A JAPANESE man collecting mushrooms in a mountain area today found the
severed head of a young woman, believed to be a college student missing
since last month, news reports said.
The man made the grisly find near the 1223-metre peak of Mount Garyu in
the north of Hiroshima prefecture, where he was gathering wild
mushrooms, Jiji Press reported, quoting police sources.
Police suspect the head may be that of a local 19-year-old college
student who has been missing since October 26, Jiji said.
