A 20-year-old Indonesian woman was stabbed to death in her flat in Hamamatsu, central Japan, police said on Monday as they investigate whether a man who was fatally hit by a train nearby was involved in the case.

The woman, identified as Keiko Altaira Hanafi, was found stabbed and in a critical condition by a police officer at around 11.40am in the flat where she lived with her parents. She was later confirmed dead at a hospital.

According to the police, a neighbour made an emergency call after hearing a woman scream next door. They also reported that a man in a black outfit had left the flat.

Shortly afterwards, a man was hit and killed by a train on the JR Tokaido Line. The driver of the train witnessed a person wearing black clothes jumping a fence and entering the tracks.

The stabbing occurred in a residential area about 500 metres (1,600 feet) west of JR Maisaka Station in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture.

A witness in his 70s said he saw a trail of blood from the doorstep to a car park outside.
