Police said Wednesday they have arrested a 49-year-old woman on suspicion of fatally stabbing a 54-year-old man in an apartment in Chofu, Tokyo.
According to police, the incident occurred at around 9:30 pm on Tuesday night. Fuji TV reported that the woman, Etsuko Arai, lived together with the victim, Shintaro Furutachi, who was her common-law husband.
Arai, who has admitted to the charge, was quoted by police as saying they got into a quarrel over purchasing and selling land which led her to stab Furutachi in the chest with a knife. She then called 119 and Furutachi was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Well she is a danger to those around her clearly, may he RIP. You don’t deserve to die from an argument.

Should land her in the slammer but you know how they like handing out suspended sentences.
