Police investigating the death of Hitoshi Ura in Sapporo, Japan have now arrested a psychiatrist and his wife and daughter, but mystery still shrouds the bizarre tragedy
A woman and her parents have been arrested after a man’s body was discovered in a Japanese ‘love hotel’ – missing his head.
Hitoshi Ura, 62, was found dead in a room in Sapporo – a famous red light district known for prostitution hotels – three weeks ago. A hotel employee discovered the body headless and in the bathtub, according to reports.
Police investigated and now Runa Tamura, 29, and her dad Osamu Tamura and mum Hiroko Tamura have been detained in connection with the death.
Officers claim Tamura and her 59-year-old psychiatrist father conspired in beheading Mr Ura in the hotel room and then relocated his severed head in the middle of the night between July 1 and July 2. It’s alleged 60-year-old Hiroko Tamura conspired with her family in transporting and keeping the head at home in the Hokkaido area of Sapporo.
