Homeless 62-year-old forces handicapped acquaintance to drink laundry detergent
A 62-year-old homeless man was arrested Thursday in Omiya, Saitama Prefecture on suspicion of having robbed a handicapped man and forced him to drink laundry detergent, the Yomiuri Shimbun reports.
The suspect broke into the house of the handicapped 61-year-old around 4:30 am, and yelled “Die!” to the handicapped man who was lying on his bed, according to the police’s investigation.
The suspect proceeded to force the 61-year-old to drink liquid laundry detergent and then stole some 12,000 yen in cash from the man.
“I wanted money. I decided I’d kill him and make it look as a suicide,” the suspect told the police. The 61-year-old victim survived the attack but sustained injuries which will take one week to heal.
The victim and the suspect were acquaintances, and had learned to know each other in a Omiya park 2 years earlier.
