Japan zoo staffer allegedly dumps wife's body inside incinerator A popular Japanese zoo has delayed its opening for the summer season after an employee told police he had disposed of his wife's body in the zoo's incinerator, local media reported. Asahiyama Zoo in the northern city of Asahikawa was supposed to welcome visitors on Wednesday in time for Japan's Golden Week holiday period, after completing a three-week maintenance break. But the city government says the zoo will now remain closed until Friday as investigations continue. Last week, police searched the zoo grounds after the employee told them he had disposed of his wife's body in the zoo's incinerator, local media reported. The incinerator was used to dispose of animal carcasses when they died.
