I also heard that murder statistics are recorded differently in Japan. If a husband murders his wife and 2 kids and then kills himself, that's recorded as 4 suicides. I haven't been able to find a source on it, but if true, it's going to skew some results.

I've heard that too and similar things, but I've never seen any proof on it. When the Japanese news reports on something like that they will report it as a murder and suicide. But I don't know how the police then record it.
