In a case in which the parents were arrested for murdering their 4-year-old second daughter by ingesting antipsychotic drugs, the mother told the Tokyo Metropolitan Government before her arrest, ``I didn't give her any drugs. I put them in the drawer in her room.'' Interviews with people involved revealed that he had explained that the items had been kept in storage.
Kenichi Hosoya (43), a company executive in Tokyo's Taito Ward, and his wife Shiho Hosoya (37) killed their second daughter, Miki, who was 4 years old, in March last year by making her take drugs such as the antipsychotic drug olanzapine. was arrested for doing so.
In response to the investigation, suspect Kenichi has denied the charges, and suspect Shiho has remained silent.
Investigations so far have revealed that Shiho had told the metropolitan government during an interview before his arrest that he had been taking olanzapine himself.
Furthermore, regarding the ingredients detected in Miki's body, she explained that ``I did not give her medicine'' and ``She kept the medicine in a drawer in her room.'' This was discovered through interviews with the people involved.
The suspect Kenichi reportedly said something to the effect of, ``Maybe he picked it up and ate it.''
Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Police Department suspects that Miki was forced to continuously take olanzapine for a certain period of time, based on the results of an analysis of her hair.
The cause of Miki's death is believed to be a combination of olanzapine and ethylene glycol, a harmful chemical found in car antifreeze. I'm looking into the detailed history.
