A man dubbed the "Twitter thug" after killing and cutting the bodies of nine people after being lured through social networks in Japan, yesterday, Wednesday, admitted to a Tokyo court that he committed the crimes, "Euronews" reported, according to local media.

The public NHK channel reported that Takahiro Shiraishi, 29, accused of storing the dismembered bodies of his victims in refrigerators, did not object to any of the murder charges against him, stressing that they are "all true."

In 2017, the Japanese police found, inside Takahiro Shiraishi, nine decapitated bodies, with at least 240 pieces of bone hidden in refrigerators and kit boxes, while trying to conceal the evidence by spraying them with materials intended to feed the cats.
