He threw his brother's skull in the garbage..a very strange incident in Japan

Japanese police have arrested a 68-year-old man after dumping his brother's skull in the trash, according to police reports.

Local news reports said Tokyo resident Shuichi Murai was cleaning his house last month to prepare for sale when he found human bones in his brother's room.

Reports quoted Murray claiming that the bones were fake, which prompted him to throw them in the garbage.

 But the garbage company that collected the garbage had a different opinion. The company called the police after its workers found in the house rubbish what appeared to be a human skull and jaw bones, as well as a credit card that turned out to be belonging to Murray's brother.

Murray claimed he had not spoken to his younger brother since March 2017, knowing that they lived in the same house, with Murray on the ground floor and his 67-year-old brother Hideo on the second floor, locked up by Vice As.

 Investigators announced Friday that they had arrested Murray for the illegal disposal of human remains.

The report did not reveal how the younger brother died, nor why his bones were found in the house.

Japanese police sometimes arrest people for abandoning a body when investigating a death before adding murder charges if that's what they suspect.
