Police found Tsunemi tied with power cables to the bed inside room No 719 on the seventh floor. His alleged captors, who were arrested in the room, were identified as Kobari Masato, Reo Tsuruzoe and Miyata Kiyoto. The wife and Watanabe’s friends told police that the businessman might have been abducted by his Japanese friend, a construction contractor, with whom he has a long-running feud. Police traced the car and managed to rescue the Japanese businessman. Later on, he suspected that Tsuruzoe had allegedly stolen valuables worth 15 million yen from the house so Watanabe filed complaints against them with Japanese police.
