A 39-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after he stabbed a former colleague with a knife at a factory in Funabashi, Chiba Prefecture, on Thursday.
According to police, Shusaku Aze, a Funabashi resident and former employee of the factory, allegedly stabbed Kazuki Ebine, 44, in the chest at around 3 p.m. on Thursday, Fuji TV reported. Ebine was taken to a hospital where he died about 2 1/2 hours later.
Police said Aze has admitted to the charge and quoted him as saying he brought the kitchen knife to kill Ebine. However, police said he later told them he just wanted to talk to Ebine.

Just wanted to TALK; that’s why he brought a KNIFE.

Ah the old j-cliche; may have been drunk and may not remember, or maybe instantaneously snapped or maybe wanted to know what it felt like to do that.
