The corpses of 44-year-old Mikio Miyazawa, his 41-year-old wife Yasuko, and their children, 8-year-old Niina and 6-year-old Rei, were discovered by Yasuko's mother in their home in Tokyo
On 31 December 2000, the corpses of 44-year-old Mikio Miyazawa, his 41-year-old wife Yasuko, and their children, 8-year-old Niina and 6-year-old Rei, were discovered by Yasuko's mother in their home in Tokyo.
Their house/ the murder scene
Mikio, Yasuko, and Niina had been stabbed and 6 year old Rei had been strangled.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police found out that the killer stayed at their house for several hours after murdering them.The killer entered through the open window of the second floor bathroom at the rear of the house (he gained access by climbing up a tree and then removing the window screen). The killer used his bare hands to strangle Rei, who was sleeping in his room on the second floor, killing him through asphyxiation. Mikio rushed up the first floor stairs after he detected the disturbance in Rei's room. He fought and managed to injure the killer until being stabbed in the head with a knife. A police report claimed that a part of the knife's blade broke off inside Mikio's head, and the killer then attacked Yasuko and Niina with the broken knife until reaching a knife from the victims' house's kitchen to murder them.
The victims
The killer remained inside the house for 2 to 10 hours, using the family computer, consuming tea, melon, and ice cream from their refrigerator, using their toilet and leaving his feces in it without flushing, treating his injuries using first aid kits and other sanitary products, and taking a nap on a sofa in the second floor living room.
An analysis of Mikio’s computer revealed that it had connected to the internet the morning after the murders at 1:18 a.m. and again at around 10 a.m., around the time Yasuko's mother, Haruko entered the house and discovered the murders. Haruko became suspicious after being unable to call her daughter (the killer had unplugged the phone line) and visited the house but received no answer after ringing the doorbell. Authorities believe the killer had stayed in the house until at least 1:18 a.m. but the computer usage at 10 a.m. could have also been accidentally triggered by Haruko during her discovery of the crime scene.

Even though the police had the killers blood, hand prints and feces, they couldn't identify the killer.
To this day, the killer is a mystery and is roaming with the public of Japan.
