Ls blog: Endroll 2013-11-19 The district court cried. Do you have anyone who is in trouble? February 1, 2006, Yasuharu Katagiri killed his mother who had cognitive impairment and tried to kill himself as well along the Katsura riverbed. The first trial of the case was held. He had difficulty in making a living because he had to deal with tough nursing, and killed her after consulting with her. After killing her, he tried to kill himself, but he was found and saved from death. Katagiri had lived with his parents, but his father died in 1995, and his mother started to have dementia. He took care of her by himself. Her symptom got worse and he had to quit his job. Income support wasnt allowed. He thought They mean we have to die. After he couldnt pay nursing cost and housing loan, he decided to commit suicide together. As the last devotion for his mother, he took her on wheel chair to Kyoto for sightseeing. He bought a bread and ate it with her, for all the money he had, just 1$. Along the riverbed, Katagiri said to her, We cant live any more. This is the end here. She answered I know, this is the end. With you, Yasuharu. He apologized, and his mother tell him to come closer. When he put his forehead to hers, she said You are my son. Ill kill you. Then Katagiri decided to kill her. He strangled her, and cut his neck by a kitchen knife. During the opening statement, Katagiri straightened his back and looked upward. Sometimes he shook his shoulders and took off his glasses to wipe tears. A public prosecutor testified the process of his devoted care, lost of job, being cornered. Katagiri testified Although I killed my mother, but I want to become her son once again. During statements, a public prosecutor sobbed in a choked voice. The judge Higashio stopped his words in a choked voice. Provosts held back the tears. The court was covered in tranquility. That was sad, painful incident. You definitely have to keep living, pray for your mother, be happy. Never kill yourself. To these words of the judge, Katagiri bowed deeply and said Thank you very much. Everyone in the court sobbed, and the court was covered with sadness. Do you have anyone who is in trouble? ***My Notes, this translation comes from this website about the case: lang-8/554093/journals/236697078421136924492000010764211062437/The-district-court-covered-with-tears
