Belgian Authorities Reportedly Closer To Learning Identity Of Victim In 2007’s Manga Murder Case

Anime News Network has been paying close attention to blogs with a focused interest in and greater proximity to police matters like 2007's "manga murder" case, where a victim was found in a public space near a note that carried a misspelling of a phrase from the Death Note series. Their latest missive, on the heels of the September arrest of four men on charges related to the crime, indicates that the victim may be identified soon and that identification may place him squarely into the social circle of the accused. It's an interesting story, and while the manga tie provides it with a lurid hook, what compels is the range of possible pathologies that may have been work -- or a lack of them altogether.
