Man detained over death of 2 Japanese

A Chinese man has been detained on suspicion of killing two Japanese men over business disputes, police in Dalian, Liaoning province, said on Tuesday. Preliminary investigations showed that the victims, both Japanese nationals who were visiting the city, were identified as former business partners of the suspect, a 42-year-old Chinese citizen surnamed Yuan. The killings were triggered by disputes over business cooperation, according to the Dalian Public Security Bureau. The bureau said it received a report on May 23 about a criminal case involving two deaths in the Pulandian district of Dalian. On May 24, the bureau apprehended Yuan, who had previously resided in Japan for a long time. Yuan's full name was not disclosed. He is currently in criminal detention. Local authorities recently informed the victims' families about the case, and relevant departments assisted with the cremation of the remains of the two victims and other arrangements. The families returned to Japan on Sunday, the bureau said.
