A Peruvian being held in Japan over a suspected killing spree is thought to be the brother of a man dubbed “The Apostle of Death”, considered Peru’s most prolific serial murderer.

Vayron Jonathan Nakada Ludena, 30, is unconscious in a hospital with a fractured skull after plunging from the second floor of a house while being pursued by police, local Japanese media reported. Kyodo said he slashed his wrists before his fall.

Nakada Ludena is the prime suspect after six people were found stabbed to death in three homes over the space of three days in a residential neighbourhood near Tokyo, police said Thursday.

Police believe Nakada Ludena killed 41-year-old Miwako Kato and her two daughters, aged 10 and seven, on Wednesday. Their brutalized bodies were found stuffed into two closets in their home in the usually quiet suburb of Kumagaya, northeast of Tokyo.

They also fear he was responsible for the death of 84-year-old Kazuyo Shiraishi, whose body was reportedly found in a bathtub in her home around 100 meters away hours earlier.

On Monday, police found a couple in their 50s, Minoru and Misae Tasaki, stabbed to death at their house in the same neighbourhood.

Nakada Ludena is believed to have killed the people randomly after he fled from a police station where he was being questioned on Sunday, after being found in an incoherent state in a fire station, local media reported.

Police issued an arrest warrant against him on charges of trespassing after he ran into the residential neighbourhood, the Mainichi Shimbun newspaper and other media reports said.

According to sources in identity records offices in Peru, Nakada Ludena is the sibling of Pablo Nakada Ludena, who killed 25 people in Peru between 2000 and 2006.

Pablo Nakada Ludena, 42, has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and has attempted suicide. He has been held in a psychiatric prison east of the Peruvian capital Lima since 2007.

In 2011, he told television reporters from behind bars: “I am not a criminal, I’m a cleaner, I got rid of homosexuals and the homeless from society. I killed 25 people to clean the world of scum.”

Kyodo reported that Vayron Jonathan Nakada Ludena was captured on Wednesday by police as they scoured neighbourhoods looking for the killer of Shiraishi.

He was said to have been spotted in the second floor window of a house, stabbing himself in the face. When police shouted out to him to drop the knife, he climbed into the window frame, slashed both of wrists, and fell from the window. Police then entered the house and found the bodies of Kato and her daughters.

The police handling of the case has come under scrutiny after it emerged that Nakada Ludena had been in their custody on Sunday, before the killings began.

But the police lost track of him when they allowed him to go outside to have a cigarette at the Kumagaya police station.

National Police Agency chief Masahito Kanetaka on Thursday admitted to the “grave consequence” that followed as a result. But he also said it would have been difficult to make the suspect stay at the police station against his will at the time because there was no proof he was involved in crimes.

Japanese police are investigating the murders of six people at three homes in a city north of Tokyo, suspecting the possible involvement of a 30-year-old Peruvian man they have taken into custody.

Jonathan Nakada, an unemployed man with no fixed abode, sustained a skull fracture and remains in critical condition after he cut his wrists and fell from the second floor of a home in the city of Kumagaya, Saitama Prefecture, which he had apparently broken into with a knife and ended up being cornered by the police.

In the home, a mother and her two daughters, both elementary school students, were found stabbed to death. The home was near two other houses where three other people have died in the past few days.

Before the murders occurred, the Saitama prefectural police questioned Nakada on a voluntary basis on Sunday following a tip about a man mumbling at a fire station. But the police lost track of him as he ran away while the police allowed him to smoke in a smoking area at the Kumagaya police station.

Nakada suffered a fractured skull and remains in critical condition.

National Police Agency chief Masahito Kanetaka admitted the “grave consequence” that occurred over the man who the police lost track of. But he also said it was difficult to make him stay at the police station against his will at that time because there was no proof he was involved in crimes.

According to investigative sources, the same kinds of footmarks were found at the three homes and six of the victims all had stab wounds.

The Saitama prefectural police suspect that Nakada attacked the victims with a kitchen knife at each house he sneaked into. He had little money, but he did not seem to have searched the houses to look for money, the sources said.

Nakada was taken into custody by the police at around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday after apparently breaking into a home with a knife, where Miwako Kato, 41, and her daughters Misaki, 10, and Haruka, 7, were stabbed to death, the police said. Their bodies were found in closets. About an hour earlier, the police found the body of Kazuyo Shiraishi, an 84-year-old woman, wrapped in a cloth in the bathroom at a home around 100 meters away.

Earlier Monday, the police also found a couple - 55-year-old Minoru Tasaki and his 53-year-old wife Misae - stabbed to death around 1.5 kilometers away in the same city. Both had deep stab wounds and cuts in their upper bodies.

Nakada arrived in Japan 10 years ago and had moved around in the Kanto region covering Tokyo and its neighboring prefectures such as Saitama, according to the police.

The investigative sources said the police confirmed a break-in by a foreigner at another home while investigating the Tasakis’ case and had obtained an arrest warrant for Nakada on Tuesday for allegedly trespassing into a home.

On Wednesday, the police were notified by a relative that Shiraishi could not be found. The police visited the woman’s home and found her body in a bathtub. Subsequently, while visiting a home nearby, the police spotted a man with a knife poking his face from a window on the second floor at the Katos’ home.

When the police asked the man to drop the knife, he sat on a window frame, inflicted cuts to both of his wrists, released the knife and fell from the window, according to the police.
