A Japanese doctor was arrested along with his wife and daughter this week in connection with the grisly discovery of a decapitated body at a love hotel.
Psychiatrist Osamu Tamura, 59, and his daughter Runa, 29, were arrested Monday in the killing of Hitoshi Ura in Sapporo on Japan’s northern main island, the Kyodo News reported.
Osamu Tamura’s wife, 60-year-old Hiroko Tamura, was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy when authorities raided the family’s home on Tuesday.
Ura, 62, was found dead in the bathtub of a room in a so-called short-stay “love hotel” in the city’s Susukino red light district on July 2.
None of his belongings were left in the room, and the bed also appeared unused.
He died from blood loss due to multiple stab wounds, and was decapitated, an autopsy revealed, according to the Kyodo News.
