TOKYO, Feb 27 (Reuters) - A U.S. tourist has been arrested in Japan after a local woman he met through a dating app went missing earlier this month, her body believed to have been dismembered and scattered across several locations in western Japan, according to media. Police arrested the 26-year-old man last week on suspicion of confining the woman, who had been reported missing since Feb. 16, media said. KYODO Kyodo / Reuters Police found what appeared to be the woman’s head inside a suitcase at a flat the tourist had booked in Osaka. Security camera footage showed the woman and a man believed to be the suspect meeting in Osaka and entering a flat together on Feb. 16, media said. Separate footage also showed the man leaving the building alone multiple times carrying a large bag, media said.
