A 31-year-old mother “stabbed her 2-year-old daughter in the chest” in a horrifying photo.

My wife stabbed our child with a kitchen knife.”

It was a little after 1:00 p.m. on August 12 when a man panicked and called 110.

The call came from a residence in Saitama City’s Minuma Ward. Upon receiving the call, police officers from the Omiya Higashi Station of the Saitama Prefectural Police Department rushed to the scene to find a young girl bleeding from the chest. The suspect, Ayana Hayashi, 31, the mother of the child and wife of the man who reported the incident, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

The victim, a 2-year-old girl, is Hayashi’s eldest daughter; her husband noticed the child crying from the upstairs bathroom, found his wife and the bleeding eldest daughter, and called the police. Hayashi stabbed his eldest daughter multiple times in the chest with a kitchen knife. Fortunately, the eldest daughter was conscious and was transported to the hospital, but her condition was not critical.

The suspect Hayashi admitted to the police that he committed the crime. He said, “I was troubled by my relationship with my husband, my mother-in-law, and my own mother. （I am sure that I stabbed [my eldest daughter]. Hayashi lived with her husband, mother-in-law, and eldest daughter.

The curtains of the room were still closed.

When this magazine’s photographer went to the house where the incident took place, he found it deserted and quiet.

What kind of face did the suspect, Hayashi, have? A neighbor said, “The Hayashi family moved into the house.

The Hayashi family moved into the house about two years ago. The mother (Hayashi) was working at a company and probably left her daughter at a day-care center. Every morning around 8:00 a.m., she would go out with her daughter in her arms and return in the evening. He is not a very social person and rarely interacts with his neighbors. He has a large yard, but I have never seen him let his daughter play in it.

It seems that her grandmother (Hayashi suspect’s mother-in-law) was also confined to the house. The curtains in the room were kept closed most of the time. I heard a woman yelling from her home, although I am not sure whose voice it was. I also heard a child crying and screaming. The mother was tired and always looked exhausted.

No matter how deep the troubles at home were, they would not justify the attempted murder of his eldest daughter. Hayashi is the suspect who attempted to kill her own daughter. The police are investigating specific family troubles that may have had a significant impact on the incident.
