What 62-year-old got to do with 29-year-old?
Gobshite
Would some pictures help you?

Ura (62) involved in previous violent incident with Runa (29).
Ura's head filmed in bathroom of Osamu (59), father of Runa.
It's a bit confusing, but Runa and Osamu probably have to answer some important questions.

Very little in the way of joined up facts reported in this case. Deliberate mystification to titillate readers? Either way this seems a very strange and confusing case with the possibility of some very odd psychological elements going on in this group of people.

There is more heads laying around for sure, this is NOT an isolated case, this is a Serial Killer or Killers.

Possible murder charges ? Ya think ?

A “possible charge of murder” “Possible”!!!! Well his head didn’t fall off”. He didn’t Knick himself whilst shaving. Now ,I’m no Sherlock Holmes, Columbo, Conan, or Inspector Clouseau but I really can’t think of any other charge than murder.!

Wow, SOMEONE was set on some vengeance.

Maybe the psychiatrist needs a diagnosis!

Revenge. But by a psychologist?

Becomes more gory.
What was the intent to do with the cutoff head?

Some additional information from Japanese language media:
The grandfather was incredibly candid and added the following information. Runa rarely attended school when she was young and had issues communicating with people. She did enjoy cosplaying and met Ura at a cosplaying event. Ura liked to cosplay as a female and Runa became a friend him without realizing he was a man. Runa apparently had a deep mistrust of men and avoiding speaking to them. At some point they ended up staying in the same hotel and during the night Ura allegedly sexually assaulted Runa. Destressed and angered by this she told her parents what had happened. The family then decided to hatch a plan to kill and behead the victim with Runa and her father planning and buying items for the murder. The mother has now also been accused of being a coconspirator.

The reason it states possible murder charge is because they need enough evidence before they can charge. Although it may seem obvious who the killer was, video evidence of someone leaving a hotel and the head being found at the residence does not amount to a murder charge. I'd say they are pressing for a confession but it may be difficult to get one given Runa's apparent detachment from society.

this news is just propaganda. there is not a single piece of evidence shown and the suspect can not be heard. As usual, it will be a fabricated case...

They took the head home for a reason. A dark, sick, twisted reason.
zulander
So they have ruled out suicide then...?

That a psychiatrist did this and it was planned and premeditated points up the totally useless body of knowledge that is psychiatry. As someone pointed out, it is doubtful if this is an isolated case. This psychiatrist is dangerously insane!
obladi
That's going to be an interesting trial.

A possible charge of murder? What, was the deceased actually The Headless Horseman who could screw his head back on as he pleased?
Strangerland
Dead people can result in crimes other than murder, such as manslaughter.

This kinda changes things from just simple revenge into something a bit more psychotic.

This is some bizarre stuff. Then they took the head home and filmed it.
Theres a very japanese movie coming at some point.

Naturalboke, thanks for the additional information.
Nah, it’s obvious he tripped in the bathroom and fell against his razor, cutting his own head off! :)

This just keeps getting more and more twisted ... What else are we going find out about this family ??
falseflagsteve
What a terribly queer affair. You really couldn’t make up such a bizarre story could you, lol
Gobshite
You obviously haven't been in Japan long :-)

Psychotic man marries a psychotic woman and they have a psychotic child. After murdering him, decapitating him, they took his head home to make a video. I'm surprised that they didn't eat his brain.
garypen
They're psychos, not zombies.

From the little we know at this point: Absolutely not. This was of one case of extreme hatred against one particular person. No serial killer/s.

Sick and morbid.
