Woman clobbers lover with liquor bottle after spat over splitting

Friday, 28 March 2008

A Tokyo woman was arrested Thursday for the attempted murder of her lover by bashing him repeatedly over the head with a liquor bottle, police said.

Yuko Yanatori, 24, unemployed of Toshima-ku, was arrested for the attempted murder of her 21-year-old lover, who remains unconscious in a serious condition.

Yanatori admits to the allegations.

"We had a fight because he came home late. Then he started to talk about splitting up, so I wanted to kill him," she told the police.

Police said Yanatori smashed her lover to the head with a bottle of liquor three or four times, just before 4:30 a.m. on Thursday. She called for an ambulance minutes later, telling paramedics she had killed someone. Police officers arrived on the scene shortly after and arrested her.
