Police in Osaka said Sunday they have arrested an unemployed 42-year-old man on suspicion of killing his 31-year-old girlfriend at his apartment.
According to police, a man called 110 at around 8:30 p.m. Saturday and said, “I strangled my girlfriend to death.” He gave the address of his apartment in Miyakojima Ward and asked them to come over, Fuji TV reported.

Let me guess... "heated argument" ?
Goodlucktoyou
why kill someone, feel guilty, and then call the police? slash your wrists or take sleeping pills and call and ambulance if you are desperate and need attention, but don't go to this step. it effects not just the victim, but family and friends as well.
what a mess up loser. no job, now prison. just reach out, find a job and look to a brighter future.
