TOKYO: Two Japanese men were killed in Dalian, a city in northeastern China, and a suspect has been detained, Kyodo News reported on Tuesday (June 3), citing the Japanese embassy in China.
Chinese police notified the Japanese consulate in Shenyang on May 25 about the killings, saying they resulted from a business dispute between acquaintances, the report said.
The incident follows a fatal stabbing of a 10-year-old Japanese schoolboy in Shenzhen, southern China, in September, and a knife attack in June 2024 at the bus stop of a Japanese school in Suzhou, near Shanghai, in which a Chinese woman was killed and a Japanese mother and child were injured.
Two Chinese men convicted of the fatal stabbings in Shenzhen and Suzhou were separately executed earlier in 2025. - Agencies
