Yes, the ever-present mode of intrafamily violence in Japan continues it’s daily stride. Some here will debate IF it’s, in fact, “ever-increasing”?

There was a surprising ‘changeup in the pitch’ with ‘this’ story. - Not the usual ‘unemployed 32-year-old living at home murdering a parent over a weekend’. This was a brutal murder of his father by an fully-employed IT professional during a visit on a Thursday evening. Money troubles? Alcohol?

These stories are becoming so commonplace in the news here that I am just desensitized to it at this point. What awful problems did father and son have for the son to get so murderously angry that he grabbed a knife and stabbed his father not once but multiple times in the neck?

"You just don't go into someone's apartment and stab them in the neck."
Why would anyone down vote this statement?
