A couple has been arrested in Tokyo who murdered their daughter by giving her ethylene glycol, a chemical used in antifreeze to prevent car engines from freezing. I feel so sorry for the 4-year-old girl who died. She’s 4 years old, so she’s in her cute prime. Why did she have to be treated so cruelly? Moreover, since the suspect is the manager of a hotel located in a prime location in Asakusa, I can only think that the world is crazy. Where does this madness come from? What is the cause and how can I stop it? I’ve had enough of these tragedies. (Kei)
