YOKOHAMA (Kyodo) An investigation into an assault on a 68-year-old woman Wednesday in Kawasaki has prompted police to probe last week's death of a 9-year-old boy at the same condominium complex, thought to be an accidental fall, as a possible murder.
The woman was attacked by a man Wednesday on the outside corridor of the 15th floor, believed to be near where Yuki Yamakawa, 9, fell to his death, police officials said.
A man thought to be about 30 years old lured the woman, who was cleaning the first-floor corridor, to the 15th floor at around 9:30 a.m., telling her there was garbage that needed to be cleaned up.
