Suspect’s acquaintance in the case of the dead body stuffed with concrete in Yao City, Osaka, told his “true face.

“Stuffed in Concrete Alone”

On February 28, a horrific incident came to light in Yao City, Osaka Prefecture.

The suspect, Noriyuki Iimori, 41, an unemployed man living in Hirano Ward, Osaka City, was arrested for dumping a body stuffed with concrete. The suspect was arrested in early November last year for dumping a body in a wardrobe in a room of a housing complex in Yao City where his father, then in his 80s, was living. The M.O. was outrageous.

More than 10 years ago, he placed a girl, the child of his then 7-year-old sister, in a metal wardrobe and poured concrete over her. When questioned by the police, Iimori said, “My sister left home and took care of the child.

Iimori stated, “My sister left home and I started to take care of the child, so I concreted the child by myself more than 10 years ago.

He also stated that he “beat” the girl. The suspect Iimori was living with her mother in Hirano Ward at the time, and her father, sister, and murdered daughter were living in a house in Taishido, Yao City, about 200 meters away from the apartment complex where the body was found, and it is believed that the body was left there.

The sister later left and the daughter was taken care of by the suspect Iimori and her mother. The father became single and moved into the housing complex where this incident occurred around October of last year due to eviction due to the aging of the building, but he moved out around the end of the year. It is believed that he brought in a wardrobe case filled with concrete in early November last year. Iimori’s common-law wife also reportedly carried the wardrobe case, but she told the police that she had not been informed of any of the contents, so she was not arrested (she was later arrested on March 6 on suspicion of abandoning a corpse).

The concrete wardrobe weighed approximately 228 kilograms, which suggests that it was quite a feat for just two people to carry it to a residence about 200 meters away using a dolly.
