Chinese graduate student stabbed to death in her Tokyo apartment building

A 24-year-old Chinese female graduate student from Qingdao, Shandong province, has been stabbed to death in her apartment building in Tokyo.

Jiang Ge, who went to Japan in April last year to study for a master’s degree in one of the most prestigious law schools in Japan, Hosei University, was killed around dawn on Thursday, the Beijing Youth Daily reported.

Jiang was stabbed in the throat and body, after a loud argument in the corridor of the apartment building, the report said.

Jiang’s female flatmate called the police after hearing loud quarrelling in the corridor, and police found Jiang lying in a pool of blood when they arrived. They rushed her to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Chinese news portal Huanqiu.com reported that a witness saw a man in the corridor at around the time Jiang was attacked.
