Man arrested for killing live-in partner in Aomori

I bet she told the lazy slug to get a job or get out.

Police... have arrested an unemployed 47-year-old man on suspicion of killing the 53-year-old woman with whom he lived

At least the article did not refer to her as his GIRLFRIEND. He obviously did not LOVE, her or even LIKE her. He HATED her and wanted her dead.

RIP Makiko-sama!! :-(

It seems he got what he wanted, somebody to take care of him his whole life.

Police found Kitagawa at a public bathing facility just before 1 p.m

So that NAKED STRANGER in the "public bathing facility" who you don't know has literally just committed a BRUTAL MURDER. And now he's NAKED with YOUR FAMILY.

Welcome to Japan!!

Another unemployed loser sponging off a woman commits murder. Repeat article, change names, dates and places.

I think you mean welcome to the planet. This could happen in any country that has public nude bathing.

"A resident of the apartment where the suspect and victim reside say they heard a heated argument between the two around the approximate time the murder was committed and called 119."

What neighbors did not try to intervene and break it up, in such a close knit culture? .... officers probably arrived too late.

Very little is known about the case. We shouldnt rush to hasty judgement until all the facts are in.

I didn't even bother to read past the first paragraph, but will nonetheless reiterate what has already been said. At 47 w/out any form of income. Thinking about the animal kingdom, only lions get away w/ the male doing jack and having an entitlement attitude.Speaks volumes.

A guy stabbed a woman twice and strangled her to death. While a neighbor called the cops, he went for a bath. That's all we need to know.

We shouldn't rush to hasty judgement

Because the guy may have had a perfectly good reason for stabbing, then strangling her to death.

Yeah, like perhaps she tried to kill him the day before but didn't succeed?
