 On May 10, the Narashino Police Station of the Chiba Prefectural Police arrested the suspect, Yuki Murayama, 45, an unemployed man living in the city, on suspicion of murder. On the afternoon of May 9, the previous day, Murayama called 110 himself. The police officer who received the call said, &#8220;I think it&#8217;s true.
 Upon receiving the call, police officers found the bodies of two women in the bathroom of Murayama&#8217;s apartment. There were no signs that the room had been ransacked. The two women were still clothed, and there were marks on their necks as if they had been strangled. The suspect Murayama stated in response to police investigation that he &#8216;murdered my mother and sister. The bodies are believed to be Murayama&#8217;s mother in her 70s and sister in her 40s.
<h2> &#8220;Worried Alone and Worst Case Scenario</h2>

 Murayama lived with his mother and sister in the apartment where the crime took place. As for his motive for the crime, he reportedly stated the following.
 I was tired of taking care of my mother. I strangled my mother and sister with an electric cord.&#8221;
 The photographer for this magazine photographed the sending off of the suspect Murayama on May 11. He kept a sharp eye on the assembled press.
 Former Kanagawa Prefectural Police detective and crime journalist Taihei Ogawa explains the psychological situation of the Murayama suspect and the background to his troubles.
 The suspect may have committed the crime with the intention of being caught by the police. He killed not only his mother, but also his younger sister, who he was taking care of, and then called the police himself. The suspect was unemployed, and his impoverished life and care for his family members must have driven him to the brink of extinction.
 That does not excuse her from the crime of taking the precious lives of two of her relatives. There must have been something she could have done to improve her situation, such as consulting with the government and applying for public assistance. But the fact that he was alone and his problems grew worse must have brought about the worst possible outcome.&#8221;
 The police are also investigating the details of Murayama and his family&#8217;s life.
