80-yr-old man held after keeping wife's body in freezer for 10 years

TOKYO — An 80-year-old man was being questioned in Japan on Wednesday on suspicion of strangling his wife and keeping her body in the freezer for up to 10 years, police and media reports said.

Masaichi Yamada, who runs a fish-processing company, was arrested in the northern port of Kushiro early Tuesday when the frozen corpse—still fully clothed—was uncovered.

“The suspect maliciously strangled the victim with a string-like object at their home and abandoned her body in the freezer at his working place,” a spokesman for police in Hokkaido told AFP by telephone.
