In August last year, a brother and a younger brother in their 8s were found dead in a house in Shichigahama Town, Miyagi Prefecture, and the brother's wife also died. According to investigators, the wife was caring for her brother alone, and it is believed that she was tired of caring for him and forced himself to do so.
On August 8 last year, Minoru Atsumi (28 years old at the time) and her younger brother Katsu (73 years old at the time) were found dead in a house in Matsugahama, Shichigahama Town.
In addition, Mr. Katsu's 70-year-old wife collapsed in the bathroom, bleeding from her neck and wrists, and died at the hospital where she was taken.
The older brother and younger brother were both suffocated to death and had strangulation marks on their necks, so the police were investigating it as a homicide.
As a result, since it was unlikely that a third party broke into the house at the time in addition to the three deceased people, the police suspected that the wife had strangled and killed two brothers, and decided to send the deceased wife to the medical examination on suspicion of murder in the near future.
According to investigators, the wife was caring for her brother alone at home, and it is believed that she was tired of caring for her and forced herself to do so.
