France promises trial over missing Japanese student 0 SHARES Share it! Narumi Kurosaki, 21, went missing in December 2016 from her university residence in Besancon, a town near the Alps in eastern France, after having dinner with her Chilean ex, Nicolas Zepeda. Zepeda, who is the sole suspect, returned to Chile shortly after she went missing before investigators could issue an arrest warrant. “French judicial authorities will formalize an extradition request this autumn which will be presented to their Chilean counterparts,” Manteaux told reporters in Besancon. Until now, France has not sent a formal extradition request, with most countries reluctant to extradite their own nationals for trials overseas.
