Human bones found in mountains of Hiroshima after suspect's confession

HIROSHIMA —

Some bones of a human skeleton were found in mountains outside Hiroshima City on Monday and are believed to be those of a man in his 30s who had been missing since last June. Police learned last year that the missing resident of Hiroshima City was involved in a monetary dispute with a former member of the Kyoseikai organized crime group.

The suspect, in his 40s, was charged in a separate incident when he told police that he had disposed of a man’s body in the mountains. Based on this admission, police searched the mountains in Saeki Ward of Hiroshima City, and found the bones.

    Never get associated with organized crime gang. If you do you are digging your own grave. Now that police has bones the DNA should resolve this case, but only for ID purposes. And the rest we will see and wait.

    He was arrested for something and just coughs up a confession for an unrelated crime? Maybe Japanese police has access to interesting chemicals.
