12 Year Old Son Killed By Japanese For Not Studying.

A 48-year-old Japanese father stabbed his 12-year-old son to death with a kitchen knife after the boy failed to study for a school entrance exam, officials said.

Kengo Satake, the boy’s father, told police that he “argued with his son for not studying” before a test to enter a private junior high school, according to public broadcaster NHK.

AFP reported that the son, named Ryota, died from loss of blood in hospital on Sunday, as confirmed by officers working in Aichi prefecture in the city of Nagoya.

The father was arrested after hospital staff phoned the police. He told the officers that he had stabbed Ryota “by mistake”.
