Osaka woman accused of cutting off ex-boyfriend’s finger with axe, nipple with scissors

OSAKA (TR) – Osaka Prefectural Police have arrested a 23-year-old woman for allegedly cutting off her former boyfriend’s ring finger and nipple in Osaka City, reports Mainichi Broadcasting System (Apr. 23).

Between September 30 last year and January 28, Saki Sato, of no known occupation, allegedly used an axe to sever the left ring finger of the man, 21, and scissors to cut off his left nipple.

Sato has been indicted three times in the case, including for assault. During questioning, she said, ‘[He] bought the axe himself with my smartphone and cut off his own finger.”

She added, “He cut off his nipple as a joke.”

Sato lives in an apartment building in Kita Ward. In January, Sato reported to the police that she was having trouble with him over a break-up. When police arrived at Sato’s home, they found his ring finger in a jar in the refrigerator.

The man told police that his finger was cut off due to suspicion of him being unfaithful.
