Two Americans arrested in Tokyo after Irish exchange student's death
(CBS/AP) TOKYO - Police say two Americans are being questioned in the death of a 21-year-old Irish exchange student's death in a Tokyo hotel.
Various media reports identified the woman as Nicola Furlong.
Police officials said on Monday that Furlong had been strangled. Japanese media reports say Furlong, her friend and the Americans met at a Nicki Minaj concert on Thursday in Tokyo.
Police arrested 23-year-old dancer James Jamari Blackston and a 19-year-old musician on suspicion of sexually molesting the victim's female friend in a taxi to the hotel. The younger suspect was not named because he is a minor under Japanese law.
