Our semi-weekly dose of murder in the family. I wonder if they argued about him not having a job and living on his mother's dime? Well, now he'll be living off the taxpayers' dime. Still a deadbeat.

If you guys stop reading the crime news every day then you would understand that Japan is a very safe country. Do you understand?

Yes, it is. Spare us the knee-jerk comments each time a crime is reported.
