TOKYO (TR) – Tokyo Metropolitan Police are seeking to confirm the identity of two corpses found in a apartment in
Toshima Ward on Friday, reports TV Asahi (May 9).

Both persons are believed to have died at least three months ago, police said.

The younger sister is wheelchair bound due to a leg problem. The older sister serves as her nurse, police told NHK (May 9).

In addition to confirming the identity of the corpses, police are working to determine the causes of death.
