As if gaijin men didn't have a bad enough reputation...

[Samurai_Jerk]

I can't remember which one but I was reading comments about this story on a Japanese news site earlier today and someone suggested it was a set up by the Yakuza.

[Coligny]

At first I wuz like " yea sure, let's blame Obama too" then after reading the details it's more... How did they manage to make the gaijin take the blame...
Drowned alive tied to concrete...that's a 2 men job...
(Also, can I have the corpse ? Or is it still needed by someone)
(Also also... They cant indict him for abendoning a corpse if she was still alive when she was scuttled...

[legion]

From the link posted above I am not sure she was alive when she went into the water.

Is this a Joji Obara type incident?

Have they found the bathtub yet?

American man arrested for abandoning body of woman found in Kanagawa bay

Police arrested an American man Thursday on suspicion of abandoning the body of a woman found last week in a cove in Miura, Kanagawa Prefecture.

Gregory Joseph Gumo, 41, who lives in Yokohama and says he is unemployed, allegedly abandoned the body of Mariko Akitaya, 42, from Tokyo, on or around July 28 in Koajiro Bay. He has denied the allegation, the police said. Akitaya was identified through DNA testing.

A local resident found the body of the woman, who was wearing a dress, floating in the cove around 20 to 30 meters offshore on July 29. The body was wrapped in a sheet, bound with rope and had a piece of concrete attached.

As an autopsy found water in her lungs, police suspect Akitaya was thrown into the sea while she was alive.

Floating with concrete attached... Even for murder they fuck up the sand ratio in their concrete mix...

Fucking shithole...

[matsuki]

I'm curious what evidence they have/will find on the dude....

Also, I thought Japanese style was to dump the body in foundation or patio cement?

[Yokohammer]

I have noticed at least one small inconsistency in the media reports (which does not in any way indicate that the guy didn't do it, but still ... ).

The media has repeated that Gumo "hid" the fact that he had a wife and kids from his girlfriend, while at the same time pointing out that he publicly calls himself a "good father and family man" on the web (Linkedin or something, not sure). His GF has her own SNS presence and was clearly savvy enough that it would have been trivial for her to find that information.

Therefore, I don't see any "hiding" going on.

[matsuki]

As much as an attention whore as she looks like from her facebook, I'm pretty sure her stalking capability would be up to par. She is noted as "in a relationship" there as well so there's that. (other bf or?) Seeing how SOP for detectives here seems to be make and arrest and then search for evidence, instead of having probable cause...I won't be surprised if he is released without charges and some other murder scenario story comes out. So far, no confession...then again, totally conceivable he did the deed as well...cheating on the wife, she tries to blackmail him or something and he shuts her up for good?

but don't blame the victim

wonder if the guy has been here long enough to know if he refuses to admit guilt the cops don't have a plan B other than to conclude it was suicide

Not blaming her, point was she definitely should have known about wifey and kids.

Sounds like it, or he may be innocent? Don't know without more info but like I said, his whole thing with my friend was to get his wife some friends. She's in her early 30's so I figured it was some weird pickup thing but he never hit on her or "hid that he was married" so it's weird that anyone would report that he hid that from the deceased. I can also think of some stalker scenarios from the deceased but again, not enough info and nothing has come out to suggest that either.

(at least from what's public) It's pretty much nothing but bikini pics, accessory and vacation photos. Not too unusual for a teen or someone in their 20's but she's 42 yo. Not married, no pics of the relationship partner, bikini pics. Maybe I'm harsh but I see this as sluttin' around (not that there is anything wrong with that, I love sluts) so she is careful about what she can't post to scare off other guys. That doesn't qualify as attention whore in your book?

I saw a few bikini and vacation pics. She went to fashion school and worked at a cosmetics company so pictures of accessories make sense. It would be like you posting hockey related shit or Coligny posting pictures of cats and Russian military vehicles.

Funny that you're accusing anyone of being an attention whore or a slut.

It's literally nothing but that stuff...not exactly what you'd expect a 42 woman to be posting. That being said, more power to her if that's what made her happy.

Funny that you're accusing anyone of being an attention whore or a slut.

Anyhow, not looking good for him being innocent:

http://www.tokyoreporter.com/2015/08/07 ... ned-crime/

According to Nippon News Network (Aug. 6), security camera footage showed Gumo and Akitaya together just prior to the incident. During questioning by police prior to his arrest, the suspect admitted that the two had been together but denied involvement in the crime.

Police have confirmed that Gregory Gumo, a 41-year-old marketer and promoter in the entertainment industry, bought a rope and plastic sheet identical to those used in the dumping of the body of 42-year-old Mariko Akitaya.

On the morning of July 29, the body of Akitaya, a contract employee in the cosmetics industry, was found wrapped in a brown plastic sheet and floating about 20 meters off the coast in Koajiro Bay. A towing rope had been used to attach the body to a concrete block.

Police utilized an analysis of the evidence and inquiries with vendors to conclude that the items used in the crime are of the same type as those obtained by Gumo. The suspect purchased the equipment prior to the incident, police said.

According to Fuji News Network (Aug. 7), Gumo attempted to travel to the United States on an international flight from Haneda Airport on the day that Akitaya’s body was discovered.

Super tame... The only shocking detail is the lack of 42 bajilion pictures of waffle/salads and icecream ...

I want brain bleach now for having looked at a dead woman's Fuckbook page, but yes. Well put. Tame, lame, and Matsuki...........shame. That was standard issue fashion flopsy Facebook, nothing else. Almost tasteful, even, for an obvious bone skinny dipstick. She went to Fashion School. What did you expect, photos of first editions of Baudrillard's Political Economy of the Sign? Your Japan hatred is pathological.

Somebody owes me a Budweiser. In lieu of brain bleach.

[kurogane]

Feck yeah. BRAIN BLEACH. If Gregoriev Gumo is out by then I'm going with him and that brainless English cunt in the photos.

PS I thought that dead woman whose Facebook page I looked at looked perfectly not killable. Totally not doable either, but I hate the bonerack. Okay, she had a photo of an Antique Hamilton (WTF that is), so we probably weren't going to discuss the deeper implications of the Derrida Revolution and it implications for socioeconomic transformation in the post-symbolic semiosphere, but feck. Killin' some poor woman over a random humpy hump. Damn. Matsuki, Shame on you.

PS I have a really weird feeling I know the Japanese guy in the middle of the Gumo Branson spitroast photos............but then again, most 40 something media mogul types really do all look alike. Or it is the guy I met in Okinawa. Which could make Ishigaki in October Quite Interesting.

I really think his reaction is more about his hatred of women than it is his racism towards the Japanese.

[Salty]

...maybe he was cheating and killed to prevent being caught? I feel sorry for the family"

Brilliant...

Flawless...

Pure genius...

When will people understand that murder is a job and not a magic remedy to your screwups...

Screwups... screwing.... maybe the results of screwing? My guress is that she was pregnant, or claimed to be, and wanted him to give up his family for her, since all along he was saying he loved her. Of course he has now given up his family.... poor them, but may he rot in hell (erm, Japan prison).

Yikes - premeditated... maybe he will swing.
