Woman Charged For Murder Over Death Of 6 Of Her Ex-Lovers

Prosecutors in Japan have charged a 68-year-old woman with murder,
some weeks after police arrested her on suspicion of poisoning her
latest husband, one of the six men who died while in a relationship
with her in the past 20 years. Associated Pressreport:

Chisako Kakehi has denied responsibility in the deaths.

Japanese public broadcaster NHK says Kyoto district prosecutors
indicted Kakehi on Wednesday over the death of her 75-year-old
husband, Isao. He died in December 2013, a month after they married.
Police found cyanide in his body, and arrested his wife last month.

Police have said they suspect insurance claims or inheritance money
could be the motive for the killings. Other cases are still under
investigation.

Phone calls to the prosecutors' office were not answered late Wednesday.
