Police said Monday they have arrested a 40-year-old woman for allegedly strangling her one-year-old daughter at their home in Iiyama, Nagano Prefecture.
The woman, who has been named as Ikue Inose, called police at around 3 .p.m. on Sunday and said that she had strangled her baby, NTV reported. Police rushed to the scene and took the child to hospital where doctors said she was suffering from organ failure.
According to police, Inose lived in the apartment with her daughter and husband, who was out at the time of the incident. An investigation is underway to ascertain the circumstances leading up to the crime.
Police said Inose is to be charged with attempted murder, but that she has so far given no motive for the crime, NTV reported.

According to an "on-going" article, she was already too old to have a one year young baby...

Geez, no need to write next week's "child abuse" article, just change the date on this one! It's not like anybody is trying to stop these people or anything.

Forget about the government encouraging couples to have more children, how about asking telling them to stop killing their kids first.

Again!?

Sigh... the mother-of-the-year news of the week is in. I wish mother's like this would simply just not have kids if they are going to try and kill them. Poor kid. Worse yet is that this woman will likely face very minimal charges, if any, and the kid will be back in her waiting arms in no time.

As we are getting tired of reading this kind of news over and over again, the comments here are somewhat getting softer...
I dear hope the child lives!

I bet she'll give the standard motive: the baby wouldn't start crying, so I tried to make her stop.

I'm sure you didn't mean "start".
The cruelty of this woman goes beyond the pale. Had she completed the task it would have been more merciful for the child. Now the child must struggle to survive with organ failure(s) - almost certainly including brain damage due to oxygen starvation. An evil woman if there ever was one.

I do not even want to read this kind of article anymore but I do hope this crazy mother burns in hell! I feel so sorry for the poor innocent little baby.

Retard......she should be punished - strangle her everyday for a year and if she dosent repent damage one of her organs.

Baby was probably crying and this mother realized if she pressed her throat hard enough the child will be quiet, if she holds for a minute child will "fall a sleep" and then she will have enough time to talk with her friends on her precious keitai...what happened to natural mother instincts of love and protection

Can we get an update on the baby at a later date?
