Japanese police investigating a suspected murder in Oita Prefecture (a mountainous region on the southwestern island of Kyushu) have confirmed that a body was discovered at a cliff near a prefectural border, consistent with the testimony of a 58-year-old suspect in custody. The remains, whose age and sex have not yet been determined, were found in a forested area of Bungo-Ono city. Authorities believe the victim may be a young woman in her late teens who was reported missing last month, and are reviewing security camera footage from around the suspect's home to establish the full circumstances of the case.
