Wednesday marks 30 years since three part-time workers were shot to death at a supermarket in suburban Tokyo. The case remains unsolved.
On July 30, 1995, two high school girls and a 47-year-old woman were shot in their head at an office of a supermarket in Hachioji City.
Tokyo police have mobilized a total of more than 226,000 investigators to track down the person concerned on suspicion of robbery and murder, but no arrest has been made.
The statute of limitations for robbery and murder was abolished in 2010 just before the case was about to expire.
Eighty people, including investigators, distributed fans asking citizens for their cooperation, informing them that a reward of up to 6 million yen, or about 40,000 dollars, would be paid for any important clues linked to the suspect.
Tokyo police say a special investigation headquarters has received a total of 1,678 pieces of information over the past 30 years, including 32 over the past year. But none of them have been connected directly to the perpetrator.
