Marine Charged Over Okinawa Killing

NahaProsecutors charged a US Marine with murdering Anna Yagi, 39.

Japan’s leaders condemned the killing, and US troops in Okinawa now face a curfew and alcohol ban.

Prosecutors allege Lance Corporal Devin Jacob Ballard strangled her with a telephone cord in a Naha hotel and stole her backpack.

Ballard, who denies the charges, awaits trial, and no date has been reported.
