A trio of loan sharks face murder charges after allegedly making a man who owed them 20 million yen into a curry.
3 “unemployed” men in their thirties and forties, one of whom is a former high-school baseball star, have been arrested in connection with the disappearance of a 27-year-old Tokyo restaurateur 3 years ago.
His body was never found, but a tip-off that he had in fact been murdered led police to discover the trio had apparently been engaged in illegal loan-sharking, and had loaned the man 20 million yen to help finance a business venture, a sum he was having difficulty paying back.
All three were subsequently arrested on suspicion of doing away with him, and one has admitted that “we cut up his body and after that stewed it up into a curry in Niigata.”
Police think their decision to curry his remains was both an effort to dispose of the corpse and to control troubling decomposition odours.
According to testimony from another suspect, they had kept the man’s corpse in a Tokyo freezer for over a year before deciding it would have to be dismembered and cooked.
Police also have evidence of the trio buying a hammer and portable stove, which they believe were used in the crime.
What they actually did with the resultant curry is not yet clear, as police have yet to find any trace of it.
What a bunch of clowns!
Human curry? Eww, best be hiding the poppadoms from these guys.
Guy on the left looks like TV Tanaka from Persona 3, the guy who sold you stuff on Sundays. I believe he also sold Curry as an item oddly enough, lol.
“Police also have evidence of the trio buying a hammer…”
Lol, how do you get evidence for that? Is buying a hammer so uncommon? Do people there get into registry for buying a hammer?
Isnt that what Cartman did with the parents of some dude that was bullying him?
Then it turned out the dad was actually his father.
