A taxi driver was found stabbed to death in Mihara, Hiroshima 
Prefecture, early Sunday, police said.

Tsuyoshi Fujita was found at about 5:15 a.m. lying in a pool of 
blood in a vacant lot in an industrial complex about eight 
kilometers from Hiroshima Airport by a newspaper delivery man, 
who contacted the police.

Fujita, 52, had been stabbed in the chest several times, the 
police said.

Fujita's taxi was found abandoned on a road about a kilometer 
from his body.

The company for which Fujita worked said he radioed at about 
1:50 a.m. to say he had picked up a man and was heading for 
the Nutanishicho district of Mihara, where his body was found.

As Fujita had not returned by 2:30 a.m., the scheduled end of his 
shift, the company located his car with the Global Positioning 
System, and his coworkers set out to look for him.
