Often seems like the biggest risk factor for violent death is having family members.

And here's another one! There has been a family murder nearly every day for the past month. It seems that, Japan is a safe country, until you go home.

Japanese people carry on and on about the special 'wa' between each other, but man, they do a lot of killing their family members.
