5 Comments

Police in Tokyo have arrested a 20-year-old man on suspicion of killing his mother at their home in Gosen, Niigata Prefecture.

According to police, the suspect, Kaito Oyanagi, a part-time worker at a food manufacturing company, was arrested Saturday morning after being found in a private viewing room at a video store in Katsushika Ward late Friday, Sankei Shimbun reported.

Police said Oyanagi has admitted to killing his 52-year-old mother Noriko, a company employee, whose body was found in the bathtub of her home last Thursday. Police found the body after being notified by her company that she had not come to work on Tuesday and Wednesday. Police said Oyanagi was naked and lying face down in the bathtub and that she had been beaten about the head several times with a blunt instrument.

Her son was quoted by police as saying that after he killed his mother on the night of Feb 6, he took her car and drove to Tokyo. He has not yet provided a motive for killing his mother, police said.

And so many posters thumbs-downed me, but I was right. The b@stard beat his own mother to death, and went to watch porn. Sick f@ck.

If that was a joke, then it was a bad one. Always strange to see so many "goodbad" reactions and not a single point behind them. As if these are done by bots which is true for the political threads, but here... Before I can make my judgement, I would like to ask the forum staff to keep updating such news with new information when it becomes available. Without the motive it is not complete.

I'm at a loss for words. Whatever was the situation, your MOTHER never deserves that kind of treatment.

The story does not say anything about her husband, so I assume here is a lady who may have sacrificed so many things in her life to raise this cute little buoy, who would one day grow enough to not only murder her, but also leave her naked to be watched by the people who find her rotting days after she was brutally murdered. Humanity is dying!
