Another long-term tragic song, an 82-year-old man in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, has been taking care of his 79-year-old wife with disabilities for 40 years. The old man was overwhelmed physically and mentally, and pushed his wife and wheelchair into the sea. The District Court sentenced him to 3 years in prison.
According to comprehensive Japanese media reports, this “elderly care” tragedy happened in November 2022. The 81-year-old man Fujiwara Hiroshi and his 79-year-old wife Fujiwara Teruko lived in Oiso Town, Kanagawa Prefecture. Both sons work in other places. Over the years, Hiroshi Fujiwara has shouldered the heavy burden and took care of his wife’s daily life alone.
On the day of the incident, Hiroshi Fujiwara told his wife that he would take her for a walk, so he pushed his wife out of the door and went to Oiso Fishing Port. At about 5:30 in the evening, Hiroshi Fujiwara pushed his wife and the wheelchair into the sea, and the wheelchair sank into the sea. Teruko was discovered by fishermen after floating and was confirmed dead after being sent to the hospital.
After Hiroshi Fujiwara committed the crime, his 50-year-old son reported the case to the police at 7 o’clock that night. The police arrested Hiroshi Fujiwara on suspicion of homicide, and the prosecution also charged him with the crime of homicide. He specifically asked for 7 years in prison, and Hiroshi Fujiwara also confessed All crimes indicate that since his wife has been in a wheelchair for a long time, he has taken care of his wife for nearly 40 years, and he is physically and mentally exhausted, so he will commit this murder.
The judge of the Odawara Branch of the Yokohama District Court said today (19th) that Teruko Fujiwara was killed by her trusted husband without any fault, and her despair was unimaginable. Thinking about why this happened, “I hope he can get out of prison and spend the rest of his life in good health”, Hiroshi Fujiwara cried and was speechless after listening to the judge’s speech, unable to control himself for a long time.
Judge Mushan Changlang said that although the defendant took care of his wife wholeheartedly, his motive for killing was quite selfish and the method was very bad. The defendant strongly insisted on taking care of his wife alone, so he had doubts about letting his wife enter a nursing facility, and finally because of unilateral pessimism Take the victim’s life, “this kind of regret caused by the refusal to help around should not be regarded as a typical case of care fatigue.”
