A 17-year-old boy in Otsu was arrested for assaulting and killing his 6-year-old sister. According to an interview with the child guidance center, I learned that three people have come to live together with their mother.
The police are investigating the details.
On the 1st of this month, a 6-year-old girl in the first grade of elementary school was found lying under a jungle gym in a park in Otsu City, and in the case of death, an unemployed 17-year-old brother was assaulted by kicking his stomach. He was arrested on the 4th on suspicion of being fatally injured.
The police sent his brother to the Otsu District Public Prosecutors Office on the 5th.
According to the child guidance center in Shiga prefecture in Otsu city, this sibling lived in different orphanages outside the prefecture for financial reasons, but since April, he and his mother have lived together. It means that it came to do.
The child guidance center visited their homes and schools about once a month to check if there were any problems with their home environment.
At that time, the mother said, "My brother is taking care of my sister," and the visit by the child guidance center did not confirm that the girl was being abused.
According to the police, the girl's body was injured in about 100 places, including a broken bone, and the police are investigating the details.
Midnight siblings at a convenience store
My siblings visited a convenience store late at night in July.
According to this convenience store, the girl visited the store around 11:50 pm on July 20th.
There was also a young man who seemed to be his brother in the parking lot outside.
Suspicious that a little girl was out at midnight, a store employee called the police.
The situation at that time was also captured by the security camera in the store.
According to police, no injuries were found on the girl at this time.
The child guidance center was scheduled to meet with her mother on August 4, after being contacted by the police, but the incident happened before that.
