Police in Yamato, Kanagawa Prefecture, have arrested a 51-year-old man on suspicion of fatally abusing his 82-year-old mother at their home.
Police said the suspect, Takayoshi Nerei, a personal trainer at a gym, has admitted to the charge and quoted him as saying he was stressed out from looking after his ailing mother, Fuji TV reported.
According to police, Nerei threw bedding on top of his mother Tomoko, covering her face, several times between 1 p.m. on Sunday and early Monday morning, at which time he called 119 and said his mother was unconscious. Tomoko was taken to hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival.

But he'll get a suspended sentence because the killer will deny intent, and the judge will "understand".

OMG! How could anyone can do this such things to their parents? I thought only drugs user can do this. If I could back the years that my mom alive Ill taking care her and give all she wanted to make her happy till her last breathe.
Do the hustle
It’s disturbing how often this scenario repeats itself in Japan. Help is available although, it can be expensive, but that doesn’t excuse anybody from killing their ailing mother.

Exactly! That why it is just downright insulting to my ears when people say "Japan has low/no crime," There are clearly massive (albeit, inconvenient) problems that are not being addressed. Social problems put both the mother and the son in this horrific situation.

and breast fed him he kills cause he stressed out from caring for her... Hey you Bozo I'm sure she was stressed out from caring for you when you were a little child, Maybe she should have just killed you.
