A man in his 60s was found dead on a crossing in Tokyo’s Ota Ward on Saturday night after he called 110 and told police he had killed his mother.
According to police, the call came in at around 7:30 p.m., Fuji TV reported. The caller said he had strangled his mother, who is in her 90s, and that he was going to kill himself by jumping in front of a train on a crossing.
