TOKYO - A Japanese boy burned down his home, killing his stepmother and
two younger siblings, for fear his parents would find out he had lied
about his score on an English test.
The 16-year-old, whose name has not been released, is thought to have
set fire to the house in Nara, western Japan, and left his stepmother to
die along with his 7-year-old brother and 5-year-old sister, domestic
media reports said on Saturday.
The boy’s parents had been due to attend a meeting with teachers about
his exam results that same day, reports said. The teenager told police
his father, a doctor, had put him under extreme pressure over his
academic performance, Kyodo news agency said.
