Kanagawa prefectural police said Sunday they have arrested a man over the death of a woman whose body was found in a car in a parking lot in Odawara last Wednesday.
According to police, the suspect, identified as Mitsuo Kitamura, 51, has admitted to fatally stabbing Izumi Takano, 51, a massage instructor from Shizuoka Prefecture, and abandoning her body, TBS reported.
Takano’s decomposing body was found covered by a sheet in the front seat of the car which was registered to Kitamura, police said.

In this heat? I pity the officers that had to move the body from the vehicle. I submit that there is something mentally wrong with anyone that drives around for months with a dead body in their car.

Yabrau, you submit there is something mentally wrong with someone who drives around for months with a dead body in their car? Is someone not mentally wrong to stab someone to death and leave them in the car to begin with?

They never post the motive and I'd like to know why? why did he do it?... I know it must be a very weird, ridiculous and unbelievable motive, the one this man had, but that would make the article more complete, in my humble opinion.
