14 Comments

Police in Osaka have arrested a 30-year-old unemployed man on suspicion of killing his 66-year-old father at their home on Sunday.

Police said Yuki Kuramo is accused of knocking his father down, kicking him, then sitting on top of him, and punching his head with his bare hands, at around 10:15 a.m., Kyodo News reported.  

After the assault, Kuramo called 110 and told police “I got into a fight with my father, and he’s unconscious.” His father, Kanando, was rushed to a hospital but died at around 4:30 p.m.

Kuramo, who was arrested at the scene, was quoted by police as saying he lost his temper after having an argument with his father.

Kurano lives in the house with his 36-year-old brother, 60-year-old mother and his father. At the time of the incident, Kuramo’s mother had left home for work, and his older brother was taking a bath.

Mine too. My brother could stay if he had a job and paid rent.

@MumbaiRocks,

Same here.

Once I became an adult it was time to either pay my own way or hit the highway.

Live in a condo in Tokyo and a neighbouring family still have 2 40-ish sons still living with them.

I think the pair of them work,but often see their mother straining to get the groceries up to her 4th floor place,no elevator here and no help from her kids.

The hubby has hit pre-retirement,that time between being fired from his job and being able to pick up his pension.He is out at the crack of dawn even in this bitter weather.

The eldest son is obviously working remotely since I can hear his smokers' cough as he regularly puffs away outside his front door.

I think Japanese parents mollycoddle their kids way too much.

“His older brother was taking a bath at 10:30 am”

There’s no law against taking a bath at 10:30 am.

Gees! The family murders are becoming an almost daily thing. There is something wrong with the family unit in the land of sushi and cherry blossoms.

I have a suggestion, parent over 65 should kick all parasites out of the house and GO IT ALONE, it better to die with dignity than getting killed by the one you love.

What a ghastly thing to do to his own father. Was he upset or is he a total mentalist? Only time will tell.

Yet another one! It’s hardly surprising that they’re increasing in frequency courtesy of financial pressures without end being heaped on those already suffocating in a fog of 厭世 gloominess stretching interminably ahead. In a country that is already right up there in the danger stakes when it comes to family members reaching the end of their tether then deciding to take it out on others living under the same roof.

For a country of 125 million, those are very few and isolated incidents, I assure you that the situation in your country is much worse..

Leave the bitter drama..

Being responsible when adult is something normally coming as a lesson of lixe from parents.

This is horrifically depressing. Within one day, three news stories in a row:

"Man arrested for killing 66-year-old father after argument"

Dec. 26  04:25 pm JST  

"Man arrested over murder of 3 family members in Saitama Prefecture"

Dec. 26  11:40 am JST  

"31-year-old man arrested over murder of grandmother"

Dec. 26 06:00 am JST

To be fair, the murderer in the middle story did not murder his own family, but still horrific news, of course. This world is utterly depressing.
