The judge acknowledged Kumazawa had previously met his son’s doctor and delivered medication for his son’s development disorder and made efforts to build a stable father-and-son relationship.
Public prosecutors sought a prison term of eight years on Friday for a former Japanese vice agriculture minister for killing his 44-year-old son at his home in Tokyo in June, pointing to his “one-sided” attack with a “strong murderous intent.”
“The son, unemployed for 11 years, had difficulty communicating with others due to a developmental disorder. He had been violent at home since his school days.”
“A 71-year-old woman in central Japan suspected of murdering her husband has told investigators she strangled her in-laws as well, local police said Monday, pointing to the stress of being the sole caregiver in the family as a possible motive.”
“The Kyoto Animation Co. arson attack suspect has recovered enough to be able to answer questions, investigative sources said Wednesday.”
“The suspect is reported to have said, “I thought that a child with intellectual disabilities would come home,” “I can no longer control my feelings about her.””
“According to officials, the eldest son had a disability, and the defendant stated at the investigation stage that he “worried about his son’s future”.”
“The allegation of arrest was allegedly touching the body of a high school girl, aged 16 in the city at a support facility for the disabled in Kita-ku, Tokyo, around July 13.”
“The police station requested the woman voluntarily come to the station in May, and the woman visited the station with her mother. The clerk collected DNA from the woman’s mouth. The station claims that the collection was made with written consent. On the other hand, the woman said that she “did not agree” and that her mother did not approve. The station sent a document to the woman for allegedly damaging the property.”
“Investigators said the suspect admitted to stabbing the public servant but has made nonsensical remarks in regard to a motive. The police will judge whether he can be held criminally responsible.”
