NHK has learned that police in Osaka, western Japan, plan to send officers to Brazil to pursue their search for a Brazilian man suspected of murdering his wife and daughter when they lived in Japan.

Investigative sources say officers could fly out as early as Saturday.
Barbosa Anderson Robson is on an international wanted list, suspected of killing his wife Aramaki Manami and their 3-year-old daughter Lily at their home in Osaka's Sakai City in August.

Investigators say the suspect returned to Brazil after the murder, but his whereabouts remains unknown.

Officials from Japan's National Police Agency will accompany the investigators to brief Brazilian authorities on the case.

There is no extradition treaty between Japan and Brazil. The Japanese officials may ask Brazil to prosecute the suspect under domestic law if he does not return to Japan.
