Japanese Man Accused Of Killing Wife Arrives In LA

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― A Japanese businessman accused of killing his wife in 1981 has arrived in Los Angeles.

A plane carrying 61-year-old Kazuyoshi Miura landed early Friday at Los Angeles International Airport from Honolulu via Saipan where he had fought extradition.

He was taken into custody and was expected to be booked by police.

Miura is accused of conspiring to have his wife shot when they were visiting Los Angeles in 1981.

Someone shot them as they stood by a downtown parking lot, hitting Miura in the leg and his wife, Kazumi Miura, 28, in the head.

She died a year later from her wounds.

A judge is considering whether to dismiss charges against Miura.
