GIFU (TR) – Gifu Prefectural Police last week found a male corpse in a residence in Aichi Prefecture after following up a tip provided by two men under investigation in a separate case, reports TBS News (Jan. 9).
On January 5, the men, aged 33 and 48, claimed that they had killed a third man in an apartment they were formerly connected with at an undisclosed location in Aichi.
Officers searching the residence found the decayed body of a man, likely around the age of 60. A significant period had passed since he died, police said.
The body showed no signs of external injuries, and no weapons were found in the apartment, police said.
