Beautiful young mother allegedly behind murder in Tochigi

That cutie on social media may have a dark side.

It’s one of the most sensational crimes in recent days, made even more sensational by the woman allegedly behind it.

The 28-year-old Kaito Takemae and his 25-year-old wife, Miyu (sometimes Miyuu), are suspected of hiring four high school students to break into a house in Tochigi, where they stabbed and killed the 69-year-old resident. All four students were quickly apprehended by police. Kaito and Miyu are accused of directing the students during the crime.

Kaito was arrested at Haneda Airport while trying to flee the country. Miyu was arrested a business hotel where she was hiding out with their young child.

Attention has focused on Miyu, a very attractive young mother who was apparently friends with the popular influencer/model Monako, and maintained her own active social media presence, where she documented the K-pop concerts she went to. In another life, she could have been just another of the countless number of beautiful models and influencers that compete for attention on Instagram and other platforms.

The contrast between the images of Miyu in police custody and her former life of Disney selfies and dance TikTok videos is shocking.

Miyu is an only child from Nagano who attended university in Tokyo. At some point, she met Kaito and became pregnant with their child last year.

The last time that a suspect’s beauty so dominated discussion of the case was back in October, with the arrest of the beautiful 21-year-old girls bar employee.

The case is being reported as yet another example of yami-baito, the “dark part-time jobs” where young, desperate people are recruited available for “quick buck” work that turns out to be criminal, and a crime by a tokuryu, a “decentralized” and “fluid” crime group. Such groups are hired and put together via apps and websites, and disperse after the crime is done.
