Married Couple Who Murdered High School Girl Were Allegedly Virtual YouTubers

A husband and wife have been arrested by police after it was learned they murdered a Tokyo high school girl who had been in a relationship with the husband on social media, with those online learning the criminal couple were also apparently virtual YouTubers.

The wife (28-year-old Izumi) had become extremely jealous of the relationship between her husband (27-year-old Shohei Komori) and the high school girl (18-year-old Kana Washino), with all three deciding they should meet to resolve the conflict, though, Izumi was said to not be happy with how things played out.

The couple left their Gunma Prefecture home and picked up the high school girl in their car on August 28th, the girl telling her family she was going to meet some friends and that she would return shortly.

Unfortunately, on August 31st, police discovered Washino’s corpse at a Yamanashi Prefecture outbuilding, her body had been stabbed four times in the back and it is believed some strangulation with rope occurred due to marks on her neck.

The husband and wife were arrested for corpse abandonment on the same day Washino was found, and Shohei explained he met the girl on Twitter two years ago, his interactions with her greatly upsetting his wife Izumi:

“I came to know her on the SNS about two years ago and communicated with her,” Komori was quoted as telling police. “My wife was jealous of that.”

“I wanted him to cut off all communications, so I tried to have a talk among three of us,” his wife said.

Washino spent the night at the couple’s abode on August 28th, and the husband and wife admitted to murdering the innocent girl in an outbuilding (where rope was found) located in Yamanashi’s Hayakawa two days later.

The aforementioned outbuilding had been locked by way of a padlock upon the arrival of police, stirring assumptions the murderers were trying to conceal the corpse.

A security camera near Washino’s residence contained footage of the girl entering the vehicle driven by the murderous pair.

One of the culprits was quoted as saying “We searched for a place to kill her”, leading police to theorize they had planned to kill the girl after their discussion turned sour.

Internet sleuths were digging into the matter and it was alleged that both the husband and wife were virtual YouTubers:

Both accounts not tweeting past August 28th supports this theory.

The administrator of the VTuber group known as “Akai Neko Ikka” was alleged to have mentioned the death of the victim in this news story through a tweet, though the victim’s supposed Twitter account has since been deleted:

The aforementioned administrator’s Twitter account has also been deleted, perhaps further proving the Twitter information is accurate:
