Russian youngster goes missing in Tokyo

A little girl from Russia went missing in the Tokyo district Shibuya on Sunday, mother of the child Yulia Panchenko told Itar-Tass. In the words of the woman, who lives permanently in Japan, a seven-year-old Alisa went to the children’s playground at about 15:00 local time (10:00 Moscow time), after that she went missing. Meanwhile, no neighbours, who were staying in the street at that moment of time, saw her. “She could not go out without any reasons,” the mother of the child said, not ruling out a possible kidnapping. The local police, for which Russian compatriots are helping, are searching for the girl. The consular department of the Russian Embassy in the Japanese capital is informed about the incident.
