Woman Keeps Dead Mother Under Futon for 8 Months
A 43-year-old woman has been arrested for abandoning the body of her mother in their apartment for several months after her death, police said. Akiko Kumagai, from Sendai, has admitted that the body belongs to her mother. ”
Sometime around mid-October last year, I found my mother dead under a futon,” police quoted Kumagai as saying. “I didn’t know what to do.”
A resident of an apartment complex where Kumagai lives alerted police through a company that runs the apartment on Monday, saying that a strange odor was coming from one of the apartments.
Officers visited Kumagai’s apartment to find a body on a futon. They suspect that Kumagai left the body in the apartment for nearly eight months.

I find it amusing that 90% of the posts here are related to either Chinese or Japanese news, and the 10% remaining from South Pacific “Asian Tigers” and both Koreas. I am wondering if the Weird Asia News staff knows that Asia actually stretches all the way to the North to Russia, all the way to the South to India, and all the way to the West to the Middle East. Why don’t you cut some slack to our Chinese and Japanese fellows, and give some heck to your Siberian, Iranian and Punjabi friends???
