名古屋主婦殺害で遺族が提訴　被告女に損害賠償請求（共同通信） - Yahoo!ニュース

This page reports on a lawsuit filed by the husband and eldest son of Namiko Takawa, a housewife murdered in Nagoya in 1999, against Kumiko Yasufuku (69), who is charged with murder. They are seeking damages including lost earnings of approximately 3.96 million yen, consolation money, funeral expenses, and apartment rent incurred to preserve the crime scene. A key issue is Japan's civil law provision that compensation claims expire 20 years after the wrongful act.
