Elderly care Nursing mother-in-law murder suspended sentence Suspension to daughter Nagoya District Court Okazaki Branch July 10 18:32

In a case of a 71-year-old daughter who was charged with killing a 96-year-old mother-in-law in a situation of "elderly care" in Gamagori City, Aichi Prefecture, the court said, "I could not get enough help from others. I am being punished and I cannot blame only myself." He sentenced him to a sentence of 6 years in prison and sentenced him to a sentence of 3 years in prison.

In July of last year, defender Fumiko Otsuka (71) in Gamagori City was charged with murdering the mother-in-law Kiyoko (96 at the time) who was living with him.

At that time, in the situation of "elderly care", the prosecution sentenced him to six years in prison because he was able to ask his relatives for help. It was virtually difficult.”

In a decision on the 10th, Hiroshi Ishii, president of the Okazaki branch of the Nagoya District Court, said, ``I didn't share my care with my relatives, did not fully utilize my nursing care services, and didn't want to bother my family. You should be blamed for lightly looking at your life."

On the other hand, "I was unable to blame myself for the situation in which I was not able to get enough help from the surroundings and was forced into my mind while I was seeking help for myself. At that time, I was in a depressed state. Considering this, the degree of criticism cannot be said to be high.” He sentenced him to three years in prison and five years in suspension.
