In a surprising development, a woman in Japan was recently apprehended for a murder committed 99 years ago, her avoidant behavior was attributed to her confession of not wanting to be caught. Further details about the circumstances surrounding the murder and the woman's identity remain undisclosed at this time. Authorities are continuing with the legal procedure and inspection of the case, which has drawn the attention of Japanese society due to its unique and particularly old nature.

In Japan, crimes like these often stir interest and debate, as the nation holds a relatively low crime rate and the highest conviction rate globally. Cold cases being solved after such a long time feed into the narrative of 'justice delayed, but not denied'. The emotional side of such cases, especially related to a suspect's motivations, tend to receive significant attention, reflecting societal values of understanding underlying reasons behind actions.

While cold cases are often pursued and sometimes solved in the US and EU, the fierce determination to solve such old cases may be somewhat stronger in Japan due to the cultural propensity for persistence, the unwillingness to 'leave things undone', and a high emphasis on justice.
