Police in Niiza, Saitama Prefecture, have arrested a 24-year-old unemployed man on suspicion of fatally assaulting his mother at her home.
According to police, Haruki Takabayashi is accused of pushing his mother to the ground and punching and kicking her on Saturday and Sunday, TV Asahi reported.
An employee at the mother's workplace called 110 on Sunday, saying, "She hasn't come to work since yesterday, and we can't get in touch with her."
Police officers went to her home and found the mother in the bathroom on the first floor. She was confirmed dead.
Police said Takabayashi has admitted beating his mother but has so far given no motive.

Pure evil. After beating her to death, left her there on the floor and didn't even call the cops or an ambulance.

Far too much pure evil, given the number of similar stories we’ve been reading recently
