Two of the six victims are now believed to have been choked to death, in what appears to have been a case of domestic violence
Two out of six people who were found dead at a home in southwestern Japan earlier this week had signs of being choked, while the others had sustained cut wounds, investigative sources said on Wednesday.
Police so far suspect that Masahiro Iihoshi, a 42-year-old resident of the house in Takachiho, Miyazaki Prefecture, had problems with his wife Mikiko, 41, which may have led to the killing of her, their two children and his parents.
