allegedly squeezed himself in a section of a gutter 28cm wide, with his head
under a piece of iron grating, a police spokesman said on Wednesday (Nov 11).

JAPANESE WOMAN STRANGLES HUSBAND OVER MISSING GIFT?
TOKYO, Japan – A 43-year-old Japanese woman who allegedly
tried to strangle her husband because he did not give her a present in
return for a Valentine’s day gift was being quizzed by police on Monday.
Japanese men are supposed to offer presents to their partner on March
14, known as White Day, in return for the chocolates and other goodies
they received on February 14, Valentine’s Day.
But after apparently being spurned by her 31-year-old husband, Mie Nishiyama allegedly tried to throttle him with a necktie.
Nishiyama, who was arrested at her home in the western city of Sakai
shortly after midnight following an emergency call from her husband,
told police she suspected he was having an affair.
“He did not give me a gift in return for Valentine’s Day. I was
angry and strangled him,” she was quoted by police as saying.
She said she had not intended to kill her husband, a police official
told AFP, but she had nonetheless been arrested on suspicion of
attempted murder.
The Western custom of Valentine’s Day was modified when it arrived in
Japan to become a one-way street in which women do the giving,
presenting chocolates to many of the men
in their life – colleagues,
bosses and partners.
