Police officers on Friday paid their respects outside a home in Tokyo's Setagaya Ward, where a family of four was murdered 11 years ago.
Each year, at this time, police hand out flyers appealing for information at a nearby train station, in the hope that someone will come forward with new information.
Mikio Miyazawa, 44, his 41-year-old wife Yasuko, 8-year-old daughter Niina, and 6-year-old son Rei, were found dead on the morning of Dec 31, 2000. Miyazawa's son had been strangled, and the other three had been stabbed to death. Fingerprints and other evidence in the home indicate the killer used the computer and ate ice cream after the attack on Dec 30, spending up to 11 hours before leaving the next morning. (Japan Times)
