A Yokohama court has sentenced two men to jail over their roles in a high-profile case involving the killing of a 46-year-old man whose body was found in a suitcase dumped in the Tama River. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/07/11/japan/crime-legal/suitcase-murder-case-ruling/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #crimelegal #japanesepolice #tamariver #tokyo #suitcases

My two preferred #suitcases are the TravelPro FlightCrew 5 22" (non-expandable) Rollaboard, and Platinum Elite Carry-On Regional Rollaboard (which fits the underseat space). This is the max amount of #luggage most US domestic #airlines will permit a passenger to bring as cabin #baggage, so this is how much cargo capacity any vehicle should have as a bare minimum, per passenger, so that one can reach another mode of #transit or #transport.

I’ve grown to really dislike clamshell #suitcases. But few hardshell #luggage makers do anything else!

The traditional flip open top takes up much less room when rummaging around and is easier to push shut.

Greetings readers!

I’ve got some news for you, and it’s a sombre update on the search for Jay Slater. The web sleuths and conspiracy theorists, it turns out, were barking up the wrong tree. Sadly, Jay’s body has been discovered. It appears he simply slipped, fell down a ravine, and due to the isolated location, remained undiscovered for weeks. This eerily echoes the case of Michael Mosely in Greece.

However, this incident raises questions about the initial reports from the Spanish police, who implied Jay was still alive and had evidence to support this. It’s a reminder that organisations need to be mindful of their communications, as even the smallest snippet of information can fuel wild theories online.

Speaking of wild theories, it seems the web sleuths were starting to tire of the Jay Slater mystery, with their conjectures becoming increasingly far-fetched. But fear not, they’ve now latched onto a new case that reads like a thriller novel.

Enter Yostin Andres Mosquera. If you haven’t heard, Yostin is a 34-year-old Colombian who recently embarked on a curious journey from London to Bristol by train, followed by a taxi ride to the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Nothing unusual, right? Perhaps he was just sightseeing?

Well, here’s where it takes a dark turn. Upon arrival at the bridge, Yostin was spotted attempting to throw two suitcases over the side. This bridge, notorious for past incidents, is equipped with cameras and high fences. When challenged by staff, Yostin bolted, pursued by a cyclist. The staff inspected the suitcases and made a grisly discovery – body parts!

Naturally, whispers of the Colombian Cartel began swirling, especially after Yostin muttered to the cyclist, “my boss is a bad man.” But the whole affair seems amateurish, doesn’t it? Taking public transport with suitcases of body parts, then trying to dispose of them in such a public place?

The police investigation led to a flat in Shepherd’s Bush, London, where more body parts were found. The victims have been identified as Albert Alfonso, 62, and Paul Longworth, 71 – once a couple, still cohabiting. Yostin, in an equally amateur move, was apprehended while trying to return to London via Bristol’s main train station.

Online chatter is buzzing. Albert’s Flickr account features many photos of Yostin over the years. Yostin moved over from Columbia and lived with Albert and Paul, leading some to speculate about a love triangle. Others draw parallels to stories of elderly individuals returning from places like Egypt with young spouses who vanish after securing a visa. Some suggest Yostin was sent by ‘bosses’ to extort money before disposing of Albert and Paul. However, given their modest circumstances, they seem unlikely targets for such a scheme.

It’s still too early to determine what exactly transpired in that flat and why. The nature of Yostin’s stay in the UK and the events leading up to this tragedy remain a mystery. Yet, it certainly provides rich material for my sequel to “Rabbit Fever”!

What do you think, readers? Have you heard about this story, and what are your thoughts on what really happened? Let’s discuss!

My travels over the holidays took me to visit family in Edmonton Alberta and Monterey California. In doing so, I took a total of seven airline flights and I watched a lot of people wrestling with luggage.

Now that airlines charge about $35 (give or take) for a standard-sized checked suitcase, more people choose to use a smaller bag and put it in an overhead bin in the cabin. Some people try to push their luck and bring a bigger bag on board, but the gate agents make it very clear that those will not fit. I watched as an agent was quite snarky with one passenger and said words to the effect of, “You knew that was too big before you got here!”

What bugs me about this whole process is that I am too short to put a bag in an overhead bin. On a good day I am 5′ 2″ and getting shorter, and I cannot reach to put a 25 lb bag in a small space above my head. I should add that I am also 74, and weightlifting has never been among my skill set. So, I consider the fee for checked baggage to be a tax on short old people. It feels discriminatory, but I can live with it, up to a point.

The point at which I feel cheated is when I get to the gate and people are encouraged to check their bags at the point of boarding, for free! Every single time, there are more bags than bin space, and every single time people happily agree to stow their luggage in the same airplane belly as my bag. I paid $35 for my piece of that belly, but they paid nothing. Now the fee has become a tax on short old people who plan ahead.

Once, on a previous trip, I did try to bring my small-ish bag on board but could not lift it into the overhead bin. At the time, there were no big burly men around to help me, and the flight attendants were staying well clear of boarding passengers, so I asked a woman who was my seat neighbour to lend a hand. She was not pleased. Even though she seemed capable enough, she clearly resented being asked. When it was time to leave the plane, she made a point of scooting up the aisle ahead of me so that she wouldn’t be asked to help get the bag down. That was the one and only time I tried bringing a bag on board.

On one of my flights this trip I watched a woman struggle with the same dilemma, but her outcome was even worse than mine. She seemed to be about 5’0″ and of retirement age, and she was trying to lift quite a large bag into the overhead bin. At the point where she tried to tip the bottom of the bag up and over the lip of the bin she lost control of the balance and the bag fell.

At the same time a mother with two children was finding their seats. She was holding a small child while a little girl about five years old went ahead of her. Just at the moment when the girl came alongside my seat, the older woman’s bag tipped over and landed on the girl’s head before it hit the floor. There was immediate uproar.

The little girl was crying loudly and her mother was furiously yelling at the older woman. I and my seat neighbours were all in shock and unable to move anywhere to help. Meanwhile the line of people boarding was stopped and flight attendants tried to find their way through the crowds from opposite ends of the plane to attend to the problem.

Making a bad situation even worse, the embarrassed older woman smiled as she apologized to the mother and child. It may have been a nervous response or a cultural difference but that smile was not received well.

Ultimately, one flight attendant and another passenger helped the woman put her bag into the bin, and the other flight attendant brought a bag of ice for the little girl to put on her head. I don’t know what happened to her after that, but I didn’t hear any crying.

Having watched all that drama happen right next to me has made me rethink my grumpiness about paying to stow my bag. Thirty-five dollars now seems like a small price to pay for ease, comfort, and passenger harmony. I will never again try to put my carry-on into an overhead bin.
