Severed arms, legs and a torso were found in mountainous areas of Kyoto and Osaka on Monday two days after police discovered a human head during a search for a missing Japanese woman last seen with an American tourist.
The police found the body parts in the town of Shimamoto, Osaka Prefecture, and Kyoto's Yamashina Ward based on information provided by the American man, Yevgeniy Vasilievich Bayraktar, 26, who was arrested Thursday in connection with the case.
The torso and a pair of soil-covered arms were found in Shimamoto, and the legs were found in Yamashina. There were no traces of wounds besides the severing cuts. None of the woman's belongings were found, either, including her clothes.
