A woman on trial for allegedly murdering three men and faking their suicides has testified that she received nearly 100 million yen (S$1.5 million) from an elderly man she had known.
Kanae Kijima, 37, on Friday told the Saitama District Court about her past relationships with men and the amount of money involved. Her lawyers likely will try to present Kijima as a woman who has no objections to accepting money from men and was seriously looking for a marriage partner who would assist her financially.
The defense questioned Kijima mainly about her relationship with an elderly man in Chiba Prefecture, whom she met in June 2001.
"I lived a luxurious life when I was young, so I can't lower the quality of my life," Kijima said she told the man when he asked about her attitude toward money.
