A 16-year-old girl in western Japan has confessed to killing her father
with a small axe, telling police she did not like him, police and media
said today.

Police in Kyoto arrested the girl after she was found covered in blood
in her home, a spokesman said.

She admitted to killing her 45-year-old father who was a local police
official.

"I didn't like my father so I killed him," Kyodo news agency quoted the
girl as saying.

The father was found dead in his bed, leading police to suspect he had
been killed while he was sleeping, Kyodo said.
