In the murder case of a 62-year-old man who was found decapitated in a hotel room in the Susukino area of Sapporo City, Hokkaido, a person of interest dressed in dark clothing who left the hotel did not flee in a taxi, according to investigators. The dead man’s cell phone, which police believed was turned off by the person of interest to avoid detection while escaping, was not found at the scene.
