Aoba lived alone on the ground floor of a two-floor apartment building on the outskirts of Omiya, a commuter suburb of Tokyo and 500km east of Kyoto. His next-door neighbour recalled Aoba as pudgy and unkempt, with blemished skin. I would regularly hear him go out around midnight," the neighbour, a 27-year-old man who declined to be identified, told Reuters. It started when Aoba began pounding on the wall to complain about noise, the neighbour said.
