A 37-year-old father has been arrested in Japan after the body of his primary school-aged son was found dumped in a mountain forest in Nantan City, Kyoto Prefecture. Police conducted an on-site investigation on the 18th at a public toilet located between the family home and the boy's school, which authorities believe may be connected to the child's death or the disposal of his body. Investigators are examining the full circumstances surrounding how the boy died and how his remains came to be abandoned in the forest.
