Here are some of the reasons this lady may have done it first shay no longer had the finances or family support to keep him in the facility he was in. I have heard the public nursing homes are worse than prison true or not true I can only go based on hearsay story of a friend's relative who was in one doesn't sound attractive at all.

My heart goes out to the deceased and his elderly wife who I am sure felt in her mind was the last resort. The Japanese Government needs to do more to help the elderly and not bleed them dry as they get older such as raising their health care benefits to over 40 thousand yen a month.

My heart breaks for the country that once was known as Burma, however, no assistance should be given because it will not go to the people in need it will only go into the hands of the junta and their families.

Those British Diplomats are probably relieved to be leaving and not looking back either.

sicko.........lock him up and toss the way the key

This is a stark warning for the world if drastic changes are not made and made soon.

My child has 3 nationalities due to parents' countries of birth and where my child was born. This is a blessing, giving my child a leg up in the world when they are out on their own. Children born in other countries do not give parents an anchor until they come of age which can be different depending on the origin of country they are born in, and Japan should do the same. Where these parents stay refugees, and that they can become permanent residents upon their daughter coming of age, she sponsors them and be held responsible for them while they remain in Japan.

I can guarantee this was not the first case of domestic violence against his wife and I am sure he has been doing it for years and she has endured.

Wishing the wife a speedy recovery and prayers this man sees the inside of a jail for a very long time.

Indonesia was smart to choose Japan's rail system which is the very best and will last over Chinese made as they take short cuts whenever it suits them, and which are famous for not taking those cuts.

When Biden stepped down there should have been a selection of names put in for the Democrat leader and voted on. I am not a Harris fan and or the man she selected for a running mate; however, I cannot stand Trump and or his pick even more.

I think Harris is a phony as they come with her fake smile, but I do believe she will do a way better job than Trump and his side kick will ever do. I am sure if she gets elected, she would be a one term president if the Republicans can pull their act together, cleaning house and getting rid of the likes of Marjorie Greene, Cruz and other such unethical individuals.

It is a shame that Kelly, an astronaut did not get to run for the next president of the United States. He is a man of honor, a work ethic that is next to none and honest.

I am waiting for him to say he does not remember stabbing her.

Only yesterday, I read where a man got only 3-year suspended sentence for putting his girlfriend's 3-year-old daughter into the washer machine. I have to agree with YeahRight.

To many of these unemployed child adults who are killing and or maiming their parents and or elderly relatives. This man should be told if he doesn't remember he will face the death penalty and let's see how fast he recalls details.

Unfortunately, you can never be sure if these individuals are really trying to escape China's repressed regime and or are working for the regime.

Moderator: Thanks for your contribution! Your comment has been featured in the latest episode of Japan This Week. Tune in to hear it!

23 years old and a university student, he clearly came from a family who cared enough to get him through school and get him into higher education what is wrong with his head.

I can understand the anger and the frustration this man did not receive a harsher sentence.

With that said, the mother may have received quite a substantial sum and so she could start her life over with her daughter and if she is making only minimal wage would needed those funds. Life is really a struggle for any single person in Japan who is making minimal wages, and so, without knowing all the facts I will refrain from judging the mother.

The man is scum and most likely he will repeat his actions that is the sad part.

My now ex-husband when we were separated did the same thing to me calling all hours of the night and not speaking to me.

The comment that this young man was given everything and did not have to work for it. This is not the British Royal Family; the Japanese Royal Children must study and study harder and learn etiquette rules simultaneously that are very strict. The Japanese Royal children have very little freedom and have high expatiations placed on them, without the freedom of expressing themselves and must obey the orders of others outside the family.

Yes, I am sure the 17-year-old was well aware she was going to die; however, I am absolutely in her darkest hours did she think her jump would kill another person.

There is a lot of corruption in the Japanese government and all these officials get is a slap on the wrist. Why? The double standard the police show for the regular people and the wealthy is very sad.

Everyone the girl was 17, a teenager, teens generally do not think about consequences until after the fact. What caused this young person to take her life is the bigger question and should be the bigger story?

The last time I had relations was with my ex-fiancé and that was 16 years ago. I have no desire to be with another man after finding out I was pregnant, and I chose to keep our son and have been raising him on my own after this individual refused to recognize his own child because I did not want to marry his selfish behind.

I think she is overrated, however, in the same breath it appears unlike other millionaires and billionaires she actually parts with her money to help people in dire circumstances and or in this case the food bank in this case makes her refreshing.

Without a medical assessment it is hard to judge this individual with this advanced age. Second, yes, I agree, it would be great for the girl to physically defend herself, however, if she did and the man had dementia, he could be physically dangerous. What I mean is, people with dementia are physically strong and lash out many times and not even realize their own strength.

My friend said that Canada's Costco is selling Hokkaido rice 10 kilo for 35 dollars, and this was just as recently as last week. So why is Japan having difficulties and Canada is not finding Japanese rice.

Tit for tat, arrest a visiting business Chinese individual and see what happens. All businesses should pull out of China's factories and not on a slow scale as it is happening now, faster. Japan needs to block Chinese who are not living in Japan from buying investment property in Japan, and any Chinese owners not living in Japan be forced to sell their properties and scaling down all ties with China.

I believe genes and or the luck of the draw allowing someone to live into the ripe old age of 100 or more. There was a gentleman Richard Overalton, not sure on the spelling, he lived passed 108, he smoked cigars and had a drink or 2 of alcohol daily and drove his lifestyle was not the healthiest and yet his mind and soul were.

Congratulations, to this lady and all her successes to date.

I grew up watching him, he was a man with integrity and less about sensationalism unlike in today's world Oprah and others like her.

RIP, Mr. Donahue.

I love many parts about Japanese culture; however, this is one that my stomach could never get down it.

Many Japanese rentals and or condos do not allow pets, and from my understanding this was sort of a pet for Japanese children where they pick them up almost daily and have to feed them. Well, it was not a pet my child was permitted to have in our home not for all the tea in China.

Gene, I feel the same way you do about China. The Chinese people are lovely, however, the government a whole another story. Mongolia I would love to visit and would consider it if it was safe.

Price fixing is a worldwide issue, full stop. Someone did not pay a bribe over there and the result be thrown in prison and send out a message to this company and other foreign countries operating in this Stalin country.
