Woman accused of strangling elderly mother spent over ¥10 million tipping video streamersCHIBA (TR) – Chiba Prefectural Police have arrested a 54-year-old woman for the murder of her elderly mother two years ago, revealing she squandered millions of the victim’s yen tipping online video creators, reports Fuji News Network (Aug. 12).
Hideko Ishigami, a part-time worker residing in Mobara City, was taken into custody on the 10th for allegedly strangling her mother, Shizuko, inside her home in Isumi City.
Upon her arrest, Hideko vehemently denied the allegations, telling investigators, “I did not kill my mother.”
Using those funds, she allegedly blew more than 10 million yen on digital “tips” or “super chats” for livestreaming video creators.
The same acquaintance noted that Shizuko had previously spoken about her savings, stating, “I have plenty of money, but I’m not giving it to her.”
