Two-year sentence sought for woman who dumped baby daughter's body in woods

Yuko Emoto, 35, was arrested in February for abandoning a corpse after the partial remains of her her 2-year-old daughter, Kotone, were found in the woods near her house in Hijimachi, Oita Prefecture, last September.

The case received a lot of publicity when Emoto claimed that Kotone had been abducted from a parked car outside a supermarket. Emoto told police she had left her daughter in the child seat in back of her car while she went into the Marushoku Kawasaki supermarket. She said she had been gone about five minutes, and when she returned to the car, her daughter was missing.

Police launched a massive search for the girl, but to no avail.

Emoto was arrested after she confessed that the abduction story had been a lie and that she had actually buried the girl’s body in the mountains.
