Police in Fukuoka said Tuesday they have arrested a 30-year-old unemployed man on suspicion of killing his 74-year-old grandmother at their home.
Police said they received an emergency call from a woman in her 50s at around 9:45 a.m. Monday, in which she said that her mother was unconscious and bleeding from facial wounds in her bedroom at their home in Sawara Ward, Kyodo News reported.
Police and emergency personnel went to the house where they found Shizue Matsuda bleeding from several knife wounds. She was lying on her bed in the first-floor bedroom. Police said she was declared dead at the scene.
The victim’s grandson, Takuma Matsuda, who was at home, was detained for questioning and arrested on suspicion of murder late Monday.
Police said Matsuda has admitted stabbing his grandmother multiple times in the chest and face with a knife between 8 p.m. on Sunday and 9:45 a.m. Monday.
The victim’s daughter was working during that time and discovered the body when she returned home from work on Monday morning.

What’s the bet she wouldn’t give this unemployed bum any money to go and play pachinko.

I am sorry to say this but when I read the caption I knew I would read "unemployed man". I stopped right there.

If you’ve spent 15 minutes living in Japan you can already solve a crime such as this.

Please stop, stop writing «unemployed » in the first line as a nudging explanation but never ever
« doctor » or « teacher » the same way. We know literally NOTHING about the family and their relationships, please stop using unemployment as an easy way out from doing some actual journalism and explain what happened.

Obviously a bounder of the highest order. How ever angry you are how is it possible to hurt not just a woman but and elderly who is your nana?

Maybe a PSA needs to go out that if you harm or kill your breadwinner parent/grandparents, your next stop will be jail and then on the streets if you ever get out. Maybe the law can be changed so they can never get the house, too.

Nowadays, for a 30-year-old Japanese male, it would quite possibly be for money to buy credits for some online game nonsense.
