A 25-year-old Japanese woman was arrested on Wednesday, April 28, for allegedly killing her wealthy husband.

Sudo stood to inherit a portion of his assets, the Japan Times said.

In a 2018 book, Nozaki wrote that he met a woman, believed to be Sudo, when she helped him after he fell down at a Tokyo airport, according to the report.

Sudo reportedly told her family that she was moving from Sapporo to work at her friend’s real estate business, but did not reveal she was married.
