An American man has been sentenced to eight years in prison after he was found guilty of manslaughter in Japan. 27-year-old, New Yorker Yevgeniy Vasilievich Bayraktar was arrested last year in February after Saki Kondo, 27, was reported missing. According to reports, the two met on Tinder. Kondo was last seen with Bayraktar on security footage entering his vacation rental on February 15, 2018. Bayraktar, on the other hand, was caught on tape leaving the premises with several bags. He was vacationing in Japan since January on a tourist visa.

On February 16th, a day after Saki Kono went out with Yevgeniy Bayraktar, her family reported her missing. Police went through her social media and found that she had been exchanging messages with Bayraktar, reports the Japan Times. Investigators arrested Bayraktar at a new rental place in Osaka on February 22nd on suspicions of imprisonment. While searching his place they found a suitcase with Kondo’s head in it. This led to Bayraktar revealing the locations of her body. The rest of her body was found about 25 miles from Osaka. Her torso and arms were found in Shimamoto and her legs in Yamashina.

During the trial, he admitted to killing Saki Kono by strangulation, dismembering her body, and burying her body in different locations. Prosecutors chose not to indict Bayraktar for murder because they couldn’t prove he intended to kill Kono, reports the New York Post. Instead, they indicted him on manslaughter and wanted a 13-year prison sentence. Prosecutors argued he tried to hide the evidence by deleting his social media and looking up how to cut up a human body on his smartphone. However, the defense sought 5 years for the defendant because he showed remorse and assisted in the location of the victim’s body parts.

“I will be burdened with this crime until the day I die. I am so sorry,” Bayraktar told the court, reports the Tokyo Reporter.

The court decided to sentence Yevgeniy Bayraktar to 8 years in prison. Kono’s father told reporters that the sentence was “too light” reports Japan Today.
