OKINAWA, Japan, June 30 (UPI) -- A U.S. military contractor and former Marine was charged Thursday in the rape and stabbing death of a 20-year-old Okinawa woman in a case that has fanned anti-American sentiment on the southern Japanese island.
Kenneth Shinzato, 32, a former U.S. Marine employed at Kaden Air Base, is accused of raping and stabbing office worker Rina Shimabukuro. He was charged last month with dumping her body.
