An 80-year-old man was being
questioned in Japan on Wednesday on suspicion of strangling his wife and
keeping her body in the freezer for up to 10 years, police and media reports
said.
Masaichi Yamada, who runs a
fish-processing company, was arrested in the northern Japan port of Kushiro
early on Tuesday when the frozen corpse - still fully clothed - was uncovered.
"The suspect
maliciously strangled the victim with a string-like object at their home and
abandoned her body in the freezer at his working place," a spokesman for
police in Hokkaido told AFP by telephone.
It was not immediately known
when the murder took place, the official said, adding the woman would have been
71 years old if she was alive today. (Agencies)
