A man killed three people, including his sister and himself, with a samurai during a vicious assault at a religious shrine in Tokyo, Japan.
The brutal attack, which took place on Thursday night at the Tomioka Hachimangu shrine, was captured on CCTV and showed head priestess Nagako Tomioka, 58, being attacked by her brother, Shigenaga, 56, and her brother’s wife, Mariko,49, according to Kyodo News.
After attacking his sister, Shigenaga apparently turned the sword on his wife and fellow assailant before then taking his own life, reports the Japan Times, citing the Metropolitan Police Department.
Nagako’s driver was also injured in the attack, which was launched as the priestess exited her car, but he survived. Mariko reportedly chased the driver for 100 meters before slashing his right arm and chest.
