A man in his 60s residing in Kawaguchi, Saitama Prefecture, called police on Monday to report that he had killed his 90-year-old mother's visiting caregiver and intended to kill himself afterward [1]. The caregiver, identified as Kiyoko Suzuki, 63, was scheduled to visit the man's mother at 3 p.m. [1]. Shortly after her arrival, the man called 110 and stated, 'I stabbed a female caregiver with a knife. Now I'm going to stab myself' [1].

When authorities arrived at the scene, they found Suzuki bleeding from a knife wound to her neck. She was transported to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead [1]. The man, believed to be the resident who made the emergency call, was also found at the scene after apparently cutting his own throat and was later pronounced dead at the hospital [1]. A bloodstained knife was discovered near the man [1].

The man's elderly mother was not injured during the incident [1]. No market implications, analyst opinions, or forward-looking statements were discussed in the article [1].
