Japanese Woman Murdered in Hungary After Embassy, Cops Ignore Her Pleas

The 43-year-old woman pleaded with the Japanese Embassy in Hungary for help. They told her to “talk it out” with her husband.

Women’s rights advocates in both Japan and Hungary are angry and taking action after reports from Budapest, where a 43-year-old Japanese was murdered by her husband. The woman reportedly begged the Japanese Embassy for help. However, the Embassy, according to friends and her lawyer, refused.

According to Kyodo, a lawyer and a friend of the woman said she was a victim of domestic violence by her ex-husband, an Irish national. The two divorced in 2023. She consulted the Japanese Embassy, as she wanted to return to Japan — but her husband was holding the passports for their two children.

The Embassy refused to grant the kids temporary passports so they could leave. Instead, staff urged her to “talk it out” with her ex.

The woman was found dead in her burned-out apartment on January 29th.

“She was a victim, she was in no position to ‘talk it out,’” her friend told the press. The Embassy refused to comment on the case to the press.
