Three dead after uninvited funeral executive crashes cake shop mahjong party with knife, gasoline

GIFU (TR) – Gifu Prefectural Police are investigating a horrifying suspected arson and fatal stabbing at a popular cake shop in Motosu City last week that left three people dead.

Among the deceased was an uninvited man found naked and severely burned in a car outside the premises, reports TV Asahi (Sep. 7).

The incident occurred around 9:00 p.m. on September 5 at Sunrise, a cake shop surrounded by farmland. Panic erupted when emergency dispatchers received frantic calls reporting, “Someone was stabbed,” “Gasoline is being spread,” and “There is a fire.”

At the time of the attack, the 66-year-old female owner of the shop was hosting a gathering of 10 former classmates in her second-floor residence above the store. Witnesses who spoke to fleeing guests said the group had been playing mahjong when the violence broke out.

After firefighters controlled the blaze, authorities discovered two bodies in the ruins of the building. A male victim was found on the first floor, having bled to death from a stab wound that pierced his aorta. A female victim discovered on the second floor died from acute carbon monoxide poisoning, with no noticeable external injuries.

The 66-year-old shop owner was also rushed to the hospital for treatment. Her current condition remains unknown.

The third fatality was identified as 70-year-old Hiroshi Hayashi, a funeral company executive from nearby Mizuho City. Police revealed that Hayashi was the “11th person” at the scene — an uninvited guest who was not part of the classmate reunion.

Hayashi was discovered in the driver’s seat of a car in the shop’s parking lot. One witness described the scene to the network, noting that Hayashi was completely naked and suffering from massive burns. The witness also recalled hearing arriving police officers aggressively questioning him, asking, “Did you stab them?”

Hayashi was transported to a hospital but later died from his injuries.

Another witness who heard the initial commotion from a distance reported hearing a man angrily shouting followed by a woman screaming, describing the violent sounds as “abnormal.”

Police strongly suspect Hayashi was the perpetrator behind the deadly arson and stabbing. Investigators are currently working to determine his motive and the sequence of events that led him to crash the gathering.

岐阜（TR）——岐阜县警方正在调查上周发生在本栖市一家人气蛋糕店的骇人听闻的疑似纵火和致命刺杀案，该案造成三人死亡。

据朝日电视台（9月7日）报道，死者中有一名不速之客，他被发现赤身裸体地躺在房屋外的一辆车里，全身严重烧伤。

事件发生在9月5日晚上9点左右，地点位于一家名为“日出”的蛋糕店，该店周围环绕着农田。紧急调度员接到多个惊慌失措的报警电话，称“有人被刺伤”、“有人泼洒汽油”和“发生火灾”，现场顿时陷入恐慌。

袭击发生时，这家商店66岁的女店主正在她位于商店楼上二楼的家中招待10位老同学聚会。据目击者称，他们与逃离现场的客人交谈时得知，事发时这群人正在打麻将。

消防员控制火势后，当局在建筑物废墟中发现了两具尸体。一名男性死者在一楼被发现，因刺穿主动脉而失血过多死亡。一名女性死者在二楼被发现，死于急性一氧化碳中毒，身上没有明显的外伤。

这位66岁的店主也被紧急送往医院接受治疗。她目前的状况尚不清楚。

第三名死者被确认为70岁的林博史，他是附近瑞穗市一家殡仪公司的高管。警方透露，林博史是现场的“第11人”——一位不速之客，他并非同学聚会的成员。

林某被发现时坐在商店停车场一辆车的驾驶座上。一名目击者向媒体描述了现场情况，称林某全身赤裸，身上有多处大面积烧伤。该目击者还回忆说，他听到赶到的警察咄咄逼人地盘问他：“你刺伤他们了吗？”

林被送往医院，但后来因伤势过重不治身亡。

另一名从远处听到最初骚动的目击者称，他听到一名男子愤怒地大喊，随后一名女子尖叫，他形容这些暴力的声音“不正常”。

警方强烈怀疑林某是这起致命纵火和刺杀案的凶手。调查人员目前正在努力查明他的作案动机以及导致他闯入聚会的事件经过。
