In Osaka, Japan, a 50-year-old man named Kenji Matsuda was arrested for the alleged murder of his elderly parents, after he called emergency services around 5:10 PM on the 27th, saying, "I killed my parents." Upon arrival, police found an elderly couple unconscious in their apartment. They were transported to a hospital, but their deaths were confirmed shortly after.

The police launched an investigation, and while confirming the identities of the deceased, they established that the victims were Matsuda's parents, both in their 80s. Initial reports indicated that the mother had signs of strangulation around her neck. Matsuda admitted to the police that he had strangled her by hand and authorities are also investigating the circumstances surrounding the father's death to determine if Matsuda was involved.

The event has shocked the local community, especially in a typically quiet residential area near a train station. As the investigation progresses, there are concerns about the mental health of the suspect, and the case raises broader questions about elder abuse and the treatment of elderly individuals in Japan, where the population is aging rapidly and such violent incidents are relatively rare.
