The investigation into the deaths of Japanese citizens, Matsuba Nurio (73) and Matsuba Hiroko (70), continues. In the latest developments, officers have detected the footprint of the perpetrator, as reported by beritabali.com.
Police explained, after the Japanese citizens were found dead, officers checked for fingerprints of the perpetrator at different places in the victims’ home. After finger prints were taken, they also found footprints on the first floor of the house, on the stairs and on the second floor.
“On the second floor, a sample of the perpetrator’s hand was taken on a cushion and wood,” police sources said on Wednesday (13/9).
