KANAZAWA, Ishikawa Pref. (Kyodo) A former contract cameraman for NHK was arrested Monday on suspicion of burying a slain woman on a local beach last week.
The 35-year-old cameraman, who worked at NHK's Kanazawa broadcast station, tried to commit suicide Feb. 18 after police questioned him on a voluntary basis. He was taken from a hospital and is undergoing treatment.
Although he had fallen unconscious and was in serious condition after the suicide attempt at his home in Kanazawa, the police determined he had recovered enough to be incarcerated.
