A man and woman in Japan have been apprehended, amid suspicion of killing a newborn shortly after birth. So far, the suspects' connection to the child and the circumstances surrounding the crime remain unclear. Japanese law enforcement are investigating the incident meticulously and making efforts to secure justice for the innocent victim.

In Japan, the crime of infanticide often triggers a nationwide discussion about mental health, postpartum depression, and the social support systems in place for new parents, as these incidents are not common. There's a strong social value placed on the sanctity of life, making such cases especially shocking and grievous to many in the community.

Like in Japan, crimes of this nature are considered quite severe in the US and EU. The situations often lead to investigations into the defendants' mental health and potential for postpartum depression or psychosis. Societal discussions often center around how better to support parents and prevent such occurrences.
