JAPAN: Police in Tokyo have launched an investigation after the severed head and limbs of an infant were located inside a freezer at an adult entertainment business in Sumida Ward.
According to The Japan Times, the Metropolitan Police Department uncovered the remains on 6 December, 2025.
Police said a male worker contacted emergency services at around 9 p.m. after noticing what appeared to be a child’s head while cleaning the refrigerator.
An officer dispatched to the scene later confirmed the discovery in the freezer compartment of a refrigerator.
Investigators found the decapitated head inside a plastic bag.
The arms and legs were stored beneath it in a food container, according to information cited by The Japan Times.
The Metropolitan Police Department has confirmed that the torso has not been recovered.
Authorities believe the remains belong to an infant estimated to be only a few months old, though the gender has not been determined.
The case is currently being treated as suspected mutilation and abandonment of a corpse.
Officers have cordoned off the building near Kinshichō Station as forensic teams examine the premises.
The office where the remains were found is used as a waiting room for sex workers, according to individuals who work in the area.
The location sits in a busy downtown district that serves as a hub for out-call services.
A 35-year-old restaurant employee working nearby said he saw the building cordoned off when he arrived for his shift at around 10 p.m. on the night of the discovery.
He added that he often saw women entering and leaving the office.
Another worker, a woman in her thirties from a separate out-call centre, expressed disbelief at the incident.
She noted that although the neighbourhood has a rough reputation, she had not expected such a discovery to occur so close to her workplace.
"This is a rough neighborhood, but I can't believe such a thing happened."
Local authorities have not confirmed whether they have identified any suspects or persons of interest.
