Nursing home resident death Former staff Permitted to kill on first trial Yokohama District Court September 25, 16:21
In January, a judge trial of a former employee who was charged with murdering a head of a 89-year-old woman in a nursing home in Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture began. Admitted about the sins.
Defendant Maki Tamura (32), who worked as a care worker at a nursing home in Yokosuka City, pressed and killed the head of Mr. Ituko Shibuya (89), who had been in the hospital in January. They have been charged with murder and theft for repeatedly cashing out 1.25 million yen using cash cards.
He is also charged with guilty of taking away Mr. Shibuya's bankbook and hiding it.
On the 25th, in a judge trial that began in the Yokohama District Court, Defendant Tamura stated that “murder and theft are allowed”, but denied the indictment that the bankbook was hidden.
The prosecution stated in the opening statement, “I was accused of Mr. Sugaya that I had withdrawn cash from my account without permission and asked for forgiveness. "The bankbook was found at the desk of the defendant in the facility."
The defendant's lawyer, on the other hand, argued that the passbook was found on the defendant's desk, "it may have been entered by someone other than the defendant."
