일본 경찰이 홋카이도 아사히야마 동물원 직원이 아내의 시신을 동물용 소각로에 유기한 혐의로 조사하고 있다. 30대인 남성은 수사관들에게 자신이 저지른 일이라고 진술했으나, 현장에서 시신은 발견되지 않았다. 당국은 시신이 완전히 재가 되었는지 여부를 조사 중이다.
수사 관계자는 금요일 일본 경찰이 홋카이도 아사히카와시에 위치한 아사히야마 동물원의 30대 시 직원을 아내의 시신을 동물용 화장터 소각로에 유기한 혐의로 조사하고 있다고 밝혔다.
이 남성은 수사관들에게 30대인 아내의 시신을 그곳에 넣었다고 시인했다. 지난 3월 말경부터 아내와 연락이 닿지 않자 지인이 이번 달 경찰에 신고했다.
