Japanese AV (adult video) actor, Rina Arano has been found dead by the Japanese police. According to reports, the late star had been missing since 5th June, before her parents decided to lodge a police report three days later.
Arano’s body was found naked, and tied to a tree in a remote forest located in Ibaraki, Japan. Prior to that, the 23-year-old was reportedly caught on a CCTV footage outside a train station in Ibaraki Prefecture.
In the footage, Arano was seen getting off a train, and heading towards a car with a man named Hiroyuki Sanpei. She was never seen again after that. In addition, it’s also reported that both of them had been exchanging text messages before she went missing. He was arrested last week on suspicions of abducting and confining Arano.
As per the police, Sanpei had picked up the deceased actress, before they made their way to his villa in Hitachiota. However, the suspect has denied the allegations. According to him, he took Arano to the villa, and then dropped her off at a nearby store later on. He also said that he handcuffed her briefly, but with her consent. Sampei claimed that he’s unsure on where Arano went after she left. However, the police stated that her cellphone was found inside his home.
Investigators also believed that the suspect had dumped her body in an inconspicuous place, on a slope about six metres below a forest road near Sanpei’s villa. Half of the victim’s body was reported to have rotted, but there were no noticeable external injuries on the body.
Up ’till this day, Sanpei has not been charged. Investigators have yet to conclude their investigation.
