Washington Post: Japanese leaders reacted with outrage after a U.S. Marine veteran was arrested Thursday in connection with the death of a Japanese woman near a U.S. air base on the island of Okinawa.
Kenneth Franklin Gadson, a 32-year-old civilian contractor at Kadena Air Base, admitted to strangling the woman, his defense attorney told Stars and Stripes — though the attorney questioned the condition under the which the admission was made.
Rina Shimabukuro had been missing since last month. The 20-year-old’s body was discovered in a wooded location Thursday after Gadson told investigators where to look, according to the Associated Press.
Japanese media identified Gadson, who also goes by his Japanese wife’s family name of Shinzato, as a U.S. Marine veteran and the U.S. military confirmed that on Friday morning. His mother told The Washington Post that her son was in the Marines from 2007 until 2014.
“They say he’s locked up in jail, killed somebody,” said Shirley Gadson, 63, over the telephone from her home in New York City early Friday morning. She said she learned Kenneth had been arrested when Japanese police called her on Thursday.
“I got scared. I got nervous. Oh my God,” she said. “I didn’t hear from him for two years.”
In a statement posted online, Kadena Air Base said a civilian employee had been arrested in connection to a woman’s disappearance.
“A civilian employee of a company contracted to provide services to U.S. military installations was arrested by Okinawa Prefectural Police yesterday in connection with the disappearance and death of an Okinawan woman,” the statement said. “Our heartfelt prayers and condolences are with the victim’s family, friends, and loved ones. We also send our deepest sympathies to the people of Japan and express our gratitude for the trust that they place in our bilateral alliance and the people of the United States.”
