A 17-year-old Japanese boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder after walking into a police station and telling officers he was carrying the severed head of his mother, whom he had murdered during the night.
The teenager, who has not been named for legal reasons, was holding the head in a bag. "It's in here," he said, adding that he had killed his mother with a knife as she slept on the eve of her 47th birthday.
He later accompanied police to his home in the town of Aizu Wakamatsu in Fukushima prefecture, northern Japan, and led them to his mother's headless corpse lying on a futon.
The discovery is the latest in a series of gruesome crimes, several involving dismemberment, that have horrified Japan, regarded as one of the safest societies in the world.
