A 52-year-old restaurant owner was sentenced to 17 years in prison on September 4 for the brutal murder of his ex-girlfriend, Arisa Sato, 33, in Higashiosaka, Osaka Prefecture. Prosecutors alleged Nagahisa stabbed Sato multiple times in the abdomen and back with two kitchen knives at their home. The Osaka District Court described the attack as a "brutal crime" with over 60 wounds on Sato's body, and sentenced Nagahisa to 17 years despite his admission of guilt during his lay judge trial.
