Family, Murderer: Confessions of a Desperate Caregiver
by (japan) Nhk Special Program Recording Team
About This Novel
"Care killing", a oxymoron, an extraordinary murder. Perpetrators are not driven solely by hate, but rather they are constantly burdened with caregiving. What kind of struggle did he or she have at the moment when they killed their beloved family member? If one day we have to take on the responsibility of taking care of our family, how should we face it? What can we do when those around us are in unspeakable care difficulties? The NHK special program recording team conducted an in-depth investigation into "care homicide" cases across Japan. Through case files, visits to the crime scene, conversations with the parties involved, and interviews with relevant personnel, the sad truth behind 11 care homicide cases was revealed. These cases focus on care problems such as "elderly care" in which elderly people take care of each other, "retirement care" in which they quit their jobs for care, and "initial care" which is the most easily ignored but the most painful. They try to find the real reasons for committing care-related homicides and explore ways to prevent the recurrence of tragedies, providing a comprehensive perspective for us to understand care from the perspective of others.
