A man stabbed his mother and then himself in an attempted murder-suicide in Yurihonjo, Akita Prefecture, on Wednesday.
According to police, the mother, who is in her 60s, staggered out of her house and collapsed on the ground at around 9:15 a.m., Sankei Shimbun reported. She was bleeding from the neck. A passerby called 110.
When police arrived, they found the woman’s son, who is in his 30s, inside the house where he had apparently stabbed himself in the chest with a kitchen knife.
Both mother and son were taken to hospital and were in a stable condition. Police said the woman told them that her son had stabbed her. Police said they will wait until the son recovers before arresting him on suspicion of attempted murder.

Another thirty-something living at home. That’s completely normal.

We all know how this started...'Put down the game controller, get off your ass, and go get a job.'
Fighto!
This is the thanks the poor mom gets for looking after a complete deadbeat for 30 plus years, cooking, cleaning, changing his diapers and all the rest. A knife to the neck.
Give the scum 50 years inside to think it over.

Oh no. Who will pay his bills, cook his dinner and wash his clothes now?

He'll get his 3 hots and a cot in the slammer and earn a bit of cash while learning new life skills. Definitely a better deal for mom at least.

Fighto,
It is probably due to his mother(or father) that he became a deadbeat.

Yeah! That or an infinite number of other possibilities.

In the finest hikikomori tradition, 30+ years old and still living at home; check. Weapon of choice, knife; check. Victim, close relative; check. Hopelessly incompetent at taking his own life; check. Congratulations young man; you’ve won yourself an all expenses paid opportunity to reflect on what you’ve done and who you’ve done it to.
