A devastating incident has occurred in a Japanese retirement home, leading to tragic deaths of two residents. Police believe the victims were attacked while they were sleeping. However, the time and exact cause of the incident remain unconfirmed and full details are yet to be disclosed by the authorities. An investigation is currently underway.

In Japan, public safety is valued heavily, and crime rates remain one of the lowest in the world. However, the alarming rise in crimes directed towards the vulnerable elderly population in recent years has been a pressing concern. The incident not only amplifies the issue of elder safety but also triggers the debate over safety measures in elder care facilities.

In the US and the EU, similar incidents spark nationwide discussions about elder abuse, elder rights, and care quality in retirement homes. These regions hold care institutions responsible for such events, often leading to improved safety regulations and policies.
