@japannewsnowofficial: A 39-year-old Japanese woman was found strangled inside a Naha hotel room after security cameras recorded a 20-year-old US Marine leaving alone with her belongings. Police say Anna Yagi, a Naha resident, was killed between 2:10 and 4:17 a.m. Saturday at the Naminoue Crystal Hotel. Staff discovered her after the room was not checked out on time. No drugs were found in her system, and her wallet and backpack were later recovered near the hotel. Twenty-one hours later, at 1:39 a.m. Sunday, police arrested Lance Corporal Devin Jacob Ballard outside Kadena Air Base. Ballard, assigned to I!! Marine Expeditionary Force at Marine Corps Air Station Futenma, denies the charges. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi called the killing "extremely brutal and vicious." Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi called it unacceptable. Okinawa's governor plans to protest in Tokyo, while the Marine Corps and US Ambassador George Glass pledged cooperation. About 18,000 Marines are based in Japan, most on Okinawa. Should off-duty Marines be confined to base after serious incidents?
