Japanese guy found strangled in Lahore
2003-06-03
LAHORE: The body of a Japanese middle-aged man, Osamu Mari Kawa, was found behind the Rangers Headquarters, a few hundred yards away from the Allama Iqbal International Airport on Monday.
"Osamu"?
Superintendent of Police (SP) Cantt Dr Usman said an anonymous caller tipped off the police who reached the spot and found the body with its hand and legs tied with a piece of rope. They also found another length of rope which the police said might have been used to strangle Osamu as there were rope marks around his neck. The SP said there were torture marks on the body as well but said it was premature to speculate on the motive as the Japanese national’s luggage was found with his body.
Somebody didn't like the cut of his turban...

#2  Osamu is a common Japanese first name. Perhaps he just got jumped. Most people in the world think that Japanese are all rich so they make perfect mugging or kidnap targets, plus they're more docile that Americans. Furthermore, they're infidels.
