Police on June 22 found the body of a 6-year-old boy near the home of his 34-year-old mother here who was arrested by Hyogo Prefectural Police the same day along with three siblings on suspicion of illegally confining and injuring the boy’s grandmother. Arrested were Nao’s mother, 34, and her brother, 32, and twin siblings both 30. Nao had lived with his 57-year-old grandmother, Yumiko, and the four suspects in an apartment complex in Kobe’s Nishi Ward. The four are also accused of conspiring to mistreat Nao’s grandmother, Yumiko, intermittently confining her in a closet at the home between around March and June 20. On June 19, they allegedly hit her in the back several times with a metal pipe, injuring her. Police have not disclosed whether the four suspects, including Nao’s mother, have admitted to or denied the allegations against them.
