The last thing I saw about the body in Okinawa was on 22 Dec in the Ryukyu Shinpo: http://ryukyushimpo.jp/news/storyid-139226-storytopic-1.html Not a very common occurance down here, so it caught my attention but I haven't heard anything else about it.

That story seemed to have been mentioned once and then never talked about again (once again going back to that point you raised in the original blog post). It hasn't been on local news or in the past 2 days as I've actually been watching it, not being at work. Not in the local newspapers either from what I've read.

I think this case is a pretty big deal. It seems like the guys original plan was to dispose of the body in a cooler box and try to get away with it. It's pretty sad. I wouldn't have written about it if it were in the national news like it should be. We'll see if the trial is a big deal. I am assuming it will be since the death penalty may be an issue... of course I'm sure there are even some death penalty cases here that remain local or at least somewhat media-silent. Dave, if you hear anything about this in national news please write it up! People should know about this news (and maybe the taxi driver murders even more). The last taxi driver attacked by the way lived, so hopefully some more information will be coming soon. (I've heard a rumor that the taxi murderers were underaged kids.)
