Japanese Police have arrested a Pakistani national for the murder of a Russian woman.

Soka police say factory worker Mohammad Alam, 38, a resident of nearby Koshigaya, has confessed to stabbing 23-year-old Korpacheva Anastasia Vitaljevna to death. He was found sitting in a car in a convenience store parking lot early on Monday morning in Tatebayashi, Gunma Prefecture, with an acquaintance.

Police in Saitama prefecture near Tokyo had been searching for Mohammad Alam, 38, since Friday when 23-year-old Anastasia Korpacheva was found stabbed in the neck. She was confirmed dead at a hospital.Just an hour before the incident, Korpacheva had visited a local police box with her 57-year-old Japanese husband and complained that she was being stalked by the Pakistani man.‘After consulting with a police officer, she had planned to visit the city's police station in the afternoon,” a police spokesman said.‘The Pakistani man is basically admitting to the charge,’ he said. ‘He is saying that he was dating her.’ It was not immediately known why Alam was in Japan.

That's were Paschen lived before he moved. Its still very unusual for a non Japanese to commit murder. I think out of about 100 or so imates on death row, only 2 or 3 are non Japanese.

There's quite a large muslim community in Japan, here in Kobe City there was the first Mosque built in 1939, and survived the fire bombing of World War II, and the big earthquake in 1995. Actually very close to this Mosque is a synagogue and both Jewish people and Muslims live peacefully side by side, even conducting business together, which here is usually selling and buying pearls.
