Police said they received a call at around 4:30 a.m. Friday from a man who said that he and his mother had been stabbed. Fuji TV reported. Police went to the home of Hideyuki Takeda and his mother and found them bleeding from knife wounds to the neck and stomach.
The suspect, Yoshinobu Suzuki, was still at the scene and a bloodied knife was found. The two victims were taken to hospital where the son was pronounced dead.

May the son's soul rest in peace. And hope the brave mother will get back on her feet ASAP, physically and mentally as well.
