These familial killings are so regular in Japan now to the point that it's almost becoming a cultural trait.

a 51-year-old unemployed man living with his parents - that about sums it up. Maybe with the rise of such incidents, Japan will finally wake up and realize that prolonged living with your family is just not a great idea mentally and emotionally. And physically since family members seem to be getting all murder-y.
