U.S. Navy Sailor Murders Japanese Woman and Then Kills Himself on Okinawa

There has been another horrible murder incident on Okinawa that will probably get the anti-US protesters riled up again:

Okinawa police said the bodies of a U.S. Navy sailor and a Japanese woman were found in a unit of this apartment building around 7:30 a.m. Saturday, April 13, 2019.

A U.S. sailor fatally stabbed a Japanese woman and then killed himself on Okinawa, Japanese officials said.
The two were found dead Saturday morning inside a six-story apartment building in the Kuwae district of Chatan, according to an Okinawa Prefectural Police spokesman.
The woman’s child was present when the incident occurred and called a relative, who then called police at 7:26 a.m., the spokesman said.

Sad that so many people feel compelled to hurt others. And we all know I don’t just mean the sailor. Condolences to the families and friends. Except for the Jody.

Set, the Jody could be the sailor. About 8 years ago a reserve friend was on AD for one year. Had a 2 soldiers in a relationship while the woman’s husband was deployed. Hubby was returning female broke off the relationship other soldier responded by killing her. Guy was held at Ft. Knox KY for court martial at Ft Leonard Wood MO. Rules were a SNCO had to escort the prisoner back and forth along with the MPs. (A 9 hour drive) My friend got stuck with that duty more than once. Win for us because Ft. Knox was close enough they usually spent the night and we could meet up for dinner, but according to all involved he was a distasteful human and distasteful detail. Last my friend heard as he was leaving, the prosecution was asking for the death penalty.

Doc, that’s completely true.

People do stupid things. And people can be triggered by many things, too.

I don’t know any detail beyond what’s here. Truly a sad situation.
