Emiko Hirose faces outrage after shocking domestic violence incident.
A 61-year-old Japanese woman, Emiko Hirose, committed murder by attacking her husband, Yasuo Hirose, 70, with a coffee cup. The incident occurred in 2013 in Isehara, Kanagawa Prefecture.
Emiko’s method raised eyebrows. Instead of typical weapons, she chose a household item—the coffee cup.
“I went mad and hit him more than 10 times with a cup.”

Yasuo, an esteemed professor at Yokohama National University, died from the attack. Emiko reported the incident to the police minutes later, claiming, “I had a quarrel with my husband and now he’s lying unconscious.”
The violence stemmed from Emiko discovering Yasuo’s affair with a woman she despised.
“He had an affair with a woman I hate…we argued because my husband had been cheating on me and got drunk every day.”

The case gained attention due to Emiko’s fierce reaction and unusual weapon choice. Public interest in their tumultuous relationship continues to grow as the story resurfaces.
