Tokyo police rearrested a 37-year-old man Monday on fresh charges of dangerous driving resulting in death and a hit-and-run in the capital’s Adachi Ward last month.
The suspect, Yusuke Yokoo, was initially apprehended at his home in the same ward on Nov. 24 on suspicion of stealing a car from a dealership, after two pedestrians were killed and a dozen of others were injured in accidents caused by the car earlier the same day.
According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, which disclosed the suspect’s name after assessing whether he could bear criminal responsibility, Yokoo was served with the fresh arrest warrant because he is now suspected of hitting Gladys Grace Rotaquio Testado, a 28-year-old Philippine woman, while she was walking on a crosswalk on a national road in the ward’s Umejima district around 12:30 p.m. on that day, and fled. She was confirmed dead later.
