Police in Yuki, Ibaraki Prefecture, said Thursday they have arrested an unemployed 44-year-old man on suspicion of killing his 75-year-old mother at their residence.
According to police, they received a call from Yoichi Fujinuki at around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, in which he said he had killed his mother Kazuko about three hours earlier, Sankei Shimbun reported. Police rushed to the scene and found Kazuko lying in the Japanese-style room on the first floor of the house. She was taken to hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Fujiunuki, who lived with his mother and 46-year-old sister, was quoted by police as saying, “I struck her forehead, strangled her, and then stabbed her with a pair of scissors.” But he gave no motive for his actions.
His sister was out at the time of the murder.

A middle-aged man who was unemployed and single living with his mother; a problem was waiting to happen if not deadly. RIP.

How could you raise your hand against your own mother, let alone kill her?

Pathetic man-child. Most "men" in Japan are stuck in a perpetual state of childhood. If you're a male over 20 and still living at home, you need a strong kick in the ass.
