地下鉄ちかてつ切きりつけ事件じけん “テストの点数てんすう悪わるいと叱責しっせきされた”供述きょうじゅつ

It has been learned from interviews with investigators that the suspect arrested for the stabbing incident at Todaimae Station on the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line has stated something to the effect that when I was in elementary school, my parents would severely scold me if I got bad test scores.

The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the details, suspecting that dissatisfaction with the parents educational policies may be behind the incident.

Yoshitaka Toda, a 43-year-old unemployed man from Ikusaka Village, Nagano Prefecture, is suspected of attempted murder and other charges for allegedly injuring a university student with a knife on the platform of Todaimae Station on the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line on the 7th of this month.

Based on my research so far, my motivation is that I struggled in junior high school and became a truant because of my overly enthusiastic parents.

By causing an incident, he wanted to show that if things go too far, children will end up committing crimes.

It was also learned from interviews with investigators that he made statements to the effect that when I was in elementary school, my parents would severely scold me if I got bad grades on tests.

The suspect moved from Tokyo to Nagano Prefecture four years ago and had been living alone, but there is no evidence that he was working, and he is believed to have had no income.

The Metropolitan Police Department suspects that dissatisfaction with parental educational policies during childhood may be behind the incident, and is investigating the details.

Around 11:10 a.m. on the 12th, about ten investigators from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police entered the suspects home in Ikusaka Village, Nagano Prefecture, carrying cardboard boxes to conduct a search.

The investigators were picking up and examining boxes, apparently from online shopping, that were placed outside the house, and taking photos inside the house.
