A Japanese man who allegedly tried to kill a woman he was stalking by putting poison in her shoes was arrested Thursday, police and reports said.

The woman, a colleague, did not die, but developed gangrene in part of her left foot, they said. It was not known to what extent she was injured or if she had to have any amputations.

Tatsujiro Fukasawa, 40, allegedly put hydrofluoric acid, a highly caustic chemical, in her shoes in December last year, a police spokeswoman and reports said.

He is believed to have obtained the chemical, which is used in oil refining or to dissolve rock, at his workplace.

Fukusawa has denied the allegation, Jiji Press said, citing local investigative sources.

Hydrofluoric acid can be absorbed through the skin into the blood, and can led to systemic failure, including heart attacks. (AFP)

직장동료 신발에 독을?



자신의 동료 신발에 독을 넣어 살해하려고 한 혐의로 일본의 한 남성이 구속됐다.

남성의 만행으로 그의 동료인 여성은 왼쪽 발에 괴저가 생겼다고 경찰이 말했다. 그녀가 얼마나 심각하게 다쳤는지는 알려지지 않았다.

탓수시로 후쿠사와(4)은 지난해 12월 그녀의 신발에 플루오린화수소산을 넣었다고 밝혀졌다. 플루오린화수소산은 살에 침투하여 혈액이랑 섞이면 심장마비를 유발할 수 있는 어마어마한 액체이다.

돌을 없애는데 사용되는 이 액체는 그가 일하는 직장에서 가져온 것으로 추정되고 있다.

하지만 후쿠사와는 그와 관련된 모든 혐의를 부인하고 있다. (코리아헤럴드)
