Japan police probe man over wife’s body in zoo incinerator: Media
Police say the zoo worker admitted burning his wife’s body in the animal incinerator, and investigators are probing whether he killed her.
- Asahiyama Zoo in Asahikawa delayed its Wednesday reopening after an employee admitted to disposing of his wife's body in the zoo's incinerator, local media reported.
- Hokkaido prefectural police interrogated the employee last week after a friend requested a welfare check for his wife, who had been unreachable since late March and previously reported threats.
- Police searched the zoo's animal hospital incinerator on Friday and the family home in Ashikawa on Sunday, while seizing three vehicles, including a zoo car believed used to dispose of the body.
- Asahikawa Mayor Hirosuke Imazu apologized for the "great inconvenience" during Golden Week holidays at a press conference on Tuesday, calling the situation an "unprecedented crisis."
- The zoo remains closed until at least Friday as city officials announced on Monday that they are cooperating with police to continue the search for the body.
