Grisly find in search for Japanese centenarians

TOKYO (AFP) -- In the latest find, made by police Thursday in an apartment in Tokyo's Ota ward, the dead woman's 64-year-old son told officials that his mother had died nine years ago, but that he hadn't been able to afford a funeral for her.

"She died in about June 2001 in our house," the man reportedly said.

"I laid out her body for a while, washed it in the bath, then broke up the bones and put them into a backpack."

Police are investigating the man on suspicion of criminal damage to a human body and illegal pension receipt, Jiji Press and other local media reported.

Couldn't he pay for her funeral with those illegal pension gains?  Naw, I guess now.  Ew.  Just Ew.
