Police have arrested a 37-year-man on suspicion of abandoning his son’s body in the case of a missing 11-year-old boy in the city of Nantan, Kyoto Prefecture. 
The suspect, Yuuki Adachi, was arrested at 12:30 a.m. 
Thursday, according to NHK. 
According to the Kyoto Prefectural Police, Adachi is suspected of transporting the body of his son, Yuki Adachi, and abandoning it in a forested area in the city around 2 kilometers from Yuki’s school between the morning of March 23 and around 4:45 p.m. on Monday. 
During questioning, Adachi admitted involvement in abandoning the body, reportedly telling investigators “There’s no doubt that I did it.” 
Adachi had initially told police that his son went missing at around 8 a.m. on March 23 after getting out of his car near the boy’s elementary school. 
However, the child did not appear on security camera footage at the school. 
Police searched Adachi's home on Wednesday and had been questioning relatives on a voluntary basis as part of their investigation. 
Authorities had mobilized roughly 1,000 personnel to scour across the city in a three-week search. 
Yuki Adachi’s body was discovered on Monday evening. 
An autopsy revealed that he died sometime late last month, but the exact cause of death remains unknown, according to NHK. 
There were no signs of external injuries on his body.
