Mom kills son with a cell phone strap

According to Tokyomango, a 35-year old Japanese mother admitted to having strangled her 6-year old son with his cell phone strap.

"... A reporter on the scene was on TV today, explaining why the mom was under suspicion throughout the short-lived investigation—for example, she was crying his name out desperately while neighbors looked for clues, but when they finally found the body, she refused to look at it.

Also, the GPS-enabled cell phone, which she had urged investigators to track in order to find the boy, had no fingerprints on it. She must have wiped it clean before tossing it aside."
