The story

The incident came to light at a convenience store in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, after a customer reported, “There’s a woman covered in blood in the restroom.” A 22-year-old woman with Brazilian nationality was arrested on suspicion of slashing a 20-year-old woman with what appeared to be a razor and attempting to kill her. On 5ch, discussion focused less on the details of the incident itself and more on peripheral questions — whether the shuttle bus driver had noticed anything unusual, how companies that employ foreign workers should respond, and what happens if the suspect ends up not being indicted.

Didn't the bus driver report it?

Well, Japan's strict about punctuality, gotta arrive at the destination on time.

If a company has no choice but to hire foreigners because of a labor shortage, it might as well go under.
Looking back years from now, this will be a huge net negative for the country.
The price we'll pay for chasing nothing but cheap labor is going to be enormous.

Then you go find somewhere for all the current employees to land.

Not indicted — prosecutors have not disclosed the reason for the non-indictment.

Re: #135
If she's not indicted, they probably just send her back to her home country, right?
Indicting and taking to trial → prison over some minor fight or crime between foreigners would just be a waste of tax money.
Prisons would overflow too.

They don't send them back.

You can't be deported just because you weren't indicted.

Other than an actual razor, what counts as a "razor-like object"?

Re: #161
A coupe knife (the blade bakers use to score bread dough) is basically a razor…

There was an incident before in Chiryu where someone grabbed a gun from a police officer and the officer got shot.
That one was Brazilian too.

That's exactly why cops who won't shoot are the problem — it just raises the odds someone else ends up dead.

Background and Discussion Points

At this point, all that’s confirmed by reporting is that police responded after a report from a convenience store employee, and a 22-year-old woman with Brazilian nationality was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. The motive, the relationship between the two women, and what the shuttle bus driver knew at the time all remain unclear. Some posts on the thread claimed that “if she’s not indicted, she can’t be deported,” but that actually depends on residency status and individual immigration procedures, so drawing that conclusion at this arrest stage is premature. Speculation about the nationality and relationship of the victim and suspect also circulated, but none of it is backed up by reporting. It’s worth keeping in mind that much of the discussion functioned less as commentary on the incident itself and more as an outlet for grievances about the acceptance of foreign workers.
