Mao Sugiyama, Who Cooked And Served Own Genitals, Faces Indecent Exposure Charge (WARNING: GRAPHIC PHOTOS AND DESCRIPTION OF MEAL)

The artist who cooked and served genitals to a paying group of cannibalistic diners could now face two years in prison.

Mao Sugiyama, of Tokyo, has been charged with indecent exposure more than two months after the headline-grabbing meal, which five patrons shelled out $250 to consume, according to News On Japan.

WARNING: Graphic descriptions below.

The 23-year-old self-described "asexual" and three other people who helped organize the event face charges, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Before turning 22, Sugiyama underwent elective genital-removal surgery. The severed penis, testicles, and scrotal skin were divided up and garnished with button mushrooms and Italian parsley.

An MPD spokeswoman told AFP that the four suspects conspired to "openly display the severed male genitals to the assembled 71 guests" at a music club on May 13.

Sugiyama made sure to follow all laws, including a ban on organ sales, processing of medical waste and food sanitation requirements, according to comments cited by AFP from the artist.

Sugiyama also said the dinner was designed to raise awareness about "sexual minorities, x-gender, asexual people."

The Japan Daily Press reports that, if convicted of indecent exposure, Sugiyama could face up to two years in jail and a fine of roughly $32,000.

Indecent exposure in Japan is described as displaying obscene objects, according to the Japan Daily Press. The paper seems to hint that the charge is a bit absurd considering people attending the event likely knew what they were in for.
 
The diners: Dozens showed up to the event in Japan, but most only got to eat crocodile.
 
 
WARNING: GRAPHIC PHOTOS OF THE MEAL!!

Police Quiz Three Over Swimming Pool Death

...“It’s a swimming pool, not a river. If you see the two corpses, their stomachs were flat which means they didn’t take in any water. It’s our firm suspicion that they were killed and thrown into the pool..."

 


Nigerian Police detectives attached to the State Criminal Investigation Department on Wednesday questioned three members of staff of Chinese Group of Companies over the death of two of its employees at the company’s swimming pool.

Our correspondent, who visited the SCID, learnt that the PRO of the company, identified as Mr. Ajiboye; a driver and a Chinese national were quizzed by the detectives.

It was learnt that Wednesday was the first time the police would question any member of staff of the company since the incident occurred.

Two of the workers, Richard Dada and Odion Imhonbhio, died in controversial circumstances at the pool on September 9.

It was learnt that members or Richard’s family wrote statements at the SCID on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Simeon, the elder brother of Richard, has accused the management of avoiding the deceased family.

He said since Richard and his colleague, Imhonbhio, died in the pool, all efforts to see the company’s management had been met with a sharp rebuff.

The deceased’s brother, spoke with our correspondent on Wednesday at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, Lagos.

He said, “Since the incident occurred, the management of CGC has refused to see us. We have only been speaking with the driver and the Public Relations Officer of the company. They were also the ones that offered N500,000 settlement to us.

“It took the publication of PUNCH Metro to shake the company before they started to take us seriously.”

Simeon said he learnt that the company had advised its members of staff to avoid using the swimming pool as it was being renovated, adding that the deceased were said to have defied this instruction.

He however said even if the swimming pool was under construction, the employees ought not to have drowned.

He said, “It’s a swimming pool, not a river. If you see the two corpses, their stomachs were flat which means they didn’t take in any water. It’s our firm suspicion that they were killed and thrown into the pool.

“My brother was a very good swimmer; he had worked in the company for about four years. He worked in the company’s head office in Kaduna before he was transferred to Lagos.”

When our correspondent approached the PRO of CGC for comment, he refused to speak.

Corpse Found In Suitcase Was Suspect’s Son – Neighbours



Neighbours to Usman Inuwa who was caught with the corpse of a child in a suitcase in Maitama, Abuja have identified the dead child as Goodluck, his son.

The shocked neighbours described the boy as very smart and wondered what came over Inuwa that made him to kill his child. Inuwa, a welder, arrested with the corpse of the child in a suitcase last Saturday, is currently in police custody.

A correspondent of Nollywoodmagazine who visited Bwari where the suspect lived on Tuesday learnt that Inuwa’s wife left him about a month ago, following incessant quarrels between them. The nursing mother was said to have packed out of their one- room apartment, whose veranda was fenced off with zinc. The building was located behind Zenith Bank, Bwari, about 45 km from Abuja city centre. The room which was firmly locked with a padlock did not betray the nature of the heinous crime that was allegedly perpetrated inside it. A fashion designer and immediate neighbour to the suspect said he was shocked to see Inuwa’s picture and the dead child on the Internet, noting that he saw Goodluck last Friday night around his shop. “I was shocked to see Inuwa’s picture and the dead child; this was a boy I saw last Friday playing with other children in the afternoon and later in the night. Before now, Inuwa didn’t betray any suspicious behaviour except that he becomes aggressive anytime he is drunk and whenever he is high on Igbo (Indian hemp),” the neighbour who declined to give his name stated.
Another neighbour, Sam, described his pains when he heard that the welder murdered his son, describing the incident as appalling. He said for the few years he had known the suspect, he was always friendly. “I can describe him as a friendly person, but he is antagonistic and hostile anytime he is drunk and everyone around here (neighbours) knew this and we don’t interact with him once we observe his change of mood. He also quarrels with his wife and the woman who is nursing a baby girl, left him about a month ago,” Sam said.
Daniel Okogie who claimed to have known Inuwa for about nine years stated that the suspect must have been under a spell to have killed his child, whom he said Inuwa took good care of. He said, “We all know Inuwa and Goodluck and we are surprised that he would kill the boy. He took care of that boy and bought things for him; the child was to start school soon and now this tragedy happened.” Asked if the police had visited the crime scene, Okogie and other respondents said they had yet to see them, pointing out that investigators would get clues that would assist them inside the apartment where he was believed to have murdered the child.
The FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Doris England, had said that investigations had commenced into the incident.
