Taiwanese tourist stabbed dead at Fuji hotel had warned she would not survive year

YAMANASHI (TR) – A 38-year-old Taiwanese woman found dead with stab wounds at a Fujikawaguchiko resort hotel had reportedly told a Taiwan magazine she feared her husband was plotting to kill her for a massive life insurance payout — and her alleged killer may have been his ex-lover, reports News Post Seven (Oct. 28).

Police in the town of Fujikawaguchiko are investigating the death of Jin Yunrong, 38, a Taiwanese national whose body was discovered with stab wounds to the neck inside her hotel room on October 19, just two days after she arrived in Japan as part of a group tour.

A hotel employee found Jin bleeding from a stab wound to the neck after she failed to appear at a scheduled assembly time, according to police. Fellow tour participant Yang Ming-han, 27, also Taiwanese, was found inside Jin’s room holding a kitchen knife and was subsequently arrested on suspicion of violating Japan’s Swords and Firearms Control Law.

Police are also investigating Yang’s possible involvement in Jin’s death, according to a reporter from a major national newspaper.

Yang has told investigators she visited Jin’s room intending to talk with her. The kitchen knife she was carrying is believed to have been purchased at a commercial facility outside Yamanashi Prefecture, police said.

What appeared on the surface to be a shocking incident between strangers on a tour has taken on a far darker dimension. Taiwan’s Mirror Weekly magazine has revealed that Jin contacted the publication before her death, confiding that she feared she might not survive until the end of the year.

According to the magazine’s reporting, cited by a journalist with expertise in overseas affairs, Jin had married her company’s president — a man nine years her junior — in July of this year.

The husband then immediately took out a large life insurance policy on her. He is also alleged to have told her, “Do you want to lose your hands and feet? You could get a lot of money.” Jin reportedly grew increasingly convinced her husband was plotting an insurance murder, prompting her desperate appeal to the magazine.

Romantic relationship

Investigators have since uncovered a possible link between the suspect and Jin’s husband, who also went on the trip and made the arrangements. Local police found evidence suggesting Yang and Jin’s husband may have been in a romantic relationship in the past.

Jin’s husband returned to Taiwan from Japan on October 24. He has since been arrested.

Taiwanese authorities have since searched seven locations — including the couple’s home — as part of an investigation into his potential connection to the incident.

A social media account believed to belong to Jin contained a post, written in Traditional Chinese, that read: “Help — where am I supposed to go in Tokyo? I don’t know my way around. Looks like I’ll just be cooped up in the hotel writing documents.” The post now reads as a haunting coda: within days of writing it, she was dead.

Investigations are ongoing in both Japan and Taiwan.

山梨（TR）——据《新闻邮报七》（10月28日）报道，一名38岁的台湾女子在富士河口湖一家度假酒店被发现身中数刀身亡，她曾告诉台湾一家杂志，她担心丈夫为了获得巨额人寿保险金而密谋杀害她——而据称的凶手可能是她的前情人。

富士河口湖镇警方正在调查38岁的台湾公民金云荣的死亡事件。10月19日，金云荣的尸体在其酒店房间内被发现，颈部有刀伤。当时她作为旅行团成员抵达日本仅两天。

据警方称，酒店员工发现金某未按时出现，颈部有刀伤，正在流血。同为旅行团成员的27岁台湾籍男子杨明翰在金某的房间内被发现，当时他手持一把菜刀，随后因涉嫌违反日本《刀剑和枪支管制法》而被捕。

据一家全国性主流报纸的记者报道，警方还在调查杨某是否与金某的死亡有关。

杨女士告诉调查人员，她去金女士的房间是为了和她谈话。警方称，她携带的菜刀据信是在山梨县以外的一家商铺购买的。

表面上看似一起陌生人在旅行途中发生的令人震惊的事件，如今却展现出更为黑暗的一面。台湾《镜报周刊》披露，金在去世前曾联系过该刊，透露她担心自己可能活不到年底。

据该杂志报道（一位精通海外事务的记者援引），金于今年7月嫁给了她所在公司的总裁——一位比她小9岁的男子。

随后，丈夫立即为她投保了一份巨额人寿保险。据称，他还对她说：“你想失去双手双脚吗？这样你就能拿到一大笔钱。” 据报道，金越来越确信丈夫正在策划一起骗取保险金的谋杀案，这促使她绝望地向杂志社求助。

恋爱关系

调查人员随后发现嫌疑人可能与金的丈夫有关联，金的丈夫也参加了这次旅行并负责安排行程。当地警方发现的证据表明，杨某和金的丈夫过去可能存在恋爱关系。

金的丈夫于10月24日从日本返回台湾，之后被警方逮捕。

此后，台湾当局搜查了七个地点，包括这对夫妇的住所，以调查他是否与该事件有关。

据信属于金的社交媒体账号上发布了一条用繁体中文写成的帖子，内容是：“求助——我在东京该去哪儿？我对路一无所知。看来我只能待在酒店里写文件了。” 这条帖子如今读来令人唏嘘：几天后，她便去世了。

日本和台湾方面都在进行调查。
