妻の遺体を自宅で切断し川に遺棄したとして、兵庫県警は30日、死体損壊・遺棄容疑で、医師の下村憲司容疑者(46)=同県西宮市高座町=を逮捕した。「私ひとりがやったことです」と容疑を認めており、県警は妻の殺害に関与した可能性も視野に捜査を進める。

逮捕容疑は昨年8月14日~同月下旬ごろ、当時暮らしていた同県尼崎市内の自宅で、妻真実さん=当時(41)=の遺体を刃物で切断し、同市内の川に遺棄した疑い。

県警によると、下村容疑者は昨年9月、「妻と先月口論になり、それ以降連絡が付かない」として県内の警察署に行方不明届を提出。その後、「浴室で妻の遺体を解体し、骨を尼崎市内の川に捨てた」などと供述した。県警が9月、供述に基づき市内の川を捜索すると複数の骨が見つかり、鑑定で真実さんの骨と特定した。死因や死亡推定時刻は不詳という。
