Man charged with attempted murder during convenience store robbery
KANAGAWA —
A 28-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder after a convenience store robbery in Miura, Kanagawa Prefecture, in which the store’s manager was stabbed, police said Saturday.
According to police, the suspect, identified as Hayato Suzuki, came into a Sunkus store in the early hours of Feb 10, and allegedly stole 48,000 yen from the register before stabbing the man, TBS reported.
The store’s 33-year-old manager has been in hospital in a critical condition since the incident and has not yet regained consciousness, doctors say.
Police identified Suzuki by his fingerprints on a juice carton he left on the counter. Suzuki—who is a construction worker—was quoted by investigators as saying he was running out of money to live on, TBS reported.

go apply for welfare or unemployment or something. look for another job. you are just 28. why do you have to stab a man. Now you will have a place to live. its often called the big house.

The irony is that many vagrants intentionally do this kind of crime for that purpose. Sad innit?

That does not explain why he tried to kill the clerk... Robbery is one thing, attempted murder is another.

That's cool that the prosecutors were able to charge him while he was in the midst of robbing a store. Very efficient.
