Severed human head found in Osaka in missing woman probe

Some post-soviet refugee with sick, troubled psychic... Well, this might have just been a crime in the traditional understanding of the word.

Sorry, gotta be that it's Sunday AM, and my brain isn't working too well yet. The article DID state that he was American, right?

Maybe he was Russian from America judging by the name.

either way not a good thing to read about on a Sunday morning.

If he was Russian from America, he'd still be Russian, unless you meant to say Russian-American.

Yevgeniy Vasilievich Bayraktar,.....

I have an aquantaince with the same last name as this guy here, and while his first and middle names seem to be Russian, the last name is not , that's Turkish.

either way not a good thing to read about on a Sunday morning.

Or on any morning for that matter!

This must have been a “no severed heads” lodging facility. Gotta check that BEFORE you book your stay.

Follow this 27-yr-old guy's trail back to where he has been and there may be more skeletons in the closet. Surely not a first-time crime for him. Yuck.

Japanese prosecutors failed indict Gregory Gumo for the murder he obviously committed. This guy will also probably walk or be imprisoned for a lesser charge as long as he resists the pressure to confess.

Sick and scary, you just never know who you will end up with.

Not to disagree with you, but in all the local reports I saw here as the news was breaking, including NHK, his American nationality was mentioned large, just about the one common denominator, long before they even revealed his name. You can read anything into that as you like, even to perhaps relief this time that the perp was not Japanese.

There is this, but also the OJ story in the USA so no country is perfect. Justice is justice.

As much as I hate jcops, good job! Anybody who can chop a head off needs a life in prison.

I don't see why there is confusion over the guy and his nationality.

He's American.

And yep, he could have been any nationality.

The poor victim is still dead.

Reports of body parts turning up in the hills around Kyoto Yamashina and Osaka; the cops reckon they may be hers.

This guy must have had serious local knowledge to be able to do carry out this crime in such a short time.
