Man arrested over fatal abuse of wife

Unemployed and stuck at home.... is anyone surprised that thanks to the Corona policies, this sort of crime increases?

There's a special place in hell for those who abuse the weaker among them.

Go figure. These kinds of stories are usually started from "an unemployed man."

Quite many always have a strange logic. Does an unemployed have more money or pleasure making him a kinder person if the corona measures like early closed bars weren’t in place? Or does an employed violent psycho beat and kill less? Personally I don’t like all such illogically constructed correlations.

Very disturbing news… may she rest in peace

society (not just japan) needs to find ways to teach people to process/manage emotions rather than taking it out on their loved ones … this sort of stuff are not taught in school unfortunately

Without the Corona "kodo seigen" rules, many people would not be unemployed. Add the size of Japanese apartments and the restrictions on public activity, and you have social problem. Suicides are also up a lot.

Why do you think people get crazy in isolation imprisonment? This is similar.

That poor poor woman, what an awful way to be killed. Lock this POS up and throw away the key.

I hope the police and prosecutors do their job and he is convicted on evidence. It is worrying that they don’t charge him with murder for more than a month. I am guessing but the reason seems to be because they don’t have a confession as he has been silent.

“Rest in Peace” dear soul. “Condolences” to any grieving family & friends.

And, may a ‘real’ justice be served on the convicted.

It’s unmistakable the intra-family violence is consistently on the rise in Japan.

Unemployed, in japan is a disease once a person loses his/her job they feel they have no self worth. Its either they drink themselves to a stuper to kill their mate or jump off a building or into a train. All because they are unemployed!

All because they are unemployed!

Shame, and fear of shame, seems to have, historically, been the proximal cause of death of MANY Japanese. Perhaps that is what makes Nihon such a relatively safe country but puts a heavy load on an individual...

It's not just Japan. COVID and economic stress have caused a worldwide increase in domestic violence.

It is most likely that the accused had a bad childhood, was abused, or had mental issues or substance abuse problems, and was not really responsible for his actions. Hopefully he can get the help he needs to be rehabilitated and one day be a productive member of society.

More conspicuous ‘deflection’ @Kentarogaijin 6:36am now pointing at “Latin” countries, rather than truly focusing to Japan’s apparent, ‘on-topic’ domestic issue if increasing trend intra-family violence?

*-@Kentarogaijin 6:36am: Responding to: [It’s unmistakable the intra-family violence is consistently on the rise in Japan.] “Domestic violence happens everywhere, every country.. There are countries where it is really rising and Too much, much worse than Japan. Read Latin countries news, compared with them, Japan is a real paradise.” -*

Ok. Let’s make those comparisons with JAPAN. Where are Japan’s specific stats of intra-family violence? Perhaps someone’s past-due homework should be done first before demanding other reader’s research another country’s problems.

Sep 28: You still haven’t/CAN’T provide specific links to the sources of your “facts”. (Plus, You still owe stats on Sun’s “Crime” topic but continue to fail to follow through) “Avoiding the truth” about JAPAN?

*Sep. 27  9:52pm: “Good then, @Kentarogaijin Sep. 26 8:59am Show us Your specific statistics: Japan compared to the other G20 countries.” Responding to you post[@Kentarogaijin Sep. 26 8:59am: “Less feelings and more facts..”’**

This problem of intra-family violence is “at home” IN JAPAN and **NOT in the neighbors’ yard across the street.**

Absolutely ludicrous @WilliamBjornson 4:45am saying the victim’s proximate cause her own death due to “shame, or fear of shame’?? “Nihon a relatively safe country” - NOT within some households?

You get ‘the benefit of doubt’ @toolonggone 6:07am. The other 2 posters know better but perhaps really don’t want to ‘look in the mirror’ at JAPAN’s current problems with intra-family violence. Sorry, but NO where in this story does it mention COVID nor the economic stress on Japan’s populace caused by their government’s failed “on/off policies” during the pandemic.

Also, there may also be OTHER causes for the perpetrator’s “unemployment”.

Unemployed, in japan is a disease once a person loses his/her job they feel they have no self worth. Its either they drink themselves to a stuper to kill their mate or jump off a building or into a train. All because they are unemployed!

its all about employment if you lost your job it’s hard to get another in Japan and especially foreigners too. Something needs to be changed here for the better

"change here for the better"

Their rascals would popularly deny any effort thereof.
