| This man's name is Yasumasa Shibutani, currently living in Matsudo, Chiba province and about 300m from Linh's house. |

| The Chiba prefectural police issued an arrest warrant for Shibutani after his DNA was found to match a DNA sample found at the scene where Nhat Linh's body was found. When he was arrested and taken into a police car, Shibutani did not resist. Although the police have not confirmed that he is the suspect in Nhat Linh's murder, they have confirmed that he was involved in dumping the body of the Vietnamese girl. |
