Nantan, Kyoto Pref. ¨C Police began examining the area around a public restroom in Nantan, Kyoto Prefecture, on Saturday, after a missing 11-year-old boy, Yuki Adachi, was found dead in a forested area of the city earlier this month.
The Kyoto Prefectural Police believe that the public restroom is one of the locations where the father of the victim left the corpse. The 37-year-old father,?who was arrested Thursday on suspicion of abandoning his son's body, is believed to have relocated the body several times around the city since the suspect reported to police March 23 that the boy went missing that day.
The restroom being inspected is located about 2 kilometers northwest of the victim's home in Nantan, and is on the way from the home to Sonobe Elementary School, which he attended. Police investigators started examining the outside of the restroom at around 9 a.m. Saturday, setting up tarps and cordoning off the area.
