A 37-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of stabbing her 12-year-old daughter to death at their home in Higashiosaka, Osaka Prefecture, police said.
The slaying occurred Monday after the police had warned a local child counseling center Friday that the mother may have been neglecting her three children.
The woman, whose name is being withheld pending investigation of her mental status, claimed her daughter had "stabbed herself," the police said. (Japan Times)
