American man being questioned after decapitated head found in Japanese apartment

JAPANESE POLICE ARE questioning an American man in custody after a decapitated head was found in an Osaka apartment he was renting, local media reported today. Police believe the head, found in a suitcase, is likely to belong to a 27-year-old Japanese woman who went missing after visiting another apartment in western Osaka prefecture with the man earlier this month, according to public broadcaster NHK. A local police spokesman declined to confirm the case. The woman was last seen walking with the suspect, a 26-year-old man from New York, who was arrested last week after she was reported missing by her family. He has reportedly denied the allegations.
