Iwao's mother (spoilers)

Towards the end, when Iwao's mother returns home from the hospital, she looks weak and perhaps ready to die. She catches Iwao's father and wife by surprise, as they were glad to have finally gotten rid of her. Do you think it's possible that they helped speed up her departure, so to say? Could they have also commited murder?

They weren't "glad" to have gotten rid of her. He was secretly hoping she'd die so he could consume his desire to be with Iwao's wife - he was waiting for her death by natural causes to do so.
