TOKYO: Japanese police said Thursday they had arrested a 75-year-old woman who allegedly confessed to keeping the body of her daughter in a freezer for two decades.<\/p>\n
Investigators on Tuesday found the body of an adult woman in a deep freezer at the home of Keiko Mori in Ibaraki prefecture, northeast of Tokyo, said a local police spokesman on condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n
Mori “said it was her daughter”, Makiko, who was born in 1975 and would be 49 or 50 years old if alive, the spokesman said.<\/p>\n
“Decay was advancing,” he added, noting that an autopsy would be conducted to determine the cause of death.<\/p>\n
Mori came to the police on Tuesday with a relative to report that she had kept the body in the freezer.<\/p>\n
When investigators visited the house with Mori, they found the body dressed in a T-shirt and underwear, kneeling face-down inside the freezer, the spokesman said.<\/p>\n
Mori was arrested on suspicion of abandoning a body.<\/p>\n
She told investigators that the smell was filling the house so she bought the freezer and placed the daughter’s body inside, according to the spokesman.<\/p>\n
Mori had several children, but police did not disclose how many or what they had told investigators about Makiko.<\/p>\n
She had been living alone since the death of her husband earlier this month, the spokesman said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
