Japanese mayor killed by Yakuza chief April 18, 2007

Posted by Al in : weird , trackback

Strange, but apparently true. A Japanese mayor, Iccho Ito of Nagasaki, was shot dead by a senior Yakuza member after his car was damaged at a construction site run by the council. Mayor Ito, and his council, refused to offer compensation as Tetsuya Shiroo had driven into a pot-hole in the construction site, where he probably should not have been driving. Shiroo was immediately arrested and is now awaiting trial – mayor Ito is dead.
