Police have arrested a Japanese man who ran a suicide website on the Internet for killing a woman who paid him to do it. She contacted him through the website, and paid him $1,700 (U.S) to kill her. She was given sleeping pills and suffocated.

Her body was found April 16 in a city south of Tokyo. Police found a suicide note, but her car keys and cell phone came up missing. The man, Kanuzari Saito, has been charged with violating narcotic and psychotropic drug control laws.
