The 25-year-old Japanese mother Mao Togawa brutally killed her newborn baby in a cafe in Tokyo and dumped the body in a locker last month. It was only after a filthy smell of the decomposing infant body started circulating, that the body was discovered. 

According to the Police officer, an infant was choked to death by mother who later admitted that she killed the baby. She even said that she went to the cafe in January where she killed the baby "because she cried" and later placed her body in a suitcase and abandoned it in a nearby baggage locker.

During the investigation, she shared that she gave birth in the cafe and she immediately killed the infant as she cried.

Police questioned the suspect after CCTV footage showed her slotting coins into the locker - in a busy area with many restaurants and hotels - to keep it closed.
