be from a nosebleed.

Police previously said that the results of an autopsy revealed the cause of death to be asphyxiation due to strangulation.
