At around 8:30 p.m. on June 1, a passerby found man, aged in his 50s, collapsed on a road with a wound to the stomach. While being transported to a hospital, he said that he had stabbed his wife.
Officers arriving at the residence, located about 200 meters away from where he was found, discovered the body of 64-year-old Yoko Baba lying face-up in the living room.
According to police, she had received a stab wound to the chest. A blood-stained knife was also found nearby.
