A woman in Kawana, Mie Prefecture, has been arrested over the death of her partner at their home in June.
According to TV Asahi, the woman, who has been identified as 40-year-old Kayo Kimura, currently a student at an adult-learning college, is accused of causing the death of her live-in partner Tetsuya Watanabe. Police said there had been a pattern of domestic abuse in the household leading up to the attack at around 2 a.m. on June 8, following which Watanabe died. He was 44 at the time of his death.
Kimura reportedly told police that Watanabe had tripped over at the front entrance and had lost consciousness following the fall. However, investigators were concerned about several unexplained, minor injuries found on his face, arms and legs. Interviews conducted with neighbors revealed that the pair began living together in March, but could often be heard fighting, TV Asahi reported.
Police quoted Kimura as saying she has caused Watanabe’s death and that the two of them had been fighting in April and May.
