    Memorial service held for curry-poisoning victims

    WAKAYAMA, Japan - Residents in the western Japan city of Wakayama hold a memorial service on July 20 for four people killed in a curry poisoning case in the city's Sonobe district a year ago. In a park near the spot of the July 25 incident, about 40 people place flowers before a small altar and offered silent players for then local community leader Takatoshi Taninaka and three others. The four people died and the others fell ill after eating curry poisoned with arsenic which was served at a local community summer festival. Former insurance saleswoman Masumi Hayashi, 37, was arrested last October and subsequently indicted on charges of murder and attempted murder in the case.
