Covering the business of education and training

It happens a lot this time of the year in Japan. Students are preparing for entrance exams to get into Japanese schools which start in April.

Lots of younger students - high schoolers, evern junior highers will commit suicide because they fear they will not pass tests.

A 21-year-old cram student retaliated against his 20-year-old jr. college student sister who accused him of 'having no amibition" by killing her and then cutting her up into 10 pieces.

The cram student lived with his sister, a brother, aged 23, and his two parents who are both dentists.

The mother had the unfortunate displeasure of discovering her daughter's body pieces in her son's third floor room. The parts were put into four plastic bags.

The suspect said he used a saw and a kitchen knife to cut off the head, limbs and other parts. What other parts are there that can be cut off?

Brothers and sisters everywhere in Japan are surely thinking twice, three times before they make comments about a sibiling's school performance or lack thereof now.
