‘I’ll never change my fondness for him’… 25-year-old woman ‘stabbed with scissors, CPA boyfriend dies’ Shocking photo taken shortly after her arrest.
The photographer for this magazine photographed the woman immediately after her arrest. Cowering in the back seat of the convoy, only the top of her head was visible from the front. She was looking down so that her face would not be visible.
The shocking incident occurred just before 7 p.m. on September 16.
A woman’s voice called 119 and said, “I stabbed my male partner with a knife. The scene was a 37-story tower apartment building near JR Nakano Station (Nakano Ward, Tokyo). When police and firefighters entered the room where the report was received, they found a man, who appeared to be in his 20s, lying in the living room with a large amount of blood pouring from his neck. He was immediately taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The Nakano Police Station of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department caught the suspect, Kotomi Sato, 25, of unknown occupation, in the act on suspicion of attempted murder. A pair of scissors, 15 cm to 20 cm long, with blood stains were also found in the room. The deceased was a resident of the room, Ms. A, 26, a certified public accountant who was dating the suspect.
He had a strong grip, so I couldn’t beat him.
The two had apparently been arguing since the train ride to the apartment just before the incident. When they returned to their room, they continued to fight and struggled. The suspect stated to the police that “I can’t beat him in grip strength. I thought if I took out a pair of scissors, he would listen to me. I swung a pair of scissors that I found in a drawer of the TV rack, and they got stuck in [Mr. A’s] neck. The police have changed the charge to murder and are now investigating.
According to Sato’s statement, their relationship started in March of this year after Ms. A confessed to him. However, it seems that from the beginning there was constant quarreling. The suspect also said the following.
We often fought over trivial things. When we got into a fight, I sometimes slapped or punched the other person. Even when I tried to make up with them, we would argue again when they gave me an unsatisfactory response.”
When the photographer went to the apartment on September 18, two days after the incident, he found a flurry of investigators coming and going, perhaps for forensic purposes. Mr. A had just officially become a certified public accountant in April of this year. Her promising future was suddenly closed due to her boyfriend’s unreasonable behavior and distorted emotions.
The suspect is said to have told the police, “My feelings for him have changed.
I still have feelings for him.
