Police in Nagoya said Thursday they have arrested a 61-year-old man on suspicion of killing his 62-year-old wife at their apartment.
On Wednesday night, a male acquaintance of the couple who hadn’t heard from them in a few days visited the apartment in Tempaku Ward, Fuji TV reported. The lights were on and the door and windows were locked, but there was no response from anyone inside. He looked through the balcony window and saw the victim lying on the floor near the front door. He then called 110.
