Chiba man accused in fatal stabbing of mother

CHIBA (TR) – Chiba Prefectural Police have arrested a 42-year-old man over the alleged fatal stabbing of his mother at their residence in Chiba City on Friday, reports TBS News (July 19).

At just past 10:00 a.m., a relative of Yasuko Fujishiro, 68, alerted police after finding her collapsed in the garden of the residence in Hanamigawa Ward with a knife in her back.

“My son did it to me,” she told police upon the arrival of police. Fujishiro was taken to hospital, but died a short time later.

Police later detained her son on a street in Chiba City.

Upon his arrest on suspicion of murder, he denied the charges. “As far as I can remember, I did not stab my mother with a kitchen knife,” he said.
