Wife arrested for stabbing husband to death in Yokohama
YOKOHAMA —
Police on Tuesday arrested a 43-year-old woman for allegedly stabbing her 48-year-old husband to death with a knife at their house in Yokohama. Yoshiko Suzuki was arrested on the spot for stabbing her husband Shigeomi around 8 p.m. after their children called police. The victim was taken to hospital but died about one hour later.
Yoshiko told police that they had been arguing about their marriage and that she was drunk at the time.

Instead of pushing each other to breaking point, people should recognize the warning signs and get out while they can. A divorce is hardly the end of the world and its a chance to start over, having learned from past mistakes. But driving each other into a teeming cauldron of hate and alcohol will most certainly end in violence. Cut your loses, be good to your kids and remain civil to each other.

Their argument was most likely about money. The woman wanted money. Money and the woman's right to it is the cause of most divorces and violence in the home. It costs money to catch a woman and money to get rid of one...it also costs money to keep one. This monster will sober up and say he "abused" me-she will be set free and begin her hunt for another "host" Remember Domestic Violence means man hits woman. This isn't domestic violence. He didn't give her what she wanted so she defended her right to everything he has by killing him.

Unless it was an act of self defence, she is in big big trouble.

And, here is another case of middle aged spousal murder. That's two this week.
That goes both ways! - The way domestic violence laws are formed is to protect the woman, but what about the man? If a man attacks his spouse he goes to jail. If a woman attacks her spouse she is what, a victim???

romulus3...well said. techall...do you think she stabbed him suddenly while they were chatting? Read the article "they had been arguing", and "she was drunk at the time". Teeming cauldron of hate is a picturesque way of saying they were really, really angry at the time it happened.

She said they were arguing. He hasn't had a chance to speak because he's dead. 6 posts and half defend the murderer. I'm sure wife beaters are angry too, but that doesn't excuse their behavior. She'll cry and say she was afraid he'd hit him AGAIN and then she'll be set free. She probably stabbed him in the back. Poor children..who will feed them ??

fatloser,
you seem to be bitter and provoking the thread to challenge you on the evils of women. What if the dead guy had actually beat her senseless for the last 20 years, went to soapland everyday on the family budget, had girlfriends again on the family budget, withheld monies from her to run the home thus forcing her to get money from her aging parents, cursed his kids every night, abused his daughter when she was growing up, beat his son when he reminded him of his own failures, and became a maniac when drinking always?

Yeah-yeah, but what if he walked in from a hard day of earning money so the family can eat,wear clothes and look up without seeing stars. What if he was a kind and gentle person? Why don't people give him they'd give a woman who was slaughtered under similar circumstances?

The children were the ones who called the police - bummer.
My heart goes out to the children because they are the ones who REALLY suffer in this. What happens to these kids now does anyone know?

They way things have been going here lately, she'll get a lengthy sentence that's suspended for several years.

fatloser,
I understand your sentiment but we are really short of information. We can just assume that they should have divorced. We cannot vilify anyone but the murderer with the information that we have.

It seems that in Japan if you tell the police that you were drunk at the time you killed somebody, it removes the pre-meditation and so it's not 1st degree murder. Almost everybody claims to have been drunk when they murder someone. Go figure.
