According to police, Shigeki Obayashi called 110 at 10:15 a.m. on Friday and said, “I killed my wife. I strangled her 4-5 days ago,” Sankei Shimbun reported.
Police went to the house and found Obayashi’s wife lying face down in the hallway on the first floor. Police said there were no visible external injuries on the woman and that an autopsy will be held to determine the cause of death.
