日本北海道「旭山動物園」今年3月發生一起焚屍命案,凶嫌為任職多年的男員工鈴木達也,他涉嫌將妻子遺體運入動物園焚化爐毀損,事後被警方依殺人罪嫌逮捕,今(24)日被移送檢方偵辦。根據警方最新調查,他們從鈴木達也手機搜尋紀錄發現,他從數月前就開始頻繁搜尋3組關鍵字,懷疑他早有預謀犯案。
綜合日媒報導,現年33歲的鈴木達也,在位於北海道旭川市的旭山動物園工作多年,曾接受媒體採訪分享實現成為飼育員夢想的他,卻在今年3月31日晚間,涉嫌在自家勒斃30多歲的同居妻子鈴木由衣,再開車將妻子遺體運往旭山動物園的內部,接著使用園內設置的焚化爐將妻子遺體燒毀數小時,企圖滅證。
警方表示,鈴木達也坦承不滿被妻子懷疑外遇,所以用繩索將妻子勒斃後,再把遺體載往動物園棄屍。警方解析鈴木達也的智慧型手機後,發現早在案發前數個月,他就多次搜尋「絞殺」、「焚化爐時間」、「殺人與傷害致死的差異」等關鍵字,研判他可能有長期計畫性犯案,因此正在慎重地調查此案。
消息人士透露,警方已經在動物園一處僅供員工出入的區域,發現一個疑似鈴木達也妻子的手機,其外表已遭嚴重破壞。根據警方說法,鈴木達也曾供稱,已砸爛妻子手機,初步推測他可能是為了消除紀錄而破壞。除了發現手機,警方還在園內找到多條繩索、藍色帆布,以及調出園內監視器拍到他在案發當天的異狀。
報導指出,案發後鈴木達也被警方持續追查一個月,才在5月1日正式逮捕鈴木達也,他則在接受警方偵訊後坦承犯行,並因涉嫌毀壞遺體罪,被檢方起訴。隨著警方深入追查,鈴木達也的殺人嫌疑加深,因此在5月22日,警方依涉嫌殺人再度將其逮捕,接著在5月24日將他移送旭川地方檢察廳偵辦。
