A housewife in her 50s who was sentenced to seven years in prison shed tears at her trial.

Tearful “confession

On April 22, 2011, “I felt a haze in front of my eyes, and I heard a cracking sound in my heart.

When the judge asked, “When you say you felt a snap in your heart, do you mean that it was hard for you to accept the demand for money? When the judge asked, Watanabe nodded his head and began to speak tearfully.

I myself was at the end of my rope.” When I called my mother (my own mother) in July of 2009, it was just before she was hospitalized, and I didn’t even know she was going to be hospitalized, and she cried on the phone. I was calling her on my own business at the time, but for the first time I made her cry and I didn’t know what I was saying. That was the last conversation we had. When I spoke to her before that, she told me, ‘Your phone calls are always about money.'”

The judge asked, “Did you resent your mother-in-law for making your own mother cry?” He continued his question,

‘That’s just …….’

He did not answer clearly, and his words were muddled.

At the end of the interrogation, Judge Kenichi Emi asked Watanabe, “Did the victim (mother-in-law) tell you that she was a victim of the crime?

The victim’s (mother-in-law) had been making all kinds of sarcastic comments and demands for money, but until then you had managed to get by by saying, “I don’t have any money. But at that time, he snapped and killed her. How do you look back on the fact that you lost your patience and acted?

Although we could not see Watanabe’s expression from the audience, he seemed to be thinking about his answer as he stared intently into the microphone. However, time passed without a word, and the final bell rang at 17:00.

Judge Emi closed the session by saying, “I guess that was a little tough question. Perhaps he had run out of energy, but he was unable to get up from the witness stand and was handcuffed on the spot.
