The 42-year-old female victim escaped the house in the city of Koga, rushed to a nearby shop and held up a piece of paper that read "please help me", Makoto Hiyama, a senior local police official, said.

Why did she use a piece of paper, though? Why not simply go 'hnnrgh' through sewn lips, and credit the people in the shop with enough intelligence to figure out her lips were sewn shut, and that there was the slight possibility she might need help?

Perhaps to be sure they wouldn't think it was a prank?
