(This is a tragic case. Where are the government support services for this poor woman? This is a tragedy that could have been avoided. Imagine, having to look after a bedridden man for 10 years, without support!

Police said they found Gihei with stab wounds to many parts of his body. He was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
During questioning, Kazuko was quoted as saying that she was physically and mentally exhausted from taking care of her husband, NTV reported. Gihei had been bedridden since suffering a stroke 10 years ago, police said.
Kazuko was also quoted as saying that she wanted to kill herself, too.
