Japanese police have found nine mutilated
bodies dumped in containers with their heads
cut off and flesh stripped in a suburban Tokyo
flat, media reported Tuesday. Tokyo police have arrested 27-year-old
Takahiro Shiraishi who reportedly confessed
to slicing the flesh off the bodies and
throwing it in the trash, then sprinkling cat
litter over the remains in an effort to cover
up the evidence.
According to local media, Shiraishi told police
he had chopped up the bodies in a bathroom,
while a saw was found in his room. The suspect reportedly told investigators he
had “dumped cut flesh and organs in the
trash”. Police and journalists swarmed around the
nondescript apartment in the quiet residential
neighbourhood of Zama, as locals struggled to
comprehend how an act of such violence
could have occurred so near them. “It’s really cruel. He used a saw to
dismember the bodies or something. He must
be abnormal to have done such things,” said
neighbour Hideaki Hosogaya, 83. The Sankei Shimbun newspaper quoted
another neighbour as saying he had smelled
an odour he had “never smelled before”. “I thought it was the smell of sewage,” he
said. Police used blue tarps to block views inside
the two-storey building, and covered
windows of the second-floor room where the
bodies were discovered. Japanese social media users were quick to
draw parallels with Halloween. One Twitter
user wrote: “Nine dismembered bodies
found on the day of Halloween. Humans are
definitely scarier than ghosts.” Another said: “What a psychotic event on
Halloween. I don’t think I could bear 10
minutes with nine dead bodies around.” – ‘Die with me’ – Authorities had been investigating the
disappearance of a 23-year-old woman and
discovered a connection between her and
Shiraishi. This woman had earlier tweeted “I’m
looking for someone to die with me”,
according to the Sankei Shimbun daily. Other media said Shiraishi and the woman
had connected via a website featuring
information about suicides. A CCTV image showed Shiraishi and the 23-
year-old woman walking together last
Monday, NHK reported. She had been missing since September 21 and
her older brother reported her
disappearance to police, according to the
Asahi Shimbun. When police visited the apartment, they
originally found two heads inside a cool box
at the entrance before making the grisly
discovery of the other body parts, according
to Jiji Press. “During the course of the investigation, the
heads of nine bodies have been discovered”
inside various coolers and containers in the
apartment, private TV network TBS said. For the time being, police arrested Shiraishi
on a charge that he dismembered one body
and placed it inside a cooler, a charge that he
was not contesting, according to a spokesman
at Tokyo Metropolitan Police. “He has said ‘I dismembered a body and
placed it inside a cooler and poured cat litter
over it. It was meant to hide the body that I
killed and to hide evidence’,” the
spokesman told AFP, declining to elaborate. Japan prides itself on a low crime rate but is
no stranger to high-profile crimes. Earlier in October, a 32-year-old father was
arrested on suspicion of stabbing his
daughter to death. He admitted torching the
house in which his wife and four other
children were found dead. In Japan’s bloodiest crime for decades,
Satoshi Uematsu faces charges of killing 19
people and attempting to kill or injure 24
others at a disability centre near Tokyo in
July 2016. In 1997 a 14-year-old schoolboy decapitated
an 11-year-old acquaintance and placed the
head at the gates of his school.
