Sailor wanted for questioning in taxi driver's death now in custody
The Kanagawa Prefectural Police believe the sailor has some information on the stabbing since a credit card in his name was found in the taxi, a police spokesman said Saturday. However, he said the sailor was not a suspect and that he did not know if police would question the sailor, only that they planned to coordinate with the Navy on the investigation.
As of Saturday afternoon, there had been no request from Japanese authorities to interview the sailor, but the Navy will cooperate if asked, Waterman said.
