KYOTANABE, Kyoto -- A 16-year-old girl arrested for murdering her father, a police officer, with an ax has told investigators that she had been troubled by her father's relationships with women.
Police investigating the killing said that the 16-year-old purchased the ax used to kill her father at a hardware store near her home on Sept. 13.
The teen reportedly told investigators that she "hated" her father, and police suspect that she had become troubled over her father's relationships and planned to kill him. They are continuing to question her over the exact motives for the crime.
Police said the 16-year-old, who cannot be named because she is a minor, attacked her father as he was sleeping on the second floor of their home in Kyotanabe at about 4 a.m. on Tuesday, bringing the ax down on her his neck and killing him.
An autopsy showed that he died almost instantly from loss of blood. Injuries were found on five or six places on his body, including his neck and his left hand.
"I cut him several times," police quoted the girl as saying.
The teen's older sister said their father had been kind and considerate.
"He never treated us violently," she said.
