Woman in Japan stabbed to death after reporting that former lover was stalking her
On Wednesday (30 Sept), a 23-year-old woman was found bleeding profusely just outside of her apartment in Okinawa, Japan.
Police received an alert at 8.30am and rushed to the scene where they discovered Rin Zamami unconscious.
According to Yomiuri Shimbun, paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene.
Woman had reported former lover stalking her
At the time of the murder, Ms Zamami was living with her young child. An autopsy concluded that she had died due to stab wounds on her neck that led to fatal blood loss. She also had multiple defensive wounds on her arms.
Police said the victim had reported to police in Dec 2025 that her boyfriend had been stalking her.
She had requested for authorities to make him stop harassing her online.
In Feb 2026, police issued a restraining order against the victim’s former lover due to his stalker behaviour.
Unfortunately, in Sept, Ms Zamami alerted police that a tracking device had been attached to her car.

He was conveyed to the hospital for his injuries, with the police planning to question him at a later date.
