Kyoto police probe Yuki Adachi's father for attempts to hide boy's body

In the ongoing investigation into the death of 11-year-old Yuki Adachi, Kyoto police are probing his 37-year-old father, Yūki Adachi—who was previously arrested for body abandonment—for allegedly searching online for ways to dispose of the body, relocating it multiple times to delay discovery, and other actions. Authorities inspected a public restroom linked to the case.

Following the April 2026 discovery of 11-year-old Yuki Adachi's body in the mountains of Nantan, Kyoto Prefecture, and the arrest of his father, Yūki Adachi (37), on suspicion of body abandonment—where he admitted involvement—police are now investigating additional efforts by the father to conceal the body.

According to The Japan Times, Adachi searched for methods to abandon the body and relocated it several times around the city to hinder discovery. Investigators inspected a public restroom believed to be connected to the case.

The probe into the March disappearance and subsequent death continues, with details on the motive and full circumstances still pending. This follows earlier revelations that the father admitted to choking his son.
