A Japanese woman kept her dead mother frozen for 10 years for fear of getting evicted from her home. Yumi Yoshino, 48, revealed that she didn t want to move out of the home that she had shared with her mother in Tokyo. The mother is reported to have been 60 years old at the time of death. The reason why Yumi believed she would have been evicted was that it was her mother who had signed the lease on the municipal housing complex unit.

Yumi was forced to move out of her apartment in January since she was delinquent on rent and the amount totaled 1.1 million yen ($10,500). According to Kyodo News, a cleaner who had arrived to work at the flat discovered the body in a freezer hidden in a closet. An autopsy couldn t determine the exact time, day or cause of death, and the mother s body was found partly frozen. According to the police reports, the body was bent partly to fit into the freezer.

Drinking and driving causes many fatalities on Utah roads each year, according to local law enforcement agencies.
It also leads to thousands of dollars of tickets and fees, according to one Tooele City police officer.
“Driving under the influence is a very dangerous thing to do,” said Jeremy Hansen, public information officer with the Tooele Police Department. “A lot of people are killed in Utah every year due to impaired driving. Even if the driver isn’t involved in a traffic accident, a DUI charge will cost the driver thousands of dollars by time they pay a fine, attorney fees, vehicle impound fees, etcetera. Taking a chance of driving under the influence just simply isn’t worth it, especially if a life is lost. If you drink, do not drive. Find a designated driver.”
COVID-19 changes format, but 100 children were helped ♦
The annual “Shop with a Cop” event this year was a success, but it was different this year because of the pandemic.
About 50 police officers and civilian staff from Tooele City, the Tooele County Sheriff’s Office, Grantsville, Stockton, Utah Highway Patrol, Bureau of Land Management and Wendover City traveled to Walmart in Tooele on Dec. 19 to buy toys for 100 children from the county in need.
“This year, due to COVID, the parents of the children supplied a list of things that the children needed,” said Jeremy Hansen, public information officer at the Tooele Police Department. “The officers arrived at the Tooele Walmart at 05:30 a.m. and purchased the gifts for the children. The officers then delivered the presents to the children at their homes.”
