It seems very plausible. Most crimes in Japan have conviction rates of well over 90% for the reasons I wrote so I would be very surprised if this case was any different.

OK, this needs context. Japan has an insanely hight conviction rate in pretty much all crimes. What happens is this: police find someone who is plausibly guilty (very low threshold and lots of bias) and keep them in custody for a long time
