Japan man sneaks into colleague's home 20 times, takes photos to let her ‘feel his presence'
Tokyo office worker Yuki Murai, 27, was described as quiet and reserved, with few social connections at work.

After meeting her at a company dinner, Murai began messaging her frequently, asking about her lunch, her favourite animals and other personal matters.

North Korean civilian detained after crossing mined land border ‘with help of Seoul military'
A North Korean civilian voluntarily crossed the heavily mined land border between the two countries, aided by the South's military in a delicate 20-hour operation, Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said on Friday. Tens of thousands of North Koreans have fled to South Korea since the peninsula was divided by war in the 1950s, with most going overland to neighbouring China first, then entering a third country such as Thailand before finally making it to the South. Defections across the land border that divides the peninsula are relatively rare, as the area is densely forested, heavily mined and monitored by soldiers on both sides. The North Korean man was first detected by a South Korean military surveillance device sometime between 3am and 4am local time on Thursday near a shallow stream inside the demilitarised zone (DMZ), the JCS said. The man stayed mostly still during the day and was sometimes hard to track due to the lush forest in the area, but South Korea's military approached him that night. 01:22 South Korea suspends propaganda loudspeaker broadcasts along border to North Korea South Korea suspends propaganda loudspeaker broadcasts along border to North Korea 'The military identified the individual near the MDL, conducted tracking and surveillance,' the JCS said in a statement, referring to the Military Demarcation Line, the de facto border.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has issued nine banks, capital markets services licence holders and trust companies composition penalties totalling S$27.45 million (US$21.55 million) over breaches tied to a S$3 billion (US$2.36 billion) money-laundering case that shook the city state. Advertisement MAS said on Friday the latest regulatory moves marked the end of enforcement action against financial institutions with connections to the case. All nine financial institutions have accepted the penalties for their violations arising from the largest money-laundering case ever in Singapore In August 2023, Singapore's authorities began their high-profile arrests of 10 people of Chinese origin who were found to be linked to an online gambling syndicate known as the Fujian gang. They used their ill-gotten gains to buy lavish items including high-end properties, luxury cars, jewellery and designer goods. Other individuals involved in the scheme remain at large. As of December 2024, assets amounting to around S$2.79 billion had been surrendered to the state, the home affairs ministry said earlier this year. The latest penalties by the MAS come second to S$29.1 million penalties issued against financial institutions with operations in Singapore following the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) scandal. Among them, BSI Bank faced the largest penalty at S$13.3 million and lost its bank license here for serious breaches in anti-money-laundering requirements. Advertisement In the latest set of penalties, Credit Suisse Singapore, which has been acquired by UBS, received the largest penalty of S$5.8 million.
