A 23-year-old mother who was arrested Friday over the death of her two toddlers at their apartment in the city of Osaka after apparently neglecting them has told investigators that she wanted time for herself, police sources said Saturday.
Sanae Shimomura was quoted as saying she had “got sick of feeding them and giving them a bath” since moving to the apartment in around January when she began working at a sex parlor after getting divorced in May last year.
She was arrested on suspicion of abandoning the bodies of her 3-year- old daughter Sakurako and 1-year-old son Kaede in late June. (AP)
