A plane carrying a Chilean man accused of murdering a Japanese student in France took off from Santiago's airport bound for Paris, where he will face trial for the alleged 2016 slaying.
In this screengrab of a video released by Chilean Investigative Police shows Nicolas Zepeda prior to extradition to Paris, France where he faces charges related to the alleged 2016 slaying of his former Japanese girlfriend Narumi Kurosaki, at Augusto Merino Benitez International Airport in Santiago, Chile, Thursday, July 23, 2020. He is charged in France with premeditated murder of Kurosaki whose body was never found.
Nicolas Zepeda, 29, had been under house arrest at his mother’s apartment in the Chilean resort of Viña del Mar since the Chilean Supreme Court approved his extradition in May. He is charged in France with premeditated murder in the alleged slaying of Narumi Kurosaki, whose body was never found. Zepeda was transferred to the airport in Chile's capital Wednesday night. He was turned over to French officials and the plane to Paris took off Thursday.
Kurosaki disappeared on Dec. 5, 2016, from her apartment in France. Zepeda returned to Chile before her disappearance was investigated. Authorities allege he was the last person to be with Kurosaki before she disappeared.
