A previous leading politician implicated of killing his socially reclusive child in 2014 got in an appeal of blameless on the premises of protection at the initial hearing of his charm testTuesday
During the hearing at the Tokyo High Court, the protection group for Hideaki Kumazawa, a previous vice ranch preacher, specified that “Since his intuition told him he could be killed by the victim, he killed him by reflex.”
Kumazawa, 77, was punished to 6 years behind bars by the Tokyo District Court in December in 2014.
Although the reduced court judgment stated Kumazawa had actually planned the murder of his 44-year-old child Eiichiro, his protection stated Tuesday the judgment was based upon valid mistakes.
“After his eldest son threatened him by saying ‘I’ll kill you,’ (the defendant) committed the crime because he believed he had no choice but to resist by stabbing his son with a knife,” a defense attorney stated.
The protection likewise suggested that also if his conduct did not comprise protection, Kumazawa is not responsible in the event as he thought he remained in a dilemma.
Failing pardon, Kumazawa must have just a put on hold sentence as his child’s physical violence in the house was the root cause of the murder, the protection stated.
The area court located that Kumazawa stabbed his child in the neck and also breast several times on June 1 in 2014 in their residence in Tokyo, triggering his fatality from large blood loss.
