Police in Nagoya said Monday they have arrested a 52-year-old unemployed man on suspicion of killing his 76-year-old mother at their apartment on Sunday.
According to police, Takeshi Yamaguchi beat his mother Kazuko about the head and face between Dec 30 and Jan 3 at their home in Meito Ward, Sankei Shimbun reported. Kazuko was found collapsed on the floor by her daughter at around 10:40 a.m. Sunday. She had come to see if her mother was alright after she and another brother had been unable to contact her since last week.
The daughter called 110. Police and an ambulance came to the house but Kazuko was declared dead at the scene. Police said there were also stab wounds on her body.
Police said Yamaguchi, who was at home when his sister arrived, has remained silent about his mother’s death, saying nothing more than “I don’t know.”

So,so many of these cases.
I don't know whether to blame the deceased for probably spoiling her son for years and leaving him dependent on her or him for being such a loser.
I have never been to a place with so many people lacking basic social skills.

How do you define "many"? What is the rate you would expect in a country of 120 million people?

The 52-year-old man was once presumably a very cute baby for his mother now ended up killing his mother. Unbelievable! I don't know, but he must have had a good reason, though, it shouldn't be. RIP.

The common denominator in a lot of these crimes is the word ‘unemployed’

Wow to kill his mother this sick man beat his mother about the head and face between Dec 30 and Jan 3. IF I was the brother and my sick brother did that to our mom, I think I would return the favor on him, becoming sick at what he had done and do the same unthinkable to him.

If you’re not happy with mom and/ or hate her, get a job and move out. Period. Living in an apartment the size of a jail cell is still a lot better than actually being confined to a jail cell... at least you’re free to go out as you wish. Poor mom.
