Police in Tokyo on Saturday arrested a 44-year-old woman on suspicion of killing her 49-year-old husband by stabbing him with a fruit knife.
According to police, Akane Seki stabbed her husband Izumi at around 2 a.m. Saturday in the first-floor living room of their home in Itabashi Ward, and then called 110. Izumi was taken to hospital with stab wounds to his chest. He was pronounced dead shortly after arrival at the hospital.
Police said Seki has admitted to stabbing her husband but denied intent to kill. She was quoted as saying she lost her temper after they argued over the bookbinding business they ran together.

Sounds like things came apart at the seams.

Drum roll and high hat!!!

I doubt that an argument about a book binding business motivated her. There were probably much deeper and long lasting issues between them.
Either way, it's a terrible thing to do to another human being, especially the one whom you ought to love more than anyone.
This world needs a massive infusion of love.

A lot of these knifings happen late at night or early morning, isn't the golden rule never go to bed angry.

This was bound to happen.

Who knew bookbinding is such a high stress job.

Kochikame, that's what it sounds like. 2 AM, him in a defenseless position... it looks like she stabbed him in his sleep, which is one of the most despicable ways to kill someone imaginable.

Actual proof that 2am and fruit knives are not compatible. Seems this relationship was "bound" by underlying issues.

If she stabbed him on his chest, he could see her attacking him...I wonder if he couldn't defend himself.

Never take a knife while angry.
Love should be all.

I wonder if they kept in there store any books on "anger management"?

when she gets sentenced, I wonder if she will "ap peal her conviction"?

No intent to kill? The murdering sow needs to be locked up until dead. She’s in big trouble now
