A Japanese housewife
battered her septuagenarian husband to
death with a coffee cup after discovering he
was cheating on her, reports said Monday.
The 61-year-old woman allegedly attacked
her partner after learning of his affair,
battering him repeatedly about the face and
head with the mug at their home southwest
of Tokyo on Sunday afternoon, the Asahi

“He had an affair with a woman I hate,”
Emiko Hirose told police, according to the

10 times with a cup.”
The wife has been arrested on suspicion of
attempted murder, reports said. Immediate
