The widow of a self-made billionaire and best-selling author from Wakayama who dubbed himself the “Don Juan of Kishu” was indicted by prosecutors Wednesday for his murder in 2018.
The decision to indict 25-year-old Saki Sudo for the murder of her husband, 77-year-old Kosuke Nozaki, a real estate mogul and liquor sales company owner, came despite a lack of clear evidence that she committed the crime and no confession. She has also been charged with violating the stimulant drug control law.
Attention now turns to how the prosecution will attempt to prove its case.
