Man Leaves Brother's Rotting Body In Apartment For 1 Year

SAGAMIHARA, Kanagawa -- A man who left his dead brother's body in their home to rot while he chose to live out of his car has been arrested, police said.

Keisuke Yumiba, 27, unemployed of no fixed address, was arrested for illegal disposal of the body of his 29-year-old brother, Kenichi.

An autopsy has revealed Kenichi Yumiba had been dead for about one year. There were no signs of external injury on his corpse.

Police did not disclose whether the autopsy had revealed the cause of Yumiba's death, nor whether his younger sibling was suspected of involvement.

Police said the Yumiba siblings had shared a home in Sagamihara and that they had been searching for the younger brother for some time after residents of the housing estate where their apartment was located had complained of a vile smell and an inspection uncovered Kenichi Yumiba's corpse.

The younger Yumiba was spotted driving around Sagamihara on Thursday and promptly arrested.
