00:00A woman has been arrested on suspicion of abandoning a body in her residence in Japan, Tokyo's Koto Ward.
00:06The suspect, identified as an unemployed woman in her 60s, is accused of leaving the remains of her older brother, believed to be 73 years old, in their shared home.
00:15On the afternoon of the previous day, a staff member from the local ward office contacted the Metropolitan Police after being unable to reach the man, who was a recipient of public welfare.
00:26Officers were dispatched to the home, where they discovered a severely decomposed body in a second-floor room cluttered with garbage.
00:33The body had reached an advanced state of decomposition, with skeletal remains exposed.
00:38However, a preliminary examination revealed no significant injuries to the bones, suggesting that no foul play was immediately evident.
00:48During questioning, the suspect reportedly admitted that the bones belonged to her brother.
00:52She stated that the last time she saw him alive was about three years ago.
00:56Although she became aware that he had died in the room, she left the body as it was.
