Woman arrested for beating 3-year-old to death after soiling diaper
FUJIMINO, Saitama -- A mother who beat her 3-year-old son to death was arrested on Friday, police said.
Keiko Shinoda, 32, from Fujimino, Saitama Prefecture, is accused of bodily injury resulting in death. Police are continuing to question her.
According to police, Shinoda fractured her son Reiga's skull by throwing him onto a futon and banging his head against the tatami flooring at her home at around 1:30 p.m. on Thursday.
"I lost my temper because he soiled his diaper without saying he wanted to go to the bathroom," Shinoda was quoted as telling investigators.
Shinoda called an ambulance, while her father carried Reiga to a nearby fire station, asking for him to be taken to hospital. However, the boy died about 10 hours later.
Shinoda was living with her husband and four children. Reiga, her second son, was the youngest.
