Gangster’s wife said she got police relative to kill Fukuoka man in Philippines
Fukuoka Prefectural Police have set up a joint investigation control center at Nishi Police Station to probe the disappearance of Shinichiro Takagi, 29, a company employee from Fukuoka’s Nishi-ku.
Takagi has not been seen since he left a hotel in Manila at around 9 p.m. on May 11 last year. Takagi was supposed to stay at the hotel for a few days after he checked in there earlier the same day.
Prefectural police had earlier dispatched investigators to Manila to probe the case after the 29-year-old Filipino wife of a gangster, with whom Takagi had been acquainted, told investigators that she asked a relative who is a police officer in the Philippines to kill Takagi.
Investigators will further question the yakuza and his wife and may press murder charges against them. The pair has been indicted over a false marriage scam.
