Authorities in Kobe are investigating a tragic incident involving three fatalities discovered in a residential home on Thursday. A 64-year-old man was found dead in an apparent hanging, while his sister-in-law, aged 62, and her 27-year-old son were found lying on the floor, bleeding from head injuries.
The Hyogo Prefectural Police reported that all three individuals were confirmed dead around 6:15 p.m. The 64-year-old man had been living alone in the home. The situation came to light after the man's older brother made an emergency call at approximately 5:25 p.m., expressing concern that he could not reach his wife and son, who had gone to visit the man.
Upon arrival, police discovered the two victims with injuries consistent with having been beaten. A bloodied hammer and an awl were found at the scene, and there were indications of a physical altercation within the house. Investigators suspect that there may have been some form of conflict among the three individuals prior to the incident.
The residence is located about 600 meters southwest of Seishin-Chuo Station on the Kobe Municipal Subway. The police are continuing their investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding this tragic event.
