During police questioning after his arrest, the father told investigators that, “My severely disabled second son was denied admission to a facility, so I stayed up all night looking after him every day,” and the police believe he was worried about caring for the boy and are currently investigating further. The defendant, Toshio Hiranouchi (77), a resident of Chosei Village, is accused of murder for allegedly strangling his second son, Kiyoyasu (44), who lived with him at home, with a cord on the 4th of this month, according to the indictment.

Government: “If it were okay to kill someone because ’caregiving is difficult,’ then everything would be solved.” Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare estimates that there will be a shortage of 250,000 caregivers in FY2014, but demand will increase due to the aging population. [Flea Market★]
