Nine divided bodies were found in cooles and boxes with instruments when officers visited his apartment, which was named “House of Horror” in the media, BBC reports.
Shiraiya acted to satisfy “their own sexual and financial desires”, and the murder “caused great shock and anxiety for society,” Suzuki said.
