A high school freshman arrested for allegedly killing a classmate told her stepmother she wanted to kill someone a few days before the friend was killed last month in Sasebo, Nagasaki Prefecture, and her parents then attempted to admit her to a psychiatric ward but failed, her father revealed Aug. 4 through a lawyer.

The lawyer released a document written by the father saying the mother told the psychiatrist about the girl’s homicide wish on July 23 but the specialist ended the session saying, “We don’t have time today.” (Kyodo)
