A psychological examination will be conducted to examine criminal liability for a mother arrested for murdering her son in the first grade of elementary school in Yamato City, Kanagawa Prefecture.
Ayano Ueda (42), a temporary employee in Yamato City, Kanagawa Prefecture, died in August 2019 in a room in his apartment by blocking the nose and mouth of his second son, Yudai-kun (7), who was in the first grade of elementary school. He was arrested last month on suspicion of murder.
According to police, she has denied her charges against her investigation.
According to the investigation so far, at that time, I lived with a man who lived with Yudai-kun, but on that day the man was out and Ueda himself said, "My son collapsed because he had a chest pain." I know I have called the fire department.
The Yokohama District Prosecutor's Office has decided to carry out "appraisal detention" for about 3 months from the 7th, saying that it is necessary to investigate the criminal liability at that time.
A psychological test will be conducted by an expert, and the prosecution will make a decision on the subsequent procedures based on the results.
On the other hand, according to the child guidance center, the suspect had three other children, all of whom died at an early age.
Yudai-kun died after the second temporary protection was lifted, and the prefecture is verifying the response at that time.
