The funeral of a taxi driver who was stabbed to death in the Kanagawa Prefecture city of Yokosuka last week was held in Tokyo on Tuesday, drawing about 100 people.

Relatives and colleagues of the murdered 61-year-old driver, Masaaki Takahashi, gathered at a funeral hall in Tokyo's Shinagawa-ku to mourn his death.

"He was cheerful and had a lot of friends, and I can't believe he was killed like that," said a 53-year-old taxi driver who had been close with Takahashi for 20 years. "I want them to apprehend the criminal as soon as possible."
