Police in Osaka have arrested a 64-year-old woman on suspicion of fatally stabbing her 76-year-old husband at their home on Tuesday night.
According to police, Pamela Okada, a Filipino national, called 119 at around 10:20 p.m. and said she had stabbed her husband Masaru, broadcaster NTV reported. Police went to the house in Minato Ward and found the victim unconscious on the third floor of the home.
Police said he had been stabbed in the abdomen with a 20-cm-long sashimi knife. He was taken to hospital where he died later Tuesday night.
Police said Okada has admitted to the allegation and quoted her as saying she had stabbed her husband during an argument after he asked her why dinner hadn't been cooked yet. She told police she and her husband had been quarreling for several days.

On the flip-side she won't have to worry about cooking for anyone in-side a Japanese prison!

What does her nationality have to do with the incident?

It is part of the story. What information should in your mind be allowed and which forbidden?

What's the problem with reporting it?
No problem with reporting it unless it was only reported as she was from the Philippines . Seems strange that it was reported when the news story posted here on May 7th at 5am deliberately omitted the fact the police were looking for two Brazilians. This ladies nationality added nothing to the story/article.

Just couldn't put up with him any longer. Retirement and being together all day, every day must be just too much to bear for certain people.

Au contraire! News is news; it has no agenda, despite what you seem to imply.

Marrying that extra young wife who is usually healthier and more lively is not that great of an idea when you both get older, and she hates your guts.

The most worrying aspect is that she must have felt comfortable with herself to escalate the violence to such an insane level of actually inserting a knife into another human-being, knowing that the consequences would be catastrophic, indeed fatal.
This shows one thing - life inside jail must mean the rest of her life, nothing less.

@Gazman To highlight who did it and sell the news to Japanese citizens.
