Tokyo (Japan):
An 82-year-old butcher has admitted to dumping 30 dog heads in a moat near the main detention centre of the Tokyo police department.
On Friday, Japanese public broadcaster NHK and Kyodo News agency reported police were questioning the man, who runs a neighbourhood meat shop. He has apparently told the police he imported the dogs - frozen and already separated into heads and bodies - from China to sell as food.
Reports quote the butcher as saying all the torsos had been sold and, as there was little interest in the heads, he dumped them into the moat.Investigators believe no human heads are included in the discovery. Police plan to remove the heads from the water.
