A 23-year-old part-time worker was arrested Friday on the technical charge of abandoning her baby's corpse, while her father was arrested on suspicion of burning the body in a park in the city of Fukui, police said.
Both Momoko Miyanaga and her father, Yoshihiro, a 51-year-old textile company executive, have owned up to the allegations, the police said.
Bones believed to be from the baby were seized at their home in the city, according to the police.
Investigators are questioning the suspects and family members they were living with to determine the cause of the baby's death. (Japan Times)
