| Fire Crew at Murder Scene |
Aichi Prefectural Police have arrested a 25-year-old woman after she
allegedly killed her finacee by setting him ablaze inside the
residence they shared, reports the Chunichi Newspaper.
At approximately 9:00 p.m. Friday, Maya Hisajima doused the
clothes of Junichi Hayakawa, 52, with lighter fuel and set him on fire with a
lighter after he went to sleep in a room of the third-floor apartment,
located in Moriyama Ward.
Hayakawa was confirmed dead at a nearby hospital about one hour later. Third degree burns covered over half his body.
Hisajima, who was charged with murder, admits to the
allegations. “We are in a relationship and got in a fight. He spent too much money on his interests and not on me. I think he was cheating on me.” the suspect
is quoted by police.
After igniting her boyfriend, Hisajima contacted a nearby police box, saying that she may have killed someone and needed an ambulance and police.
A fire brigade arriving at the scene found Hayakawa on his bed badly burned and unresponsive.
