“I asked if you wanted to be my friend. And you said yes. You said yes. It was the best thing I’ve ever done.”

At Cambridge University, they were sick of checking the coffee pot level, so Quentin Stafford-Frasier wrote client software for a greyscale 128x128 camera hooked up to an acorn archemedes computer.  Paul Jardetzky wrote the server program.

On or around March 20th, 1996, Asae Koike (pictured) allegedly used a knife to fatally slash the head of her husband, 59-year-old Takashi, at their residence at the time in the Ushikuboekidori area (Japan). The remains have been found this week (February 1st, 2018), over two decades after the murder. 

Koike had stuffed the corpse into an air tight plastic bag, which was then placed inside a clothing case. The bag concealed most of the smell, and Koike regularly moved the location of the case around her home. 

In the area, it’s common for a person from the Toyokawa City to present a cash gift to residents on their 77th or 88th birthday. When the office person arrived to present one to Takashi, the son of Takashi and Asae said that “my father does not live here”. This is what sparked the investigation as to his whereabouts.
