Too Eager Too
Eriko Kawaguchi, 32, of Tokyo, Japan, has been arrested for allegedly hiring a hit man to kill her lover’s wife. Yet another example of hiring an undercover cop for the job? No, Kawaguchi was not that stupid. But after allegedly paying the contract killer 15 million yen (US$134,500), he didn’t get the job done — so she went to the Tama Chuo police station to complain about his failure to do the job she paid him to do. Takaharu Tabe, 40, the alleged hit man, was also arrested. (Mainichi Daily News) ...If he gets out on bail, I think I know what his first job will be.
