Three people were killed and another injured after a man attacked his sister with a Samurai sword, the chief priestess of a well-known Shinto shrine in Tokyo.
The event took place on Thursday night in the Tomioka Hachimangu sanctuary, located in the east of the Japanese capital and famous for being one of the sumo cradles in Japan, since it hosted tournaments of the sport during the Edo era.
The attack began when the 58-year-old priestess, Nagako Tomioka, got out of her car in the sanctuary and was confronted by her brother, Shigenaga Tomioka, the attacker, who had 56 years old, and his wife, who had about 30 years old.
First,he attacked with a Samurai sword, his sister and caused her death, then the attacker's wife chased the priestess's driver and hurt him in the shoulder.
Shigenga Tomioka then stabbed his wife and committed suicide with the same bladed weapon.
The cause of the murdering appears to be the post of chief priest that his sister had relegated from him about a decade ago.
OPINION:
It sounds like a movie that siblings murder each other for a position. It is strange because the attacker, after killing his sister, also murder his wife and then himself, maybe was scared of the consequences of the crime.
