A court in Japan has sentenced a US Navy sailor to life in prison after he was convicted of robbing and killing a Japanese woman.
William Reese, 22, beat the 56-year-old woman to death near a US navy base in Yokosuka, near Tokyo, in January.
Relations between some 50,000 US troops based in Japan and the local communities are often strained.
Crimes related to the US forces in the past have caused large protests against the foreign military presence there.
However, tensions have cooled in recent years.
