Indictment Insulin

(Japan Economic Newswire Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)CHIBA, Japan, March 31_(Kyodo) _ Prosecutors indicted the wife of a 54-year-old farmer in Chiba Prefecture and another woman Friday on charges of attempted murder for injecting him with insulin in 2004, they said.


Shiori Suzuki, 33, admitted to having injected the husband, Shigeru, with the drug, which she received from the 41-year-old second defendant, Kumiko Taguchi, in April 2004, but she denied she intended to kill him, the prosecutors said.

According to the indictment, Shiori, a naturalized Japanese from Shanghai who operates an adult entertainment club, injected Shigeru with 3 milliliters of insulin at their home in Hikari in the prefecture near Tokyo.


Shigeru, who did not have diabetes at that time, became unconscious and is still in serious condition.

Shiori was quoted by investigation sources as saying she tried to make Shigeru weak and hospitalized as she thought he wanted to divorce her due to arguments over the children she left behind in China.

But Taguchi, unemployed, confessed Shiori asked her if there was a drug that can make people "dead for unknown reasons," the sources said.

The inquiry prompted Taguchi to pass on the insulin, which was originally for her husband suffering from diabetes, to Shiori, who promised a good reward, they said.
