Tokyo

Japan executed a man who robbed and killed a woman after plotting the crime with accomplices he met online. The execution brings to 12 the total number of death sentences carried out since Prime Minister Shinzo Abe took power in 2012. Tsukasa Kanda, 44, was hanged for killing 31-year-old Rie Isogai in Nagoya, central Japan, in 2007. He met his two accomplices via a mobile phone-based web service and the three of them together devised a plan to target a random woman victim.
