Police are investigating whether another figure gave orders to the man to dispose of the bodies.
In the case of a couple's charred bodies found in Nasu, Tochigi Prefecture, it has been revealed that a man, arrested in Okinawa Prefecture on April 29th and believed to be the director behind the crime, claimed there is yet another orchestrator involved.
The man is an acquaintance of the construction worker who earlier turned himself to the police over his possible involvement in the case.
Police have arrested another man in a case involving two burnt bodies found at a riverside north of Tokyo, with investigators suspecting he may have issued instructions to a man already apprehended in connection with the incident.
Investigators remain cautious, however, since a large sum of money has not been found in the suspect's home or bank account.
