Japanese man cooked dead mum
2006-04-25
Probaly got tired of raw fish, but... isn't that a bit extreme?
A Japanese man has confessed to killing his mother, dismembering her body and grilling part of it on an electric hotplate after she nagged him about getting a job, media reports say.

Yaoki Osawa, 37, was arrested yesterday on suspicion of disposing of his 57-year-old mother's body improperly, police in the western city of Osaka said.

According to police quoted by Kyodo news agency, Osawa killed his mother last May by battering her head with a stone after she fell down some stairs following an argument and was unable to move.

He then dismembered her body, embedding parts like the skull in cement and grilling others over an electric hotplate before throwing them out with the household garbage, supposedly to prevent them from giving off a smell.

Asked why he disposed of his mother's body in such a way, Osawa was quoted by Kyodo as saying: "I was at a loss about what to do with it."

Osaka police confirmed that parts of the body had been encased in cement but declined to confirm other details, saying the case was still under investigation.

Being a charge they can prove today and hold him on. Murder charge may come later after Dr. Quincy-san finishes his work.

Cement Chef - the Iron chefs pull out the caviar, bird's nest and foie gras when faced with a challenging suprise ingredient. Ah, BBQ long pork.
