This is indeed good news! I hope there will finally be some justice and closure for the victim's family.

They are saying that he'd had altered his face BEFORE getting a job with that construction company. Now, where on earth did he get the money for the operation? :?

Well, if Japanese court statistics are to be trusted, Ishihara is a condemned man.
Thankfully this might at least lead to some sort of closure for the father of the murdered girl.
