Saki Sudo denied murdering her husband who was found dead at his home.
A 28-year-old woman has been found not guilty of murdering her wealthy 77-year-old husband who styled himself as a Japanese Don Juan. Saki Sudo was charged after Kosuke Nozaki was found dead at his home in Tanabe City from a drug overdose in May 2018. The pair had wed just three months earlier, and she received a monthly allowance of one million yen from him, the Kyodo news agency reported. Prosecutors accused her of marrying Mr Nozaki and then drugging him to inherit his fortune.
Prosecutors also alleged Sudo had searched online for 'perfect crime' and 'stimulant drugs, lethal amount'. Judge Keiko Fukushima, of the Wakayama District Court, said it was the first time Mr Nozaki had used the stimulant and 'it cannot be stated that there is no possibility he ingested a lethal amount by mistake'.
