Two women were killed and another person was injured Thursday night in a stabbing incident at a Shinto shrine in Tokyo. The male suspect then committed suicide, police said.
Shigenaga Tomioka, 56, is suspected of having attacked his 58-year-old sister Nagako Tomioka, the chief priest of the Tomioka Hachimangu shrine, the Metropolitan Police Department said.
Shigenaga and a woman in her 30s, believed to be his girlfriend, apparently ambushed Nagako, fatally stabbing her after she got out of a car on the grounds of the shrine in Tokyo’s Koto Ward.
The chauffeur also got out of the car, and was chased by Tomioka’s girlfriend who wielded a samurai sword.
