Man kills girl, botches suicide in bizarre lover's pact

A man has been arrested after he fatally stabbed his girlfriend before failing in an attempt to take his own life, police said Monday

Think the State will help him succeed in a second attempt?

[GomiGirl]

He admits to the allegations against him, telling the police he and his lover planned to commit suicide together as a sign of their love.

What is wrong with gettting tattoo's like any normal couple???

Guess they shouldn't have translated Romeo and Juliet into Japanese...

You should read some classical Japanese literature. There is a whole sub genre which focuses on love suicides.

Isn't there some book that caused a ruckus a while ago, something like "The 100 most romantic places in Japan to off yourself"? Silly Japanese and their suicides.

[cstaylor]

Yeah, but for every able-bodied Japanese who offs themselves is one less "pure Yamato" for the Japanese population... the right-wing must be wringing their collective hands over this situation.
