Trio of strangers commit group suicide in Saitama hotel

Monday, 18 February 2008

KAWAGOE, Saitama -- A group of two men and a woman appear to have committed a group suicide in a hotel here over the weekend, police said.

Three bodies were found in the hotel together with a suicide note.

The dead included a 35-year-old unemployed man from Asaka, Saitama Prefecture, a 19-year-old male university student from Chita, Aichi Prefecture, and a 23-year-old female university student from Tokyo's Meguro-ku.

None of the three knew each other and police believe they met up through an online site and agreed to die together.
