Police said Thursday they have arrested a 37-year-old man in Odawara, Kanagawa Prefecture, on suspicion of robbing and murdering his father.
According to police, Hidekazu Kamekawa who is unemployed and of no fixed abode, entered his father's apartment on Wednesday morning. TBS reported that he is suspected of murdering his 72-year-old father by beating his head with a blunt object, and then stealing a wallet containing 50,000 yen.
Police say Kamekawa confessed to both charges during questioning.

I vote this guy the biggest loser of the year so far (and if you read JT regularly there are quite a few of them). Killing his father and robbing 50.000 this has got to be a new low!!!

Obviously didn't love his father, only loved himself. So common.

Now, did he murder him for A reason and then rob him after the fact, or was it all for a measly $500?
