It’s still an open murder case after a year.
The family of slain Japanese steelpan player Asami Nagakiya and officials of the Japanese Embassy in Port-of-Spain continue to live in hope that investigation into her murder a year ago will soon be closed.
“We hope this unfortunate incident will be solved in the near future,” said deputy head of the Japanese mission, Masatushi Soto yesterday.
“We also hope as Carnival 2017 approaches, Japanese nationals come for Carnival and stay and such a tragic incident will not occur again.”
The body of Nagakiya, 31, was found on Ash Wednesday last year under a tree in the Savannah on Queen’s Park West.
Clad in the yellow Legacy costume in which she’d played mas on Carnival Tuesday, the body bore lacerations to the head, arms and legs, suggesting a struggle. An autopsy showed that she had been strangled.

Go back and read all the posts from a year ago and see how everybody had the utmost confidence in the TRINIDAD POLICE solving this crime EXPEDITIOUSLY!!!
There were three prominent murders of young women over the last year in Trinidad and the coroner declared that all three were strangled but NONE OF THE WOMEN WERE RAPED.
LONG ODDS!!!
