TEXT: Tokyo – The decomposed bodies of four babies were found in plastic bags
Sunday [ Jan. 25, 2009] in the Tokyo apartment of a woman who committed suicide
last week, police said Monday. Several years are believed to have passed since
the babies died because most of the bodies were skeletonized.
The
51-year-old woman, who began living alone in the second-floor apartment in
Tokyo's Ota Ward more than 10 years ago, was found hanging Friday in a park in
the same ward, police said.
She
left a note saying, ''I have suffered from money issues. I can't pay rent any
more.''
The
younger sister of the woman and her husband found four plastic garbage bags in
the apartment Sunday while organizing the woman's belongings, police said. When
they opened one of the bags, there was a foul smell, and they contacted the
police.
The
four bodies were swathed separately in layers of plastic bags, police said.
Autopsies will be conducted to determine whether the babies were the woman's.
