Police suspect that Mitsuo Usui, a company employee, stabbed his father Mitsugu, and then killed himself. Kyodo News reported that Mitsugu’s daughter, who lives elsewhere, found the two bodies when she visited the house at around 11:20 a.m. on Monday, and called 119.

And the elsewhere living daughter went there on a working day at 11:20am exactly for what reason?

And yet another "family moment" in the crime section of Japan. Can we change the category name to "Crime/Family"?

She went there to check up on her father. Is that so unusual in your family?
