The brutal murder of a family of four in Tokyo’s Setagaya Ward remains unresolved a quarter century after the crime, despite many clues left at the scene, such as fingerprints and bloodstains, and police are continuing their desperate search for whoever is responsible for the fatal assault case.

As suspects in some other murder cases that had long been unsolved were arrested this year, Tokyo’s Metropolitan Police Department is redoubling efforts to identify a suspect in the Setagaya case while trying to prevent the incident from being forgotten.

In March this year, for example, a man was arrested for allegedly killing a former co-worker in 2003. A woman was also arrested in late October on suspicion of murdering a housewife in Nagoya in 1999.
