Police in Tokyo have arrested a 77-year-old man on suspicion of killing his wife, who was in her 70s, by running over her with his car.
According to police, the victim was found collapsed in a parking lot in Edogawa Ward by a passerby at around 5 a.m. on Friday, Jiji Press reported. She was taken to hospital where she died about an hour later.
Police said her husband, Norio Nakamura, has admitted to the allegation and quoted him as saying, “We had a lovers' quarrel and she accused me of cheating on her.”
Police said Nakamura told them that after the quarrel, he drove to a parking lot near his home to calm down. His wife followed him and when he started his car to leave, she stood in front of it.
“I was still angry and upset after the fight, so I ran over her,” Nakamura was quoted as saying.
After an analysis of surveillance camera footage, police located Nakamura’s car in in Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture, at around 1 p.m. Friday, and he was detained.

Nothing like running over your wife and killing her to prove you DIDN'T cheat on her.
Great job there, Norio.
Happy New Year.

He didn't need a license to kill his wife just a mean and bad husband who would rot in prison.

Did the police find him at his girlfriend’s house?

Oh no! Another geriátric psychopathic mental case killing at family member. How can anyone do such a thing even if ruddy cross?

Seems like she was provoking him all the way.
Some women just can't let it go and feel a need to keep pushing a man........until he snaps. This one paid for it with her life.

Take the high road, man. Absolutely no pun intended there. She shouldn't have stood in front of the car but he definitely should not have hit her with the vehicle. The guy had no real love for her so he ran her over and deserves a good amount of years in the slammer.
