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.
