A 52-year-old Nigerian man was arrested, on Tuesday, on suspicion of killing a Filipino woman, who was found dead in a house in Saitama, Japan, last week with the bodies of her two infants.
Local media quoted police sources as saying the Nigerian man admitted to stabbing the woman, Billoso Alma Tojembara, 40, with a knife.
Both the man and the victim had lived together.
Reports said her one-year-old son, Ishige and five-month-old daughter, Akiko, were also found dead on the night of December 19, when police officers came to the house in Soka, Saitama Prefecture, in response to an emergency call.
The Nigerian man, who has not been identified, was reportedly present at the scene, with injuries to his stomach. He was hospitalized after the incident.
All four had knife cuts and a bloody knife was found in the house. The woman had more than 10 cuts to her upper body.
Police said they will also question the suspect about the deaths of the two infants.
An autopsy has found that Tojembara died from loss of blood and the two infants died due to damage to their internal organs, reports added.
