Note: I try to repeat the Japanese thread as closely as possible here. Where I do make some editorial additions I’ll put them in [ ], though I do occasionally soften the posters’ tone.
The first official document is the Niigata Prefectural Police press release from December 9th, 2018.
◯◯ and the Criminal Mobile Task Force today (12/9) arrested normally the following two named as assault suspects.
[◯◯ = blacked-out]
“A”: Date and time of arrest (December 9th, 9:17am) “B”: Date and time of arrest (December 9th, 9:20am)
Almost all the details of the arrest are blacked out
The first blacked-out (◯◯) spot is (Niigata Station), which has Maison de Richelieu under its jurisdiction The jurisdiction of the site of the incident was Niigata Station, so “Niigata Station” should be entered here.
The “Criminal Mobile Task Force” is an organization in the police headquarters, so there was an arrangement to use this police headquarters unit
In other words, this is saying that both the Niigata Station and police headquarters worked to affect the arrests.
Note it is written, “arrested normally”. There are 3 types of arrest: “red-handed arrest”, “arrest without warrant”, and “normal arrest”; only a “normal arrest” is an arrest with a warrant from the court.
That is to say it was decided there was good reason, sufficient for getting an arrest warrant from the court.
2: The two named suspects are arrested almost simultaneously, and the report is published about an hour later.
Some reports had the detail that the two named suspects “are living together”. However, if you look at the blacked-out parts for the two named suspects’ addresses, it’s evident they are of different lengths. So it is possible the two suspects may have different addresses.
Furthermore, as to whether either of them lived in Maison de Richelieu, At first glance, since the blacked-out part is short you might think it’s probably not “Maison de Richelieu”, but police press releases often just give addresses as “◯◯-chome”. Therefore it is possible the address written there for either of them residing at Richelieu is “Niigata City, Chuo Ward, Sasaguchi 2-chome”.
3: Details: The description being, “The two named suspects inflicted an assault”.
Just the subject and predicate are written. The rest is blacked-out.
In order to avoid misunderstandings with this notation, the subject and predicate must always be connected.
What can be read from here on says, “(Not just 1 but) the 2 named […] inflicted the assault”.
The Niigata Nippo More article from January 10, 2019 seems to have been made based on what was written in the Details section.
